Them Thar Hills

Hello Ryan, glad to hear you're well.

Sam's half-birthday today.

Still unemployed.

Was hot today for my bike ride (finally, after months and months of not getting enough miles in, I hit 1K this week). There are also too many hills here.

Studying for SATs. Don't ask.

File Under "Jing!" or "Ka-ring!"

Sammy's swordfight guys. These are actually even smaller in real life.
Sure do look like they're having fun!

Exterminate!

Found this old jpeg of Sam dealing (harshly) with the ants.
Can't find the video clip anymore tho. It's kinda funny, Sam bashing the tiny ants with the massive plastic bat.

Lines from the Library

Supposedly it means something if you draw pictures of windows, but I just like the shapes and lines. Yup, I'm just in it for the lines.

The View from Here

Partly cloudy, with a chance of showers in the morning. Becoming partly sunny later.

I Have Enough Hats Already

Now and forever.

The Future Is Unwritten

Rosco, Stop Eating My Mandolin!

How many times do you get to say that in life?

When you're thin and damp and shoddy just remember that you're in a body

Recent things:
1. Not gonna bother downloading the Harry Potter leak.
2. I remembered a NJ delicacy--the buttered roll! Mmmmm!
3. Worried about my bank. In my first statement they included a promo card that tells me that after I purchase 10 combo meals at Burger King, I get a free one if I use my debit card (that has an ugly picture of me on it).
4. Glad to be out of the bathroom.
5. Kinda wish I was still in Philadelphia. It was a good good trip, though quick.

Man(n), That Was Amazing!

Wow!
The Decemberists with an orchestra? If they ever do this again, and they will in Chicago, like tomorrow, for free, go see them! There was certainly nothing lacking in the songs before, but, man, did they ever sound great with all those other musicians behind them!

Wow! What a magical evening, on every possible level! I don't think anybody can possibly know how happy I was!

Memory Lane

Remember that Guinness Book of World Records dude with the stripey fingernails?

And those fat guys on the two little motorcycles?

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

The pizza's good here, at least.

New look for old everythingnotrelated.com!

Pretty, yes?

Food, Glorious Food!

For most of the last week I was away for some much-needed and much-enjoyed rest and relaxation in the great state of Rhode Island. For most of last week I ate like a king--and a hog. A hog king! You can see a selection of some of the finest delicacies here:

A selection of fine, delicious cheeses, including the now very popular Double Gloucester ("It's from England" "It's like if Velveeta and Cheddar had a lovechild")

Oh! This spinach, bacon, cheese and tomato stack of yumminess was very satisfying!

And then there was that grilled tuna meal! With the perfectly-steamed asparagus!

Mmmmmm...fruits.

Every single jello shot was a lovely slurpy concoction of zingy booziness!

Ah, the forlorn chip station...

Glisteningly delicious, the pasta and bean salad!

Sweet sweet sangria!

Wontons, filled with mushrooms and garlic, topped with brie! Nothing bad there!

And, for reasons unbeknownst to me, the pictures are different sizes even though I did them all at once with the same resizing values. Weird. User error, I'm sure!

You have no idea how good everything was.

Some really really old pages have lost their pictures, since I hosted them at my old ISP. I prolly have them all somewhere and can edit every single post, but wouldn't it be more fun to make new posts?

Yes

It would
