It's the last day of October, and the beginning of Portland rainy season, too, if the weather today is any indication.
Jessica arrives from Colorado tonight, with her Halloween costume in her suitcase (which she is not checking because she is a savvy travel gal! go Jess!) - we'll head over to Lauren's for the pre-party and then ... plans are still up in the air. I'll post photos of my totally original, totally Portland, not entirely comfortable costume this weekend, in between showing Jessica around this awesome town and working on the paper that's due next week.

also, this was on the back of my starbucks cup today and i liked it:
The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say "no" - they may not be smart enough to say "yes."
