Catch of the Day
Sometimes its embarrassing when I see how much garbage is just floating around my neighborhood and I live in a pretty expensive place. (not my house per say, but others) But that’s nothing compared to the trash that accumulates on our beaches. I don’t know the solution, but I’m pretty sure its time to stop using the ocean as a toilet and garbage disposal. These are a series of ads from the Surfrider Foundation that really get the message home.

I usually make at least two designs for every project. Somehow the one that takes longer never turns out to be the ones I use. This one took twice as long, but didn’t quite work. I still like it.

bezel
It’s the frame of plastic that surrounds a screen, usually referring to an LCD monitor or a phone. It’s one of those words that loses all meaning when you say it in your head enough. Bezel, Bezel, Bezel. (I like to say it like bee-zil, but that’s probably not correct.)

Good luck getting to the innauguartion next week. The DC metrro can barely handle the normal volume of passengers without breaking down all the time. And then, there’s parking….
I got to the Vienna Metro at 8:33 by my car’s clock, which is probably about 8:25 in real time. Both parking garages were full. And not just “oh i just missed the last spot” full. I’m talking about 50 angry people circling the lots in cars looking for some poor sucker to mow down full.
WTF? I think that’s a pretty resonable time to get to the metro, the ride should take about 45 minutes that would put me into work before 9:30, a time when most people who work in an office have to be there. I think the thing that really pisses me off is that they closed down the auxillary parking lot about a year ago, because, I assume that they were going to construct a new garage. But they’ve done nothing in the year since then and now I hear that the garage project has been cancelled because of lack of funds…. ARRRRGGG

Do cats think that we are some kind of giant monkey burn victims? I wonder if that’s when they are so affectionate to us? I just had my cat (Dina) come up next to me, look at me, rub her head on my leg, then walk away. It’s like she’s thinking… Damn… There’s nothing I can do for this one… you be a good boy… oh well I’m gonna go lick myself.

Before I moved out of the house in Vienna the roomates were having a discussion on how many games of Beer Pong have been played at the house. In the interest of statistical accuracy I gave the guys a notebook to keep track of all the games and so was born… The Pong Log.
I moved in with Laurel and came back every once in a while to hang out but I really wasn’t there all that much. I remember being surprized when Jesse said that Greg was dominating all the games, he was always good but not in a 31 game win streak sort of way. So now that they are moving out of the house I decided to put together a little website dedicated to the Log. But in typical Mark fashion I was a little bit grand in the plans and constructed the worlds most complicated, in-depth, and potentially accurate Beer Pong Stats Database EVER. It’s not totally compete, but all the records are up to date and I’ll be adding more stats/records.
Before you get on our case for drinking this much beer. I just want to let you know that they didn’t actually play by the official rules and force the losers… or even the winners, to drink all the cups that were left on the table. I think they actually used water some of the time.
I present…
Later!

Is it just me or does the ped-egg commercial gross you out? They show it taking a thin layer off an orange and then show people scraping off that layer of their feet. Then they show the damn thing dumping out all of the shavings… and it’s a lot of shavings into a trash can.
It’s like you’re zesting your feet!
Doesn’t that dry skin serve some sort of purpose? I’m sure of it!?
