wow, so much in that one little post! where to start? first, portlandia is more of a sketch comedy, think SNL without the live audience. second, you rode your bike to work!!! damn, girl, you go. and third, you went to tasty n' sons without me? so jealous. . . the sister restaurant, toro bravo, is where we went for our anniversary, where the food makes you want to hug your friends and kiss your lover. :)
