Portland has a Wildwood too
I think the sun makes me lazy. That, or I am lazy. Sometimes when you offer the excuse for yourself, life just sounds better. Where am I going with this? Oh yea, it has been a month since my trip to Portland, and I still have a queue of pictures waiting. Just two more posts here and then it will all be over! Phew! Anyway so the reason I went to Portland was for a friend's (Linda) wedding. Before the afternoon ceremony, my friends Gracathon (Grace + Jonathan, really it was that or Jonarace.) For lunch we went to Wildwood (not the same as the Wildwood in New York) because I wanted regional cuisine that happened to be open for lunch on a Saturday... actually that is much more difficult than you would imagine...

Haiku and I cannot count
There are many rites of passages in a man's life. Learning to walk is a big one. Learning to ride a bike is a doozy as well. Then you have things like falling in love, getting married, starting a family, blah blah. And then you have things like, "learning that you cannot count late at night while high on caffeine." Pepsi does that to you. Or maybe spiked pepsi does that to you. Who is counting anyway? Regardless of the beverage in hand, sometimes when you need a haiku, you need a haiku, even if it is 4-7-5 and not really a haiku. I am not sure what this rite of passage really means, but apparently it means that I need to count with my fingers elementary school style. Will do a better job next time people, I promise.

James serves a solid fancy pants burger
After seeing Adam go get a fancy pants burger in Midtown, I longed for a fancy pants burger too. Luckily, a new restaurant called James opened up around my part of town. The original plan was to try something 'real' on the menu but I always love a good burger. Sometimes at a restaurant, I feel weird going for the burger when it is a full-fledged restaurant. It makes me wonder if the burger is enough to help me feel the pulse of the restaurant. After all, you do not travel to China to order lasagna... because you cannot find that in China; hardly anyone makes those kind of noodles and cheese ain't that big over there. Luckily for me, there was a burger at James!

Pok Pok
So I have this friend, and we will call him Eric, because that is his name. Eric is a teacher, and as such he likes to instruct his peers (like me) on how to drink copious amounts of beer in front of high school students. Wait a minute, that is only after class, and only in front of adults. Today he suggested a book to me called, Writing Well. I am really excited because maybe that book will tell me to put the period within or after the parenthesis and how to write about a fourth grade level (hopefully). This past weekend I looked through all the PDX pictures and realized there was more! And who knew Pok Pok in Portland, Oregon would have a Thai restaurant that puts all New York Thai restaurants to shame.

Grays Papaya
For fourth of July, the thing to do is to have a barbeque in your backyard. Maybe that is why I am so into hot dogs these days. And I am going home for July 4th weekend, where my mom will probably tell me, "You look like you have been eating hot dogs all the time. What is up with that? Aiyowaya!" (All of that would be in Chinese, except the last part, which is not a word.) And after papaya dog and a haiku on hot dogs, it is time to talk about the winner. The winner is gray's Papaya because after you down the hot dog, you feel like the sexiest thing in the world (but just do not look at yourself in the mirror with your shirt off but if you do try my trick: get a mirror that is not very tall so when you stand in front of it you do not get to see your belly...) Winner winner, chicken dinner. I mean, weiner dinner.
