You Again?
I just ordered a new hard drive. Hopefully that will mean I may actually post something here other than iPhone pictures and lamps that I used to have.
But probably not.
Hmmm… Pt. 2
Have I mentioned that my girlfriend may have a “drop a knife on her hand while doing the dishes” problem?
Big thanks to the Ballard Swedish Medical Center.

I’m f-in’ dying here guys. On one hand, old man Obama is out there telling me to spend my money. That makes sense. If everybody follows his advice, we enhance consumption of goods, and that makes retailers and manufacturers happy and we get all of our jobs back! Unemployment drops to 0%! Woohoo!
But on the other hand, my deep seeded Maine roots are continuing to scream “DON’T BUY!” crazier than Cramer. Anybody that knows me well, knows that I am the ultimate cheapskate. Oddly, I’m the exact opposite of what retailers were facing this past holiday season. People were buying just as much stuff, just as frequently, only they were buying the cheapest options available. I prefer to put off a sizable purchase for as long as it takes to save up for the higher quality option. I think most of this specifically stems from my preperation for bike trip last year.
I’ve been trying though, but maybe my efforts haven’t been very successful.
Good news: I bought new cookware!
Bad news: It’s cast iron and I’m not buying anymore within the next 50 years.
Good news: I bought a $3000 couch!
Bad news: I bought it at Goodwill for $20!
Good news: I bought a jet ski!
Bad news: Wired magazine told me I don’t need a jet ski to fix the economy. Bummer, nevermind.
Maine? Is that you?
This is so Maine, and yet here I am in Washington…Weird.
FrURLSday!!!!
Lots of ground to cover this week!
Glass of Orange – Provides lots of good LOST humor!
Bizkit the Sleep Walking Dog – Courtesy of Shofeldt.
Cube Tap – It Was A Good Day. Less informative than the Grip Rap, but much funnier.
Astin Martin One-77 – Phew, I was getting worried about what I was going to do with the $1.4 million I had lying around.
Ballard Bowl – Meet my new neighbor. More pictures and an animated .gif of a frontside slash are here.
Slice – A pizza blog…ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod
Early Emoticons – Things were so simple in the ’70’s.
Warning: The next few FrURLs are iPhone related. If you don’t have one, don’t read these; you’ll just hate yourself more.
Create Ringtones! – I was skeptical that this would work, but I know how hot ringtones like the Benny Hill and Starblazers themes!
Budget App – Everybody knows that it’s a great idea to keep track of your income, expenses and establish budgets that are broken down into categories. Budget is great for this. I’ve been using it since January and impressed doesn’t even start to describe my feelings for it. Get it, use it. A review on Bright Hub.
Phuck This
OK, I’ve been biting my tongue about the whole Michael Phelps/Kellogg’s debacle, and I can do so no longer. You don’t want the image of a drug user on your cereal box?
UMMMM…..HELLOOO!!!!!!!!
Barack used coke, pot and alcohol during his teen years to “push questions of who I was out of my mind.” Come on Kellogg’s. The only difference between these two men’s drug use is that Barack was smart and told people about it before somebody else did. Phelps got outed and scandal ensued and he was forced into apologizing. Here’s what Phelp’s apology should have looked like:
I really hope that his apology wasn’t sincere at all, because nobody should care. If Kellogg’s hadn’t been the spotlight of the whole deal, would they have lost any business? NO! Nobody fucking cares who’s on their cereal box! (One exception.) The guy already pleaded guilty to one DUI charge (while underage.) What sets a worse example? Alcohol impaired crashes kill roughly 13,000 a year. Marijuana related deaths usually hover around…..0. Then again, Phelps may end up like this guy.
The Other 7 Deadly Sins
8. Pedaling while standing up.
9. Misuse of Dad’s tools.
10. Rhyming “chest” and “breast” in a rap song.
11. Thinking the 3G iPhone is the third generation of iPhone.
12. Buying any milk that isn’t whole milk.
13. Not liking the “Bourne” movies.
14. Not knowing anything about what you are selling on Craigslist.
(Bonus: Not laughing at this.)
Holiday Cheer
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!
I hope everyone got to be where they wanted to be and be with their loved ones today. Safe travel over the next week!
Holiday Travel
One flight down, one to go. I’m sitting in JFK, waiting to get on my flight to Portland. I might actually make it home for Christmas! Now I’m off to find the airport Dunkin’ Donuts!
Bonus: Expect more photo heavy posts, now that I’m a Flickr PRO user! You can all thank Ashlinn for that and this.
