There are a few things in this world that make me feel out of balance. One of them is lack of woods time the other is lack of culture. I managed to remedy both symptoms this weekend in two fell swoops.

I went and saw Oya: Call The Storm last night at the Milagro Theatre and enjoyed myself. The performers were amazing physical actors and the woman who played Oya seemed to embody the spirit of Oya. I understood the actors when they spoke Spanish and was pleased with myself. I planned to go to a nice wine bar after the show but my morning workout caught up with me so I went home and crashed. I sat next to a man who was a cross between Crispin Glover and Ira Glass. He and his hipster girlfriend had an animated discussion about a mutual friend and at one point he said, "If she and kitten were in an epic battle the kitten would win."

Yeah.

So today I had to work AGAIN but I made up for it by going on a hike after work. I went to Lacamas Trail and hiked for about an hour. The trail was PACKED with people and dogs but I managed to get out of there feeling whole again. A film crew was there shooting by the river. I gawked but only for a minute. The costumes were nice.

I am whole again and just in time to distribute 8.9 billion newsletters. But before I do that I get to go see baby Hazel tomorrow. Wooot!!!
