I've moved back to Portland now; going back to school and being with the family for a while. It's been nice so far and it is such a beautiful city. What amazing city would be complete without it's characters and creeps? Being back I'm reminded of just how "quirky" P-town is and how much I love it that way.
One of my favorite "characters" I recently met while filling out job applications at Pudding on the Rice. I went in for a snack and sat at a little table next to a mom and her two boys while I caught up on paperwork. After the older kid scarfed down his rice pudding that, oddly enough, tasted "like CANDY!!!!" it was time for them to get going. While Mom was cleaning up the younger one and getting the stroller ready, little big brother came right up to my table and quite seriously exclaimed "Guess what? I have glow-in-the-dark underwear!" He continued to explain how cool his underwear was and the detailed pictures that really did glow-in-the-dark but, unfortunately I lost focus after that first line. At this point, I was just trying to keep a straight face to look like I understood the serious awesomeness of his undergarments and that they were no laughing matter. Wow. I want some.
