camikaos rocks sxsw… or something

by camikaos on March 14, 2010

Hi babies.  It’s me.  You know… Cami.  Cami Kaos.  This is my blog.  I know I know I’ve been a little absent as of late.  Especially since Thursday but I have a little time for you right now.  That’s just the kind of girl I am, taking time out of my busy SXSW schedule to say hi to all of you!

Hi all of you.  I’ve been having a great time.  Seeing lots of bright smiling faces, learning from some excellent panels, drinking some stuff, eating lots of good food.  Plus happy party time with some of my favorite Portland people.

Last night we stayed out a little late… I seem to remember last call and then wandering back to my hotel and falling fast asleep.  And then?  We slept in.  Late.  And this morning… well actually it was this afternoon by the time we left the hotel, but just barely and just because of the time change, we met up with a couple of friends to grab a bite to eat and as we were just rolling up to the Iron Cactus home of the amazing Mexican Martini (or Margatini as I like to call it) I tripped in a sidewalk pothole and twisted my ankle.

Bam.  Down I went.  Scraped up elbow, banged up knee and completely fucking painfully twisted my ankle.

Look see… it hurts

Oh… you can’t see that?  Well neither can I because I have to keep ice on it because I’m trying to keep the swelling down and the terrible horrible pain at bay.

I wonder how long it will be before the guys let me leave the room…

(PS: Thank you so much to Mike, Rick and Michelle for taking good care of me… and random nice guy on the street that asked if I was okay… I am soooo sorry I was a bitch to you.  I was seriously trying not to pass out and vomit from the pain.)

leaving on a jet plane…

by camikaos on March 11, 2010

To be honest I’m not too well versed with the kind of planes that are jet planes and that aren’t.  Defining of planes is not a strong suit of mine.  Does it really matter what kind of plane I’m flying on?  Are you that superficial.

Look… I’m getting on some sort of aircraft at some point today and flying to Austin.  Okay.

Stop asking me so many questions.  I’m getting on a plane at some point.  And then off.  And then sitting around waiting.  Waiting.  Waiting…….  Before eventually getting on another plane that will at some point get me to Austin so I can go to SXSW!

OMFG!!!

What?

You aren’t excited for me?  Clearly you’re not aware of how much I wanted to go last year but was denied due to poor planning and timing.  Anyway… I have nothing else for you today because I’m traveling.  But maybe if you’re good I’ll post something interesting about my trip soon.

Or just, you know… put up some pictures of me eating BBQ and drinking.

Good with you?

Good with me.

happy being 33 day…

March 9, 2010

Yesterday was my birthday.  My 33rd birthday to be specific and look at that… I let the day go by without a blog post.  Hmmm.  How did that happen?  How did I not remember to mark my special day with a blog post etched indelibly on the face of the internet?
Oh that’s right.  I was [...]

March 1, 2010

This morning when I woke, and yes this is one of those posts that start with me waking up to some amazing realization so try to contain yourself, I was just a little happier than was strictly necessary for any morning let alone 6:30 in the morning on a Monday with the sound of an [...]

long story

February 23, 2010

It was nearly 3 years ago that I decided, not for the first time in my life, to chop off most of my hair.  It’s been long, short and half shaved.  Blond, black, red, white, purple and burgundy.  The one constant with my hair since the age of 14 has been change.
But when I cut [...]

wishing for rain…

February 18, 2010

My mornings start relatively early.  With the blare of my alarm.  A cloud of confused thought as I fall out of a dream.  The stretching of muscles and the cool soft fabric of my sheets on my toes as I reach with them for a part of the bed my skin hasn’t warmed.
Oh and the [...]

the curious timing of K Kaos

February 17, 2010

My child, and I like to assume all the other children in the world do this too as it makes me feel better, only wakes up early when it is least opportune for me.
And on Christmas.
On a normal school day?  Impossible to get her out of bed until 7.  On a Saturday she’s up at [...]

all’s not quiet…

February 15, 2010

I’ve been quiet here.  Not a peep out of me for a week… what has the world come to when Cami Kaos isn’t babbling incessantly?  There’s been too much and not enough and yet I’ve found time to smile and play and live life in a very happy, if cramped sort of way.

I’m hoping you [...]

consumer whore cami gets what she asks for…

February 7, 2010

Last night we ventured downtown in a swirl of Portland mist and setting sun.  We were out on a mission.  An outing.  An adventure.
First and most importantly my daughter had a gift card to an accessories store that had been burning a hole in her pocket since Christmas.  She was in desperate NEED of new [...]
