Hood River, OR – Windsurfing

It’s getting to be close to the time where I will be venturing up north again to Hood River OR. This time for my Sisters Wedding - HURRAY! I am pleased to say that a wedding is in order cause how could the end of the Summer be any better than that?

Last year  when I was there it wasn’t so great of circumstances, but I made the best of it. My dad had passed away and despite not being able to see him I spent 4 days toodling around taking pictures and visiting sites that made me happy and feel good.

We have to realize that as much as death hurts it important to remember the good things and focus on them. Seeing this girl paddling her dog around totally made the day! 

All my photos can be viewed at my flikr site! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sireneflux/sets/72157617107804762/

Hood River really is a lovely town nesltled on East side of Mount Hood. It has grown tremendously over the years from when my sister Michelle first moved there. It’s somewhat of a resort town now as Windsufers come from all over the world to practice.

Buy T-Shirts to help support re-erecting the Hung Far Low sign.

I spent alot of time at “Hung Far Low” in Portland’s China Town in my late teens and 20’s. Located in the center of Downtown NW district it serves as a continually cool place to go prior to or  inbetween other activities. I admit I spent most of the time at the bar back then and honestly don’t remember eating much of the food; however, it was always busy with people eating so it could not have been bad? I think of it as the watering hole for alot kids who were out  or are out now for a night of clubbing!  It is a true Landmark that houses alot of great memories for Portlanders and needs to be recognized as such!

I’m purchasing a T-shirt to help raise the money needed ans so should you! Even if you’ve never been there with a name like “Hung Far Low” with a Pander Bros. Design how could you go wrong?

“The Hung Far Low sign was removed in October 2008, when renovators discovered that the 40-foot icon was on the verge of collapse thanks to rotten anchors and a rusty frame. The last anyone saw of the Portland landmark, it was tucked into a giant sign graveyard in Scappoose, patiently waiting while we Hung Far Low enthusiasts try to drum up the $15,000 needed to bring it back.”

Funniest Thing I’ve Ever Seen!

Dr. Tran – 100% Ice (Part 1of 3) Must watch all three parts!

I’ve watched this a bunch of times now and I swear I can’t stop laughing –  it hurts!  I played it for a friend who could not stand to watch the second or third episode as she said it was  just ” TOO MUCH!”

If you need laugh therapy I suggest these! Thanks to Dr Mangor for passing them along!

El Matador Beach & Desolation Holiday!

Summer Umbrella

Ok, So this weekend I went to the beach with my friends Auriana  Lynn & Sasha. It was amazing! El Matador in Malibu! Triple Scorpio threat! 

I found a nice sandy spot to get some afternoon sun while waiting for friends to arrive. Once they appeared we moved over by the rocks along the wall of cave nooks, but as soon as we set up our picnic we were washed out. Ah well.  We  managed to salvage the hummus. Cherries were a bit sandy but all other snacks were fine. Couldn’t partake in the vino due to heavy beach patrol but just as well.

Aurianna Lynn & Myself after Sea Enema

Aurianna & I did manage to go for a swim in the what I think is  very cold water  for Southern California. It should be more tropical warm water but unfortunatly it is not. Even with a wet suit  I can’t stand it for too long.

We were completely assaulted by the fierce power of the waves and stron undertow; which, gave up both salt water enemas and made me almost loose my bikini bottoms.

How embarassing would that have been? Despite the feeling of being thrown around rag doll style I still came out of the water feeling wonderful and it renewed my love for the ocean!

The hot sun and cold water were truely invigorating!

Me & Sasha

Sahsa was smart in a way for bypassing the oceanic beastlyness that I felt was so amazing. Although I think I will have sand coming out of orrifices for weeks or so it feels like it.

Sad to have to go! I was so exhausted driving home and to no supprise I saw so many acciedents on the way. Looked like the worst day for rear ending i’ve seen in a long time.

 Slow down people!

A triumph of imagination, visual style and black comedy, Gilliam’s 80s sci-fi fantasy is a classic adventure. A hapless clerk tries to save the girl of his dreams and inadvertently becomes an enemy of the state. Breathtaking sets, wild cinematography, and fairy tale themes create a strange and darkly beautiful world. Hilarious supporting roles include Bob Hoskins and Robert DeNiro as rivaling plumbers.
