Well well. A lot of bandwagon hopping and swapping and we have week three. I once again may not have a lot to add for the various games, as I was driving back from Minnesota at the time. I listened to the entire Bears game on the radio (which was in and out, which made …
Bringing the Troops Home
Okay, one more political thought. I’m getting a little tired of the “We have to bring the troops home” thing. Though I appreciate Cindy Sheehan (though I’m getting more and more irritated by her Diane Rehm/angry grandmother speeches) and her enthusiasm, we cannot pull out of Iraq now. I was against this war from the …
Military Involvement
I heard Bush issue a statement yesterday saying that he may push for the military to be more involved in emergency management (I suppose mainly because FEMA has been such a joke). Now I’m not suggesting his intentions are bad, but is that just a little too Nazi-esque for you? So now when a hurricane …
Back in the Saddle
Well, I’m back and am hip deep in email (naturally). I drove back through Chicago, and my trip home took about 10 hours and 10 minutes, which is actually exactly what Mapquest said it would be. Weird. I’ll have some photos later, but I didn’t bring my camera to work with me. I also played …
Getting to the End
Since switching temporary homes, I have not slept alone. Here’s a picture (albeit a bad one) of my bedtime companion: Ophelia – your breaking my heart This is Ophelia, Jessie and Karl’s black cat, who is super cuddily and has joined me for “cuddle time” every night when I’ve gone to bed. Well today went …
Murray’s
Pardon the quality of these images, but I found this fascinating. So there’s this place called Murray’s right in downtown Minneapolis, that is literally like an old 50’s bar-of-soap looking building that is right in between the skyscrapers. So here’s Murrays (above), and here’s what it looks like directly above Murray’s: I found it fascinating.
The Exorcism of the Minneapolis Impound Lot
Spent most of the day today in downtown Minneapolis, where there’s a farmer’s market going on. I don’t really have anything more to add about that, I just felt I should mentione it. Also, there was this guy: Oh yeah, hot stuff. I know plaid with plaid is no good, but plaid and purple camoflauge? …
365 days of f-you
So random encounter I just had about 2 hours ago. This girl sitting at the coffee shop one booth over from me, turns to me and asks “I’m doing a project called 365 days of f*** you. Would you mind if I took a picture of you flipping me off?” So I said “umm, okay,” …

Some Minnesota Trip Pictures
The most important stop to make in Chicago. And the next most important stop. This was my first time to IKEA, so Brian and Marcia took me on the tour. You can’t get a picture with much more blue than that. Oh wait, yes you can. I got a really sweet desk and three lamps. …
