Sour Particles

How easy is pie though? Pretty easy. After you give blood have some pie!

Watching the bag fill... You sould try it.

Yummy in my tummy, I am in heaven.

I probably shouldn't apply for a job here.

I like the plates.

But this salad seems pretty big, especially considering the size of everyone elses food. All of the other salads were half as big.

Not sure if I still want to eat here...

Seals just lay in the sun all day. How can they get so fat without moving or hunting?

I'm running out things to say when I put these photos up. Give blood! And spay or neuter your pet!

Normally I would let the rabbits maul me if I didn't see this sign.

Not going to be a problem for me, I prefer real sushi.

Sushi is good here, but its better with beer and sake.

Two and half hours, about a quarter done.

Still nobody going to donate blood with me yet again, I am a failure still I guess. One day I will seduce someone in to joining me though, one day.

Photoshoot

Once again it has been way too long since my last encounter with some decent sushi. Can't go wrong with some raw slabs of tuna sashimi either.

Regularly priced at over two dollars, who could turn down cookies at a price like this!

Tasty treat here on the island.

But no such luck this time, I still have not got anyone to donate blood with me.

Seafood fresh from the ocean just a few steps away. Anchor Steam fresh from the brewey right here too.

One of eight aisles, in one of six rooms in one of something like more than you can count, I am lost and cannot find the exit. Please come find me.

Peaceful? Lonely? Magestic? I'm not sure, but its tiring at least.

This brewery has been brewing beer for over 370 years, pretty cool. Not quite as long as some of the others though.

Spaten Munich Opimator. Brewed exclusively from Alpine water, barley, malt, hops and yeast, according to the famous Reinheitsgebot (Purity Law) of 1516.

Cut a lime into 8 pieces. Pour some good sugar, I like Sugar in the Raw Brand (Turbinado) in the glass with the lime and crush. Add 1.5 ounces of cachaca (Distilled cane sugar from Brazil, not run of the mill Rum) and some crushed ice. Drink through a straw.

Brewing beer since 1040.

It wasn't me, but I'm not exposing who it was.

It's that time again, still no people who want to join me.

Small part of the fire on the side of the road before you get in to the thick smoke. Now for some lunch.

What a deal! Just what I need, Ten banana slicers! And when I buy that many the price is only ten dollars!

Blanco Tequila, Chambord, Cointreau, Orange Juice, Lime Juice.

Federal regulations or not it will be a long flight.

Fasten Seat Belt While Seated

I am too lazy to wait for the full sunset.

I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Nobody has taken me up on my free beer if you donate blood with me offer yet.

Yo ho?

It is quite hot out.

First up is the Maltese Bluefin Tuna, Japanese Setsuki Mackeral. Next is Sea Scallop Sauteed with Oyster Mushrooms. Then Crisp Niman Ranch Pork "Confit" with fresh corn polenta. Then Kobe Wagyu beef served rare. Then some desert, they just took my menu, so I didn't have time to finish reading what they are bringing out.

Here is a quote,"Each swallow works hard to be a perfect pilot-provider-builder-trainer-teacher-lover-mate, no half true hate! So each day like a bird, perfect thyself first! Have courage and smile my friend. Think and act 10 years ahead! And the man without fault? He's dead! Do one thing at a time, work hard! Get done!" And it keeps going, that's only a small fraction of the stuff written on the label.

As far as the soap goes, I like the peppermint cool burn it has, and it isn't a harsh soap. It does seem to make the water bead off my skin after a certain point during my shower, so I use a normal body wash every few showers, because I'm paranoid of some kind of oil buildup.

Ingredients: Water, Saponified Organic Coconut & Organic Olive Oils (w/ Retained Glycerin), Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Peppermint Oil, Organic Mentha Arvensis, Citric Acid and Vitamin E.

If anyone has any opinions or facts regarding its cleansing abilities, let me know. Or if you are interested in it, visit their website.

Dontate some blood.

House speciality drink. Taste some banana and cocoa and some whipped cream.

