One of the most awesome things I've ever seen.

Michael Scott. Funny Flasher

Michael Scott being Michael Scott. I dunno, this gif just cracks me up, even without the audio of him.

Funny of the day

I don't know. I'm in a silly mood today. I saw this pic and it made me laugh. I believe it isn't from the United States.

Pugs Rule

Once again, some more evidence that Pugs are the funniest creatures on this planet.
Thanks to Dan for showing me this.

Icy roads........serious business

So I owned myself today. Trying to move my car to a better location besides the previously mentioned and previously shown STEEP ASS driveway I slid my car into a ditch making a right hand turn one block away from my house.

My speed around said turn was 4-7 mph, which apparently is 4-7 mph too fast when there is ice around such a turn. Going into the turn was perfectly dry, it hasn't snowed here since Saturday night. I'm a dumbass. I didn't hit anything. My wheels did contact the soft peat in the embankment a little bit but no damage to anything. I was about 3 feet from a stop sign, that would've sucked.

Garret and Hagan tried to tow me out with Garret's Tundra but they couldn't get any grip at all and could only drag me along the ditch for about 15 yards and not out of it. :-(

So I hear it will be snowing and like 15 degrees tonight. Grrrrrreat. What a nice introduction to a Washington winter. I asked for it thought.

Here are some pics that I snapped so that you can see the retarded angle I'm at. ::sigh::

The spot.

I love taking pictures at the park up on Highland. It's such a great place. I think Vince took some great shots from here when him and Amy visited. This is from that same night. I need to go back there and shoot before I visit SoCal for Xmas. There is a lighted Christmas Tree thing on top of the Space Needle right now.

Let it Snow

It started snowing last night while Garret, his fiance Melissa, Trent and I were eating at Dragonfish . I kept watching the snow fall through the windows while enjoying my poke roll. It'd been a while since I've seen actual snow fall. I think the last time was when I was in Norman, OK eight or nine years ago.

All four of us then proceeded to go see the crapfest of a movie that is known as The Day the Earth Stood Still. I was really excited to see that flick, didn't want to believe the less than favorable reviews and of course ended up disappointed. Nothing else is worth typing about this movie. It should exclusively be reserved for viewing if you are at home sick and there is absolutley nothing on the TV and you happen to stumble upon it on Starz or something. Really, it is the lamest movie I've seen in a theater in I don't know how long.

When Trent and I pulled up I decided to stop in the middle of our steep as the big drop of a rollercoaster driveway without pulling into my normal spot because Stella (my car) was sliding down it and making it a little too uncomfortable for me. I didn't feel like crashing through the garage door or into the house. So it's just sitting there.

I woke up this morning to see the entire driveway covered in snow as well as a nice layer of ice. There is basically no way my car can get out of the steep driveway. Fun. Oh well, it gives me time to catch up on some nerding out on the internet and posting on here for the first time in a while.

Skylines

Our friend Ryan Pratt came into town yesterday so we drove around, had some good pizza and beer and went to some spots in and around the city to take a couple of good pics. It's the first time I used the manual settings on my camera and I thought these couple pics came out great. I thought one was so cool in fact that it is now the default pic at the top of the blog.

This pic is from Alki Beach, you can see the Space Needle on the left and Qwest Field on the right.
This one is from a park in the Queen Anne area of Seattle.

Lulz for the day

Those crazy Japanese.

OMG. Best photo ever.

Two of my favorite things: Pugs and Eames furniture. This just made my day.

Pic of the day

Mommy, I rike blonze.

Favorite photos of the day 8/14

Haha!

That race was my favorite Olympic moment ever. I just love it when the cocky shit-talkers get their comeuppance. Them being French makes it even better to enjoy.

Scratch that. This is way more funny.

Man almost loses his penis from trying to give pleasure to a steel park bench.

God, I love The Office

Will the new season start already? This is one of my favorite scenes ever.

Seattle FTW!

Ok, so this is gonna be the home of my blog in Seattle. I'm very excited and since most of the stuff I'll be talking about and posting in here is new to me, it'll also be new to you! You get to share my journey in the Emerald City. :-) I'm typing this right now from the office of WorldOnePerformance . I've never really tried to keep a blog before, but since I cancelled Myspace back in April I'll be able to waste my time doing this instead of stalking people on there..... jk.

My plan is to update this thing daily with my experiences of getting to know this wonderful city. Of course being a huge foodie I hope to have a lot of postings about restaurants, coffee spots, bars, lounges, etc.. I already saw a cup cake spot that looked so dope, but it was closed.

Today, Dan and I hit up downtown to take a peak into Qwest Field, where the Seahawks play. I'm not a Seahawks fan yet, but my roommates are trying very hard to make me one, I guess I'll come around. One thing I assured them is that there is no way in Hell that I'll ever wear a football jersey! I took a photo from the steps in front of Qwest.


We ate at Elysian Fields across the street from Qwest, I had the Bolognese. And surprisingly, it was quite delicious for brewery-restaurant lunch food. Could this be my Stadium Brewery of Seattle?? I liked how the pasta was of the Orecchiette type which you don't ever really see. It actually goes very well with a meat sauce, when usually a long thin noodle like the ubiquitous spaghetti or linguine would normally fill the role.

We sat near the patio so I could observe the Blue Angels practicing for their demonstrations this weekend at the SeaFair . I'm very excited to check them out. The last time I saw a Blue Angels demo was at FleetWeek 2000 in San Francisco, when I used to live in the Bay.

Since we're on the topic of food right now, I have to mention the cheap and delicious dinner Dan and I had last night at Talarico's in West Seattle. There is nothing like a cold, local-brewed root beer accompanied by a humongous $5 slice of pizza. I ordered a West Side slice which was topped with pepperoni, mushrooms, mozzarella, and marinara. It was the perfect thickness and the sauce really was delish. It's a cool bar atmosphere and the cougar sitting next to Dan (a 7.1292 on my rating scale) was discussing the current state of Major League Baseball with him for quite a while. ::Sigh:: If only I had an encyclopedic knowledge of sports like my friend, I would've been in like Flynn. Oh well, I'll be going to that spot frequently I know it, and maybe i too will have a late-30'something lass to gab with.

Hopefully, we'll be able to go see Step Brothers tonight. I've heard nothing but positive reviews of this movie. If you saw it let me know what you thought of it.
