e:jill, e:mk and I went to see Magic Mike tonight. It really had some horrible horrible acting, especially his love interest who had the most annoying life and just was annoying. Not that anyone was a great actor in it …
So Portland has the donut shop where people line up practically around the block 24/7 to get donuts. At 2am last night I thought it was a good idea to try them. I got three and ate the mass of 1/2 of one. I am really no…
