The first artistic expression that has met its full potential by way of Mac...
I truly believe a picture is worth a thousand words. Of course you have to know what "We Love Katamari" is to know WHY this panel cracks me up, but you don't have to really understand a foreign language to know that it's funny.
I just wanted to share with everyone the monster growth that recently occured on the roof over our deck. One day I happened to look out our upstairs window and said "Woah! That's a monster huge icicle!" Thinking it was the biggest icicle I've had on my home I snapped myself a picture. But as the days went on the thing extended PAST the railing of the deck. That's just a little over 5' long. It lasted for about five days before plumeting to the bushes below.
The scent is called Mac, and it's a fragrance I'm starting to enjoy more and more. I've never been a fan of Macs, and I most likely would never had bought one for myself. But when your very kind mother offers, you can bear a little shrug and "meh, they're alright" and then suffer through the cold-sweat and nail-biting anticipation of the arrival of a brand spanking new 15" Macbook Pro in all its illuminated-keyboard glory. If a machine could ever be considered sexy...
It often seems my life runs parrallel to those of Penny-Arcade. This comic was posted one month prior to the addition of my hi-tech toy family and demonstrates the Oath that I too have declared...
Don't worry PC, you're still number one in my heart...until Macs become Sims compatible.
I don't think I ever really saw a singular snowflake as a kid. I always thought wadding paper up into a ball would be a better impression of snow rather than the ornate cutting job. I never questioned it, though, probably because of the pretty hearts people make for Valentine's Day instead of a more realistic artery lined lump. Our first snow of the year came not too long ago. I'm not crazy about using the word fluffy to describe snow, but a better description fails me. But that's what it was, and only because the temperature was exactly right to allow each flake to fall without merging into it's fellow flakes. I was glad my camera was good enough to zoom in and capture this. The sun melted everything into the usual undefined snow the next day.
We celebrated our 5 year anniversary this weekend in Chicago. And because of this weekend we have decided to celebrate all future anniversaries either at home or in a much warmer climate. We enjoyed a couple different dinners and the Art Museum, but the to's and fro's of our weekend were painfully cold. For anyone who hasn't been, I strongly suggest dinner at the John Hancock building (The Signature Room on the 95th Floor.) It was the first time eithe
r of us had been up there and it was VERY nice. I've seen Chicago from the Sears Tower before, but never at night. Unfortunately we left the camera in the room, but this is almost exactly what the view from our table was (only darker):
The Ferris Wheel was really cool. Lake Michigan was also frozen with a full moon over it. It was quite breath taking, but mostly because I was thinking about how cold it had to be for that much water to be frozen.
