Restaurant attitude

Does seem like something they would put in a japanese restaurant. Or at the Soup Nazi place.

Pink Fluyd

When I saw this I thought:
1) What the hell?!?
2) I wonder how poisonous it is. It sprinkles on nearby people.

Representation

Everything is an accurate representation of itself.

Lilac flower

That's the right color, right?


I think it's pretty.

Made With Real Sugar

Real sugar? Limited time only!

Candle

Candles can last a pretty long time. This little birthday candle lasted over 15 minutes.

Sleeping in my car

That's what I did in NYC to get through the night, a block or two away from the Groumd Zero construction site. It was so cool - in the morning, after deciding to head up north, I simply brought my seat up, put the keys in the ignition, and drove away. No standing up required :)

Fall

Fall is the time for leaves to play around, to mingle, and to dance.

Another unhard design

This design was not too hard either. I did use some material for it this time.

Summer's out for school!

And it shows, with thousands of students walking around campus during lunchtime. Ph.D. comics was right!

I just think this looks cool

For a few seconds, I was so sure that the letters had to be BACKWARDS in the reflection for it to make sense (you know, because our left hand becomes the reflection's right, and etc...)

Craigslist giveaway

Cleaning out the house basement left us with lots of stuff we weren't sure what to do with, so we gave them away. The "free" category on craigslist sure is popular. One post, and a few hours later, responses from at least 10 different people came, in email, phone and text form.
So glad the stuff is getting reused, though.

Coin counter

Coke machine change bin filled up:






Never before in my life had I carried $865.07 entirely in coins on my shoulders. I felt a little like a pirate handling his backpack of golden coins. Argh.











I thought that machine was pretty cool. Seeing it count coins at around $5 per second (and avoiding the 5% non-customer rate at a closer bank) was worth driving 20+ miles for.

Sticky decoration

"Here's your stop violation citation"

Oh well. Most times nothing happens, but once in a while a police car comes driving by from your right side just as you fail to notice it because you're watching your left to make sure there's no immediate collision danger, so you have to brake a little suddenly to avoid bumping onto the police car coming from your right, and the police driver gives you a mean look and stops you a few meters away, very slowly writes up your info and fine details, then hands you a yellow piece of paper that accuses you of having committed an unlawful act. And one of those times could mean you a $109.50 fine, of which only $25 represent the actual violation fine, while the rest seems to be merely overhead.

And I go three days later to the court district judge, and I can't pay my fine because they don't have my citation in the system yet. So I go two days LATER and it's still not in the system. PA traffic police system... get with the times.

Must have been that carrot juice I drank

Unhappy quarter

Poor $0.25 looks unhappy.

I got a haircut
