Portlandia
So, I haven't quite figured out the picasa photo storage question, so the pictures of Christmas, the girls dance recital, and Kennedy's birthday this last week will have to wait until I want to put some brain power into researching it. Until then, I'm spending my spare moments researching everything ENGLAND! I'm going to England in March to visit to friends, a bridesmaid, Erin (in London), and my maid of honor, Sheri (in Cambridge), and their children and all the lovely sites I've been reading about/drooling over in Jane Austen books and movies.
So I really need to figure out the photo storage question by then, cause I just got a new memory card for my camera that holds 4300 pictures! Who-rah!
So, we don't have tv or cable, but I heard on the radio that Fred Armesen of SNL is pitching a show called "Portlandia." So I looked it up on HULU, and yes, it's about quirky Portland. It's funny in that I live here and we have these types of "characters" all over town. And, yes, the bit about the pedigree of the chicken they were going to eat was humorous. But what I liked about it the most (not that I loved the show, more like humored it and probably will never watch it again) was the lighting. It was filmed here, so they got the locations exactly right, but the lighting in the stores, and outside was perfect. We may be overcast and rainy a lot, but there's a lovely glow from the sun in the evenings. Not like the blaring sun of LA. I always thought that was fake until I went to CA.
Anywho, here's a clip is you want to see Portland exaggerated.
