or see the whole set on flickr

(ps - this entry brought to you by a hell of a lot of hand-coded HTML.  for some reason, firefox gets pissy with LJ.)

Today we hopped a bus to town, and hiked around taking pictures for a few hours.

For some reason, I am having trouble linking the set. Here is the actual link for you to copy and paste --

I only have about half of it documented. The rest is still in the car.

Here is the set. 

Here is a teaser.

Here are the photos. I have a video or two, but I haven't made them upload-ready yet.

I took some pictures of the plants in my front room. 

this article came up on FARK, and in the ensuing gmail discussion, I made this.

I posted pictures of the hawk that's been loitering outside the library for the last three days.

Also, check out tikis_tracts to hear the scriptural message I got on my answering machine.

I don't know why, but I can't stop laughing at this.

This is my work mug.  Note that it is also interactive!  I can play "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" every time I pour a fresh cup of coffee!

The Cincinnati photos are up.  Snazzy video and scanned historical images to follow.  Also a post, once I get settled.  

Good times, good times.

I had a dream last night that one of my friend's cats had kittens or something, and they were giving them away.  So we went over to see the kittens, and they were all pretty much spoken for except for this fucked-up looking, crosseyed, pathetic little guy.  So I adopted him.  

Here is a rough estimate of my dream-kitten:



Note - the one I pictured was just a little bit more... off.  But still cute as hell. 

Also note - we used to have a couch like that, in the early 80s.  I kinda dig it.

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this post. Also, pass it along in your own journal because it's more amusing that way.

Now check out my album:

 

I'm suddenly feeling very christmas-y. 



Just sayin'.



**editor's note**   Sadly, i did not take this picture.  I merely stole it.

Let me humbly introduce you to ihasahotdog.com.

 

loldogs are funny dog pictures!

Oh, hahahahaha, by the way, check this out.

buffalo seemed to be a theme this weekend.



if you're intrigued, you can see the rest of my south park pictures here

Too many to embed; see them here.

I'm starting to see signs that I'm entering an intense Metal phase.  I don't know whether to be disturbed  =8 (  or Disturbed   >8D  .

It all started with Ozzy, who is a god among men and a pathetic fucked up individual all at the same time.  Then I chose my halloween costume (expect pictures to my flickr around Sunday).   This morning I delved into Ozzy's guitarist and handpicked honorary son, Zakk Wylde.  (Also frontman for Black Label Society.)  OMGWTF so goddamn awesome. 


Remember, I am a Yinzer.  A lot of this comes to me honestly through my dad.



 Still, do not try this at home unless you are a qualified professional, or you'll probably think it sucks wombat balls and start passionately hating me.  If your ears start to bleed, or you develop a case of Headbanger's Whiplash, discontinue use and contact your doctor.


So anyway, just a few minutes ago, I realized we had none of our Marilyn Manson on the computer, no Tool, nor Metallica, and only one Primus and two Nine Inch Nails.  And the boy and I being teenagers when we were, we own quite a lot of this shit in hardcopy.  (Okay, only the good Metallica album, before they went all Digital Rights Management on our asses and started to suck.)  But beyond that -- Iron Maiden and Motorhead and Judas Priest and even Slipknot and Lamb of God -- of these things I know little.  Regardless, I can't believe what we do have is not already in the digital library, quivering to be added to the mp3 player.  So this is my project for the evening.  (That and putting a hurting on our beer supply.  Thursday is my Friday -- it's a celebration, bitches.)

At any rate,  the 10-day forecast predicts massive amounts of  \m/  >8D  \m/  and an outside chance of RAAAAAAA.  You have been warned.
