So, when I'm bored at work I sometimes look up a random city and see what types of homes are for sale there. Today, my city was Portland, Oregon. People, I want to live there. Badly. Now the only thing I need is about a billion dollars (Portland appears to be pricey) to move my friends and family with me.

The Contemporary One (late 1970s, early 1980s flavor)

The House on a Hill

The Duplex

And then, just for kicks, some European abodes:

Outside of Stockholm: little & cute. And cheap? If the price is listed in Euros, wr're talking $52,018.50. Not bad.

France, gorgeous farmhouse that I must have. Costs a little bit more. Like $631,987.40.

And I've also been sewing recently. I'm going to post pictures for all to see just as soon as I can round everything up and get the camera going. My goal this year is to make all Christmas presents for friends & family. Which is why I'm starting now.

And just so you know: Wilco's Sky Blue Sky is amazing. I love it.

So I've found another website that is a total time-suck. (but such fun!) You can put together outfits/collages on Polyvore. Mmm. Clothes. My ensembles, below:

This weekend, D and I began watching season one of Heroes. (Finally - A brought it over for me to watch when I was on bed rest before the debut of Midget 2.0) And I am addicted. Not only does the show completely suck you in, but you get some serious eye candy with it. My top pick: Mohinder Suresh (that's him right there). One of the other attractions is his (character's) accent: a British-Indian mix. (listen here)
