Paris je t'aime

KMB's going to Paris/Florence in a few weeks, so I am making a list of places for her to go. Ritz helped. By reading this post you are agreeing to bring me back candles (Cire Trudon), tea (Maraige Freres), and scented erasers(!)(Astier de Villatte. )

--This shop looks fucking amazing. You can get the candles here in the US (at Barneys, natch), but that's about it. They make amazing ceramics, print their own paper/stationary, and bet there's french-only candles you can only get at the shop. Also I want a couple of their scented erasers!

--Of course you will go for tea at Mariage Freres. And maybe bring me back decaf tea that you can only get in france, they have better packaging when you buy it there:

This is the first blog post re: my hedonistic Portland vacation. I may have underestimated that place.

Anyway...I finally broke down and bought myself this bracelet by Arielle de Pinto at one of my favorite shops Stand Up Comedy. It is fucking amazing and I can't wait to link it to some other chain to make a necklace AND wear it as a ring.

LA poopoo

Hanging out with Wifey, drinking a beer for breakfast...

Despite a ridiculous delay at SFO yesterday, my LA vacation is already fantastic. Ritz took me straight from the airport to Tito's tacos, then back to her place to hang out with Felix the cat. Dinner, then home to sleep til, well, now (2pm). Now bloggin in my underwear drinking an Asahi, text-making plans for a suburban pool party at Sarai's parent's house. Once i finish my beer we're going to pinkberry for lunch, then shopping at Kiki de Montparnasse and Coco de Mer because, well, I can.

Anyway, I have the internets at my fingertips so I'll update everyone on all the stupid shit we do this weekend.

4th of July weekend

Megan and I are planning an epic July 4th road trip weekend. So far our plans include Marine World, Skee ball at Scandia(!), Grandpa Foft's 90th birthday, thirfting in Reno, and uh, lots of drinking (I'm hoping my mom with be our designated driver). And I just realized I bet there'll be fireworks at some point which makes my heart swell with American Pride. fuck yeah!

Who wants to go to Mexico?

When I get to work tomorrow I'm going to find the cheapest flight and hotel and if i can make it happen for less than $200 for a weekend I am going in June and you should come too.

I think at this point hotels should be paying us to stay there?

I do not remember this AT ALL.

Email from tiny wifey:

Also, thought i'd tell you cause I was dying.... you know what you asked Eug's friends from France when you walked out of the bar?

Eug: Jess, this is Vassilli, Vass, this is Jess
Jess: Hi, nice to meet you (shake hands)
Vass: Hi, nice to meet you
Jess: How do you say Vagina in French?
