Odd Pair

The pictures, not the people (From Change.gov):

Why would you choose to put two pictures side by side that are almost complete opposite angles?  And they’re showing just about the exact same moment.  Why not choose the best one?  Silly Obama-Biden staffers…

KTHXBAI

Yes, I really did see this today:

It’s Friday!

Have a drink with me:

Pictures!

I finally got off my behind and went out to take some pictures today. Go here to see the results.

Separated at Birth?

Anyone else think the Portland Trailblazer’s point guard Steve Blake looks a bit like Lucas Black (of Friday Night Lights and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift)? Have a look:

My City

Funny how the right light can make even the most dated of structures look magnificent, eh? I’m reminded of a Hot Hot Heat lyric:

Ugly or pretty, it’s still my city.
Make up your mind and get in or get out!

My Parents Are Okay!

For all of those concerned, I got a call from my mother today. Her and my father are a-okay, safely back home. They drove home this afternoon safe and sound, finally getting back in cell phone service after being without power for days. Her exact words were, “It’s nice to have heat again.”

In other news, I-5 is closed between mile markers 88 and 68, as you can see above. This puts a bit of a damper on the trip to Portland that Kate and I are supposed to be taking on Thursday. But we’re not driving through Yakima. Fuck that. We’re going to take a secret route…shh…don’t tell…

I’ll let you know later in the week if it works out.

A Hammer Should Do The Trick

Well, in relation to my last post, I give you the before and after pictures of fixing the dent. Luckily, not much real damage happened. Just some bent aluminum and a louder DVD drive (but it still works!). I was worried that I’d have to replace the whole chassis, battery, and/or DVD drive, but luckily none of that will need to be done.

Before:

And after:

Sucka!

Jealous yet?

Day 2

Aren’t you jealous?
