When I was a teenager of about 14 or 15, my Mom got a SLR for Christmas, which piqued my interest in cameras. I don’t remember exactly which model she had, but I seem to recall it was an Olympus OM-10, but I could be wrong. I know it was an Olympus camera, though. In [...]
Excuse the lateness of this update. I started writing it on March 1 but finished and published it on March 2. When we left work yesterday evening, the start of the soul-crushing love-fest that is our nightly drive home was like any other. The roads were dry, the surface streets were clogged (like they ate [...]
Jesus, will this shit ever stop? Another front came through and dumped even more snow on Western Washington. As a kid I loved snow. But as a vehicle-driving adult, I learned to hate snow. Now, I’m back to kid-like feelings about snow, well, maybe 80% for and 20% against. If it snows in the north [...]
Well, another storm blew into Western Washington, bringing high winds, then snow, now bitter cold. Happy 2007. As I start typing this update, my alarm clock with indoor/outdoor temperature display reads 28°F outside, and it’s the lunch hour. Temperatures are expected to dip into the low teens or single digits over night. Brrr! It’s colder [...]
Alright, enough already! I’m tired of Mother Nature having her way with us… and she’s not even giving us a reach around when she fucks us. First it’s winds, record rain, and snow in November. Now more wind, record wind, in December. We knew there was a big wind storm coming; all the TV weather [...]
I’m a racist bastard. I don’t discriminate against any one race — I hate the human race. That in mind, I’m about to single one race out. I’m not trying to be mean. I’m just ranting… while injecting a bit of humor. If you have a problem with that, use the comments link below, and [...]
Fuck, I hate thinking up titles for blog entries. It’s never a problem when I’m writing about a single subject, but most of my updates recently have been covering multiple topics. So, I thought I would employ some kind of subject trickery, like spammers do, by making up some interesting topic that piques your interest. [...]
Autumn is in the air, and I like it. I snapped this foggy photo with my phone yesterday at 8:00am. The nights are getting much cooler, making for foggy mornings, and yesterday was thick. It gave everything a Sleepy Hollow feel, but burned off by noon. Summer was great, but the record-low rainfall, and all [...]
So, I’ve been getting these sporadic pictures from this hot chick I know in Texas. Is “hot chick” okay to use? I’m not going to offend any uggos, am I? Fuck ‘em… no wait… to hell with ‘em if they take offense. I keep trying to get her to send “better” pictures, but I think [...]
I bought a new cell phone last week. I know, “big fucking deal, Jim.” What can I say, I’m a geek. I love this shit! A while ago, I read on a web page of new gadgets that Cingular was going to be offering the Motorola v635. I liked the features the phone has over [...]
