I was a senior in high school. When I woke up my parents that morning by speaking wildly about planes and New York, they thought I was making some kind of Orwellian prank. I left the tv on in the...

I was fascinated reading everyone's response to this conundrum! Personally, I'd say this: -Murder is more atrocious than [natural, accidental] death. There most definitel...

Ditto, STH. I don't think it's that much of an abomination (especially in the right setting), and I certainly don't think of it as porn. I bet it's fantastic to read in, great for doz...

How can you deny something described to have, "suction velocity of a category 2 hurricane"?

My lady would be stoked if I brought home a much-needed vase. Not so stoked if I brought home another bag, but I think she'd adjust... right? :)

The duvet cover is awesome, but should I be ashamed to say I think the pillowcases are the best part of the whole bed? :)

I moved to Portland from So Cal in 1996, so I get Slim's comment... and in response (and in my totally novice opinion), I think the aforementioned Oregon xenophobia has dissipated pret...

Rubytubs-- I happen to really like the chandelier in this photo because I think it's fun. :) BrittanyKate-- your room is dramatically improved, imho. You should be really excited! ...

I think this is a super example of how reorganizing can alter tone... and I bet that changing just this corner had an affect on the rest of the room! For costing only a couple hours worth of work,...

Totally not planting this winter :( :( :( but coming back with a vengeance in the new year! (2007 was my first gardening year. Built a 3'x5'x1' bed myself! Woo!) I can't quite remem...

I love the light fixture above the tub (CHECK IT OUT! *drool*), the blue and white room (because that bedspread is so unexpected), and the use of orange (is that orange?) in the first pic. Usuall...

I would've expected an orange/pink room to be UBER girly-- I think you did a good job of keeping it hip to your tastes. Only thing? The frames painted orange and pink? I might've put them on a c...

I have a feeling that if I walked into your home, I'd Oooh and Aaaah for 20 minutes. Buddha and Warhol is all it really takes! :) That said, do you get any natural lighting? (Above the bed, it s...

Your shower is to-die-for! :)

E, It's funny you mention the bathroom debacle. I lived in Uni Housing for almost 2 years (and indeed they are apartments, not dorms) here in PDX with a bath only. (If your friend is ...

Anne, There's some ongoing tension between bicyclists and drivers in town. Of course, both teams cite the shittiest bicyclists/drivers as examples for why the other is so damn inconsi...

Portland, Portland! Restaurants worth a try, $10-20/person: The Farm on East Burnside. All local, seasonal, organic. Located in an old house, good for a small group of 2-4, chi...
