Time to be nice to the people you can't stand!

I'm on break, and you know what that means?

That's right! A blog update with pictures of random stuff I took with my phone!



I felt like removing my 24" SD TV and all the stereo equipment.


Here's Dallas, right as I came back from the MFF 2006


More cloud shots.


In typical southern fashion, you've got to do everything your self!


And even more cloud shots.


Holy crap! It froze over, and then snowed! In Texas!


Didn't last long. Thanks to the almighty power of the sun. (Earth's closest star, FYI)





About that missing 24" TV and crap.














Yeah! Baby! 56" 1080p DLP FTW!

It's like your there, man!

I'm also saving my money ( /looks at TV, "hahahahahahaha!") for maybe quite possibly going to The Burning Man next year. I'm not sure what kind of hell I'm about to put my self through, but if nothing else I'll have some crazy subjects to photograph.

There is also talks among my inner-circle for a trip to Japan year after next. (Not my idea this time! Honest!) If it does indeed go down, I'll be sure to stay for a few weeks, rather than just a few days. (And get outside Tokyo for a stretch.)

A few weeks ago when a fellow Silly Hatter, escaped_monkey, asked to use this picture for a "British Magazine" I just new he was up to a random silly, and most certainly demeaning, e-prank of some kind. Naturally I was all for it, however, to my most pleasant surprise, when my requirement of a picture of the page was met, I was floored by the awesome truth of it all.

Behold:

'nuff said.



As an aside, this is the most ever in a single month. Nice!

Ok, so I messed up! I uploaded the wrong sized 'bigs' on that last photo gallery, so refresh it and also enjoy part two, this time in 35mm!

Camping Part One

Camping Part Two


Now that is aside, lemme break things down a bit.

Last weekend I got me a Wii. I've played the new Zelda game enough to know it rocks in a very big way. The controls are clearly tacked on, but it doesn't matter because they work. The game is huge, fun, and well, Zelda. Wii Sports is superb, a shining example of how to use the Wiimote, and how to point out how wickedly out of shape us gamers really are. Boxing is the best, Mike Tyson Punch-Out style; simple to get into, yet difficult to master.

Well, unfortunately I didn't get to bring the Wii with me over the holidays so Thanksgiving in Dexter Mo. went by a little slower for it. The whole week was rather uneventful until I get back into town on Sunday. That's when the crap hits the fan. I won't name names or go into gritty heart-breaking details, but a friend's sister suddenly went into "unexpected" labor. That is, she literally gave birth mere hours after discovering she was preggers in the first place. Completely unbelievable I say, but there it is. Fear not, all parties involved are safe and healthy, if a little shaken and worse for the wear. All the same I still logged in 20 hours of Zelda last week. Score!

Last week blew.

I had no internet for most of the week at home, so I was a bit on the quiet side. To make up for it, I played much Gears of War with my roommate. It is awesome! I also saw the movie picture, "Borat." It was very nice! Some time this week, I plan on seeing the movie picture(s) 007 and The Pick of Destiny

Anyway, after my week on the phone with the crap-tacular Time Warner Road Runner, we all went camping! Once again we headed out to Mission Tejas State Park, where we rented out the 100 man plot. There were four of us. We (Mike and I) drank, and we ate really good Tequila Sauce stakes. They were once again super yummy.

Pictures!

Even though we were 400 miles away from home, and in the middle of the woods, we still somehow managed to be one of the few, the first, the proud, the:



That's right Japan, we finally beat you at Nintendo releases! I'll be done with Zelda when you're just opening your Wii box! Score!
