HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Why do christians always seem to look like this guy:

Like they’re about 1/2 a second away from either killing a room full of people with an uzi, or gibbering drool on themselves?

So yesterday I interviewed for a barback position at Red Cap Garage.

The position is only for weekend nights, Friday & Saturday. So if I get it, you can come abuse me at Boxxes, Red Cap Garage, and Panorama.

Though I may not get it due to switching from my coprorate job to bottom-entry position in tavern service, or if there was a cuter person applying for the position.

It would be a tough job, but good experience if I really want to bartend in the future. It would also be an awesome job while I go back to PSU.

In other news, this Friday is my last day with Fair, Isaac. I’m a free (but broke) man after that.

When people think they have the answer, they usually stop thinking about the question.

I’m posting these because I’m an (attention) slut. Lookit! Perdy. ‘s floral photos have long inspiried me — I found a great use for the closeup feature on our new camera. It allowed me to spoof a photographic technique (that I have no clue what the name is) that has a very small range of focus. Neat stuff, I think.

Anyway, this is my favorite snap, the rest are under the cut.










P.S. IDed the tree as a Flowering Pink Dogwood. I seem to be obsessed.

So long time no update.

I’ve been incommunicado mainly because of City Of Heroes. My friend Rob stayed with us last week and he let me use his account (it is in beta now). Hooked. Damn. I picked it up for myself. B-dawg: Forget middle earth. If’n you wanna MMORPG with us peeps, It’s City of Herores.

Alongside infecting me with COH, Rob also fixed Hansel! THANKS, ROB! As it turns out hansel’s right-front wheel-nut (or something or other) was off, causing the rotor to twist wrong and making with the horrible noises. We first though it would be brake pads, but after removing the wheel, the real culprit showed it’s face. So happy. Before Rob showed up, we thought it was the axle or something expensive. So our beloved hansel is operational again!

Cruising Washington Park in a convertible cabrio with the top down = Summer Long Fun. 😀

Oh, and I officially have my 2 weeks from Fair, Issac. After April 30, I’m a free man. Who wants me?

Oh, I took some interesting pics of our drop-dead-gorgeous tree – anyone wanna see?

OK

Since I am stuck at home having to work (watching a process defragging databases! yawn), we are making cocktails and drinking.

So who out there in LJ land wants to come over and drink?

The partay’s at my place, show up whenever!

C’mon, you know you want to taste my Mai Tai. 😀

drinky!

I am sitting in my yard on a blanket in the sun updating.

Ahhhhh. So Nice.

The lovely posted about our red kitchen, with neat-O pics.

Just thought I’d pimp it.

Wow, what a blast!

and I were off at the 4th annual San Francisco TikiBar crawl.

Much fun was had, much liquor was consumed. Many wonderful people were chatted up, and even a few complete asses were ignored (every group has to have some, eh?).

My Elvis sunglasses were a hit, as was ‘s dress slit that kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. 😉

I’m glad to be home in PDX. We visited for one night in Petaluma with dear friends and found (other than our friends living there) we don’t miss the area at all. Kinda weird/good – only three months and all we could do was be homesick for Portland. I guess we made the right decision in moving here.

I’m back and work has even gotten more demanding, which is really funny: Since I have at least 3 weeks left, perhaps more if they keep me, I am in a unique position to enjoy the stupidity, hubris, and unrealistic expectations of this retarded company. I feel quite bad for my coworkers, though. I hope they can find a better place to work soon before it all implodes.

I’ll see if I can scare up some pictures if anyone is interested.
