fairdig: photo c/o Quimby’s Today is Alex Wrekk’s birthday! Here is what I have to say about her. She is talented. Her writing is excellent. Just one example… I’ve been composing some thoughts about the link between love and writing (and how sometimes they’re one and the same), so one of my current favorite passages of hers comes from her contribution to the collaborative ZINE CRUSH #2… You are dangerous like a stationery store. She is prolific and active. 30 issues of BRAINSCAN in 15 years! And keeping up with updated editions of STOLEN SHARPIE REVOLUTION… and keeping up with buttons, blogging, Portland Zine Symposium organizing… and so on and so forth. She is supportive. The first time I interacted with Alex was to send a note about how much I appreciated STOLEN SHARPIE REVOLUTION and how helpful and inspirational it was for FAIR DIG. Her reply was very encouraging. I know I am merely one of many who could share a similar anecdote, and her call to action every year for International Zine Month helps strengthen bonds within the zine community. She is strong and she is smart. Simply put, do not try to bullshit Alex Wrekk.  She is kind. I have only had the pleasure of Alex’s company on a handful of occasions, specifically around L.A. Zine Fest 2013, but she immediately made me feel like I was reuniting with an old friend. Maybe it’s partly that thing where when you follow someone’s work, you feel like you already know them before you meet in person. But it’s mostly how nice, engaging, fun, and funny she is.  Alex, may this birthday be everything you want… here’s to many happy years and birthdays to come. One of the nicest things anyone has ever written about me!

Today is Alex Wrekk’s birthday! Here is what I have to say about her.

happy Happy birthday to me!

 Dealing with this eye stuff has been rough. I went back in a day before my check up because the blurriness has spread to the inside of my left eye. They say the pressure is down but there is still some inflammation. Seriously, but an eye drop in every hour for over a week is getting really old.

Last night was the zine symposium fundraiser bike-in movie at the IPRC. Things went well and we had a good turn out. We also made a good chunk of change, so that’s good. Jerianne has been out of town with her family so I have had her car and have been able to run a lot of errands like go to the eye doctor and go to Staples. We got some paper for the Copy Scams 10”. We hope to get that out this summer.

My mom is at the Riverhouse for the summer and is coming down to take me to lunch. I’m hoping I can convince her to take me bra shopping because I’m excited about some of the stuff that the Pencil Test has right now. I also realized that I don’t even own a black bra anymore! I used to only be able to find black, white, or (white people) nude bras that fit me. Totally stoked that I get to find new ones with cute prints and colors. Maybe I should have a black bra? I was also thinking of getting a strapless or maybe an actual fitted swimsuit. I can’t imagine what a real fitted swimsuit would feel like!

Later Paul and I are going to eat at Natural Selection, a fancy veg/an restaurant with a 4 course prix fixe and an accompanying wine flight. yum!

Miss Utah Fixed All Of Our Nation’s Problems In One Rambling Speech Last Night

Oh no, Miss Utah. Just stop. Please.

Oh dear…

Someone needed to create her education better before letting her get up there and speak in public.

Ah, the state I had most of my education in. I think my brain melted. I can’t even watch shows where the premise is humor that makes you embarrassed, this was real life!

I was born on Father’s Day…

I think that’s gift enough, don’t you?

For being a gun toting, fishing, hunting, Texan my dad’s pretty rad. He loves his two vegan daughters and will even eat tofu for us. It’s not like he had much of a choice with all the weird stuff he had us eat while we were growing up. Also, He still kisses me on the cheek and tells me that he’s proud of me.  He’s still a baby boomer fixer dude so when he fully understood the extent of the emotional abuse in my relationship with Joe he was immediately supportive and then sent me lots of e-mails about divorce in Oregon and loaned me money to get a good attorney.

I don’t know how my parents have stayed together for 40 years, but it seems to work for them and I love them both very much.

If your Dad had a blog, what would he blog about?

Bible verses.

fishing and the bad kids at his job

How much of a disappointment I am

Golf, westerns, hunting and star trek

he’d just be a giant troll

racing and his baby (mustang gt) and complaining about the tech n00bs at work who are beneath him

bible verses and MRA shit

Fishing and pipelines. Not sure if his spoken phrase “let me put it this way” would work its way into text, but I think it should.

I had irisitis a few months ago. Thankfully I just had a couple weeks of a steroid eyedrop (which tasted really bad after I put it in my eye) and then it was all better.
I’ve got two gross tasting eyedrops but I’m feeling better. It’s just weird because I have never had any problems and this is apparently often associated autoimmune things. Having real insurance is good but after years of not having it, I find it all confusing.
