Man life moves fast. Especially when you’re traveling and things are happening. I’m moving in with my girlfriend to a homestead in Oakton. It feels like we’re living in the old west. We’re moving into a house built in 1948, oil heat, septic, well water… our neighbors in their executive mansions have every conveinence know to modern man. I feel like it’s the frontier and we’re the last people who haven’t sold out to the wealthy ranchers. It’s going to be an adventure to say the least.

So I’ve been wondering where my Ipod shuffle has been for a week or two. I figured it was either lost or in my room somewhere. So I “cleaned” up my room, I didn’t find anything. My next thought was that it was in my laundry somewhere, since I hadn’t seen it in a while and conveniently had also not done laundry in some time. I’d actually bought more clothes instead of doing laundry. So where do I find the little Poddington? Staring at me from the open door of the dryer.
I guess this says a lot about Apple’s quality, but the thing still works! I think I got lucky because it had to be dead by the time it went into the washer, I had left it in the “on” position. But it survived that and tumbling around in a hot dryer, the earbuds still work too!

I knew that our Halloween decorations and costume were cool, but now it has been verified by an independent source. Laurel and I have received what amounts to “Honorable Mention” in the Make Magazine Halloween contest. I really didn’t know that I was entering a contest, I just thought I was sharing the photos. But this will go right up there with the 7th grade science fair project “Can Hamsters Predict Earthquakes?” in the Schumaker Honorable Mention Hall Of Fame.
Laurel’s step-mom (making drinks) – “do we have a jigger to measure this out?”
Laurel’s Dad – “I think they prefer to be called jegros.”
Laurel – “Actually I think it’s Jafrican Americans.”
I had such a great time!

Jenn thought that I wasn’t giving her enough artistic attention. So I created this little diddy from some pictures on her MySpace profile. I think it turned out pretty well for what it is?

I don’t know what it is about people on the Metro recently, but they’re becoming more interesting all the time. I wish I had a better camera… and also that it wasn’t considered weird to take pictures of strangers. Because I saw a guy in starbucks the other day who looked just like the kid from “The Boondocks” and a girl on the Metro platform last night that could have been “Rogue” from the X-men, if she was black. She had a white Harry Potter birthmark and a white streak in the front of her hair.
But I digress, the person I want to talk about is this fellow I saw on the way home the other day. He looks like a caricature. If you saw this guy in a serious movie you would think “now that’s over the top, that just totally ruins the reality of it.” I mean come on he looks like a taller version of Wimpy from Popeye!? The fact that he dosen’t have much of a neck makes him look like a giant finger puppet, his head being the thumb. I hope he’s a good guy, I just think he looks like a cartoon.
Later!
