House warming party

Monday, May 29, 2006
We had part one of our housewarming party on Saturday. I enjoyed myself greatly. Had a BBQ, did some drinking (an infrequent indulgence on my part), played some poker and some Mad Gab. Unfortunately there are no action shots of the evening... but here are a couple of pictures of the aftermath...

Our lawn...

The current state of our lawn. Not a single one with four leaves. DAMN.

Garage floor.

I took this photo at eight ten tonight. So the dusk light makes it look very blue.

We got our garage floor poured today. So I will have a place to put my new BBQ. I say my new BBQ because I will likely be the one cooking on it all the time. "What's that? You want tea? I'll start the BBQ". I digress. This thing is awesome! I couldn't have gotten it without the contributions from my family and friends on my birthday. Thanks guys! I'll cook you up some nice meat slabs next time you come over.

I wanted to put a whole bunch of photos of the inside up at once... However I have decided that I will do it bit by bit as the mood (and then state of the house) strikes me. This is the "Great Room" as Valecraft calls it. We still need end tables to complete the room but we have other priorities for now. People will have to settle for one giant table to put their crap on... As long as they put a coaster under it.

This is the glass block window in our stairwell. It looked cool with a closeup. Sorry. Just imagine the most awesome set of stairs possible. Now tone it down a notch. The most awesome stairs possible were an upgrade we decided we could live without. So we merely have awesome stairs.

Quidam

Sunday, May 21, 2006

Christine, her mom and I went to see Cirque du Soleil: Quidam today. It was very cool. We were three rows away from the stage. Apparently this particular act has been ongoing for twenty years or something. It was very interesting and I'm glad I got to go. There were a couple of acts where they got people out of the audience to participate. It was hilarious. If you ever get a chance I suggest you go.

I wish I had better photos. This was taken with my phone... I managed to get three shots of the stage during the intermission before an usher came and reminded me that we are not allowed to take photos. Cause you know... flashless cameras can distract the performers during the intermission when none of them are on stage and shit...

Cow chicken.

Are you against genetic engineering? Why? Think of all the good it could do. Think of all the rain forest it could save! If we all fully endorse genetic engineering we would make the world a better place. Companies like McDonalds could halve the amount of rain forest that is cut down if they could fit more animal in to the same space.

To that end my friend Curtis and I have come up with a plan to save the rain forest and help companies like McDonalds become profitable again.

I give you Chickow.


This noble beast sweats out rapidly developing chickens. They then live together in the same pasture in a wonderful symbiotic display of man-made nature at it's finest. I'm still working out a way to have the chickens and cows fall apart in to packaged chicken and beef patties when you pull out their spines...
