This here was a great family-style Chinese place which was 25 minutes from my home. We loved it. Too bad 5-6 years ago it got "redeveloped" as a mega-bank.  ![[Linked Image from cdn.ipernity.com]](http://cdn.ipernity.com/200/24/32/49102432.c3a5f705.640.jpg) The Pagoda, Portland, Oregon, c1950 par amylsacks, on ipernity

We have a new favorite poke bowl place! I love the spicy salmon/tuna bowl.

Love the building Cleome. Where I'm from, the architecture is well... industrial. There's only so much landscaping you can give a slag heap.

Heh. That postcard makes it looks like they were set out in the country. But I'm pretty sure that even in the 1950s that area was already very urban. Of course, the bank didn't keep anything but a vague blocky outline. I'm pretty sure if I went in, the tiny bridge and garden with the koi pond wouldn't be there anymore either. Bah!

It took me far longer than it should have to recall my password. Ah, well... better late than never.

Charming and peaceful, but in my house this would be labelled "Eve of Destruction".

Hee hee. If you take a close look at the Xmas ball, you can see the photographer, keeping a close watch in case any shenanigans ensue.

Martin Scorsese is wrong about comic book movies. They have taken cinema back to its pop-culture roots, so that the commerce-to-art cycle may happen anew.

We need to go back to the Era when we had real movies, like The Bowery Boys and Hopalong Cassidy!

It's worth noting that the Statler Brothers' "Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott" is basically a complaint on behalf of fans of older franchise and B-movies against the New Hollywood that someone like Scorsese represents.

Just had a basic music lesson from my kid. i asked him how to play the notes between the strings. He looked at me like I had been shot in the head. I explained to him that the book stated it that way. He told me they assume a certain familiarity from anyone using their book. I explained to him that I now have 6 FREAKIN YEARS of bad habits because the musicians couldn't explain a fart in a bag to anyone.
He thought that was both insulting and funny.
If I am buying a BEGINNERS book on something, it means I'm a BEGINNER! Don't ASSUME any fucking thing, you stupid sexual intercoursing cucks.
He that that was funny as well.

Reminds me of many of my Spanish speaking friends. I asked for help practicing my Spanish, they still spoke so quickly I could barely make things out… when they spoke more slowly, I got most of it !
