You know Manatee loves to party – so he was more than happy to hang out with Baby Sour and I this weekend as we cheered on Rose City at WFTDA Playoffs. (Baby Sour just cheered. He didn’t watch. He’s just a baby.) Manatee’s favorite player is obviously Scylla Devourer. Because he loves the sea. […]

If ya’ll have been poking around the site, you know that I started my roller derby career with the Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls. I’m one of those rare Portland natives (okay, I grew up in Beaverton), but when my husband and I got married, he was in a doctoral program at Indiana University. Of the two […]

Hey guys! You watched that Rose City vs. London game, right? What did you think? I got to go to this bout because Chrome Molly is super nice and gave me her extra spot. Thanks Chrome! This “closed” bout had a limited number of attendees for permitting reasons, so they let people in based on […]
Manatee Monday: Happy Spring!

I love Spring. Even if it’s a little cold or dreary, spring flowers bring me hope of warm weather to come. Wait, is there someone back there? Hi, Manatee! Don’t eat that, please. ***** Hi, new readers! We usually talk about roller derby here, but Monday is reserved for manatees. Why? Because I […]
Manatee Monday: Taking a manatee to the zoo
Posted in Manatees, My super fun activities, tagged Manatee Monday, nature, Portland, shenanigans on March 4, 2013 | 3 Comments »
Ever since the baby elephant was born at the Oregon Zoo, we knew we had to take Manatee to go see her. Manatees and elephants are related, you know, so Manatee and Lily are practically cousins. We’re excited to go see a baby elephant! Of course, since we were there, we needed to see […]

Welcome to the inaugural Frisky Power Rankings, where I rank women’s flat track roller derby according to my whims/in-depth knowledge. Gotham. Shut up, Gotham, we already know. Rose City Wheels of Justice. The teenagers are looking really good. (That came out wrong.) Rose City Break Neck Betties, but only when I bench coach them by […]
Manatee Monday: False Spring
Posted in Manatees, tagged Manatee Monday, Portland on February 18, 2013 |
When you live in Portland, you really have to love an appreciate the handful of warm, sunny days you get in February, March, April, May, and June. Our poor manatee friend has been cooped up in the house all winter long. You can’t take a manatee out in the cold due to the possibility of […]

Hey, it’s Friday, whooo! It’s gorgeous in Portland, Oregon – sunny and 70-something, and forecasted to stay that way through the weekend. We get these lovely early October days a lot. They seem like Mother Nature’s way of saying, “Hey, sorry about June.” I’m not quite sure what to rock out to this afternoon. Here’s […]
Manatee Monday: Road trip!
Posted in Manatees, My super fun activities, tagged manatees, nature, Oregon, porcupines, Portland, whales on September 3, 2012 |
For months I’ve been hearing about these summer resident whales on the Oregon Coast: there are so many this year! They come in so close to the beach to feed, they’re like, RIGHT THERE, etc. Last weekend we didn’t have one thing planned on Sunday, so we drove off to the coast to try to […]