Got a bit too much sun this weekend.

Funny Green Light

Made it.

Give a pint of blood and i'll buy you a pint of Guinness next time I see you. Or if you don't like Guinness perhaps another beverage.

We made an emergency run to the grocery store a few minutes before it closed. Picked up two things of Girl Scout Cookie ice cream. Had a bowl of thin mint first, and then a bowl of Samoa. I can't decide which is the best, the Samoa was pretty awesome, but usually I'm a Thin Mint guy. Oh I finished the growler too.

Okay this might not look like anything, but it is actually a porcupine that was in the street in front of our house.

Stupid Aria killed him.

What if it crashes or loses track of your information or just stops responding for a day?

Man I am so stuffed, maybe it was the pizza earlier.

I love this stuff.

I can't find anything to post a photo of up here...

I guess a small airplane just made a safe landing on southbound 680 freeway. I took a quick photo as I passed in the northbound lane, I don't like rubberneckers but I was stopped and didn't even waste time with a good shot.

The copyright on the Atari cartridge is 1978 (pre-me), and 1989 on the original Gameboy. I used to look to the Dial-A-Pirate for guidance in my early years. I didn't want to pull out the wood grain Atari 2600 or the copy of Gato (Spectrum HoloByte) copyrighted 1983.

I sped up the process, set the starting point to be slightly before an image of Butters that was converted to 64x64 8-bit grayscale. But I think it demonstrates the possibilities that even a small colorless image can have. The downside is that it still is a huge amount of possibilities to have a human check each frame. Finding a way to fast forward only enough that it doesn't skip potential images but also helps us make it to those images in the first place is what needs to be researched next. Oh well, it was just my project for the evening, it will wait, until the next time I'm bored. If you want to help contribute by checking images, here is the link.

I guess when you put that much work in to putting the lights up, you don't really want to take them down Christmas day.

Now everything is better, I can sleep peacefully tonight.

I was happy to to just have the souffle rise up in the oven. Even if it just made it that far along, I would have been proud of it. I made it with: butter, cream cheese, chocolate, cream, eggs, Grand Marnier, sugar and water. It didn't taste too bad to me, and people said it actually tasted good. But, you never know if they just bit the bullet and ate it even though it tasted atrocious. At any rate I don't think souffles are my thing, at least to eat, but they are fun to make. Oh, Christmas was fun, wet but fun.

Man, I am really full. Best thing was the mashed potatoes with extra butter.

Finished it. Time to relax for a second.

Almost done with it!

They said it was the strongest drink here, but it tastes pretty damn good.

Going out to dinner and a movie I think.

You will never be scared in our hallways.

Had some good food, had some good times...

Has there ever been a study on how long after removal from the dryer a pile of clean clothes will retain heat at its core? Last night I removed some clothes from the dryer after hearing the buzzer. I placed the clean pile of textiles on my bed. Later that night when I got around to moving the pile, the core of it was still heated. It is simply amazing and the possibilities are endless. We could power our homes and even our clothes dryers with the heat given off by the core. Not only is it free and clean energy, it also is a really nice place to put your cold feet in the winter. I will keep you posted on my progress in this great scientific endeavor.

Each year it seems like stores put up the stuff for each holiday earlier and earlier.

But Still Funny.

Now it is time for a nap.

Yum

600MHZ and 128 megabytes of RAM, just be glad this site isn't hosted on that badboy. (by the way, the server is running in the photo)

The sign says "Most Livable City" but in the summer it gets really hot there, too hot for me to spend more than a few seconds outside without strapping a block of ice to my back. Other than the summer though, the weather there is pretty "livable" and today it was nice and warm.

I was bored, so I decided to setup a webserver with a photo gallery and one of these "blog" things, I don't think I am the type to actually publish everything that happens in my life and my feelings on the internet, but I will give it a shot. I will post later for real, if I feel like it, so there's a chance this place will remain unchanged with no posting for months, you will just have to check back here periodically to see if I got bored enough to add posts...
