Jeez, come back from vacation to find Shannon’s latest post: “some gal on myspace.com contacted me. offered me a free silver bullet. how could i refuse?” You’ll have to go read the entire post for context… I just hope Shannon doesn’t think the silver bullet refers to Coors Light…

Memorial weekend in Lincoln City
Our big Memorial Day weekend was spent over on the Oregon coast, chillin’ out in Lincoln City. …I of course mean “chillin’ out” quite literally; it was chilly and windy and rainy on Saturday and Sunday, and finally started getting nice on Monday, when we were leaving. It was in the 50s and maybe low… Continue reading Memorial weekend in Lincoln City
Offline for Memorial Day
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ll be offline for the Memorial Day weekend—through Tuesday, actually. Hopefully everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend!
One billion seconds
There was a site I found the other day (and have subsequently forgotten what it was) that prompted you to enter your birthdate, and it would present you with various facts about your age. You know, what year in the Chinese calendar it was when you were born, what your astrological sign is, etc. etc.… Continue reading One billion seconds
Lost’s season finale book
Haven’t seen a book on Lost in awhile, but they managed to slip one into the season finale tonight: Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens. Not that it was hard to spot; Desmond only waved it around enough in a bunch of critical scenes. As far as the season finale itself goes… I’m still trying… Continue reading Lost’s season finale book
Trojan crumbling
Yeah, I know I’m a little late to the party blogging this, but I thought this was pretty good footage of the Trojan nuclear power plant being destroyed: Trojan implosion on YouTube. There’s not much more to be said on Trojan (check out some of the latest news); I never knew much about the plant,… Continue reading Trojan crumbling
Shannon’s quote this week
I had to wait a bit, but Shannon’s got another quote of the week: “i think i need some higher goals in life like buying a house or putting money away for retirement but for now, i just want to be a dancing bunny.”
10 Commandments… remixed
I’ve been liking the remixed movie trailers I’ve been seeing lately, but this one made me laugh tonight: 10 Things I Hate About Commandments. Someone’s remixed the Charlton Heston movie as a teen comedy… I especially like the surprise addition to the cast at the end. 🙂 Via Boing Boing.
Our trip to Eugene
This is sort of like those “How I spent my summer” essays—did anyone ever really have to write those? Anyway… The main purpose of our day trip to Eugene was to visit one or several of the children’s stores they have over there that specializes in kid beds; our four-year-old is soon to turn five… Continue reading Our trip to Eugene
Eugene day trip tomorrow
Tomorrow we’re off to Eugene for a day trip. We doing some kids bed shopping, and will likely stop at the Steelhead Brewing Company (fodder for The Brew Site) for lunch and beer. Likely it’ll be a decent trip. It’s supposed to be 71 in Eugene tomorrow, so that’s good.
