I'm getting around to updating my Flickr stuff... in the meantime, here's a pic from our Water Main Day back in February. With a free day off from work, there's nothing else to do but go drink brandy at 11am.

Sunny and warm, but only that "I'm sitting in the sun and there's no breeze" warm. I spent $130 on blueberry bushes today and will plant them tomorrow, then carpet the inbetween with strawberries. Phase like, 0.8 of the garden plan is coming alive!

Now that we have a bigger basement and I figured out that I can plug ALL MY VIDEO GAMES into the TV, I busted out the ol' metal DDR pad to see if I still had moves ( Read more... )

As of ~6pm today, I possess keys for a house.

I know this:

The owner died about a week ago, and I'd really wanted to meet him.

Outside: 92 (well, earlier)
Inside: 80
Basement: 67.5

Nice.

Last night: Dante's to see (not necessarily in this order) fire eating, glass eating, bug eating, and various other cyrkus actz. There are some places that are just a little too cool for us, as evidenced by Zoe trying to order a "Napalm Beach" beer only to find out that Napalm Beach is a band whose sticker was on a Terminal Gravity IPA tap ( Read more... )

One last trip up to Bellevue last week - I watched TV and commercials and while it's nice to hear the counter-Fox News ramblings of MSNBC, they're just another facet of the same problem. However, watching bowling tournaments from 7 years ago while working out was pretty amusing, espeically when in the championship match these two guys went all ( Read more... )

Note to self: after not running anywhere for A Long Time (read: 6 months - 1 year), running 2+ miles on the beach, walking around Newport, then playing a 3 hour gig in a barn in BFE, Oregon, will result in very stiff leg muscles. I was at the point where simply standing up/sitting down were painful and wasn't in top form on the bike ride into work ( Read more... )
