Just today we got ramen from a teriyaki place in downtown Seattle. I wonder what genus this meat bowl style falls under.

Man’s madness revealed in children’s coloring.

Airlocks close. Chest cavities, perhaps not.

At a bar in Ballard, the laughs just kept on coming.

Do you mean 100% or 💯?

From experience, you are correct. Growing up, you’re in the holiday shadow and all the relatives give you a birthday/Christmas present that’s exactly the same as your brother’s who gets ANOTHER present for his birthday in May. Any birthday party has a 50% no-show due to illness, even if you schedule for a week later.…

What would you do with the bathtub toys?

Thanks! We’re in an apartment, so it will be a while before any kind of large scale change comes here (the office even changes our lightbulbs with these pin-things, so no LEDs in the fixtures). But stuff like the vampire electronics and the rewards for leaving plugs is doable now.

One question I’ve had for folks who took the leap to solar, and it’s kind of a weird one. Did you consider running wires that were specifically low power for all the electronics in our daily lives? Virtually everything I plug in requires a transformer. I was just wondering if there was any thought to avoiding the…

Can I object to this being labeled Energy Independent/Low Carbon. Yay solar, but it gives low carbon curtains to a brutally polluting house! Let’s add in the miles of asphalt and pipes bringing every convenience to this neighborhood or to a local shopping center as well as the encroachment into sensitive areas that…

I believe that the half-second shot of Mortdecai ringing a bell is the movie’s highlight.

Wouldn’t this theory be exactly the reason to not worry so much about contaminating Mars? Sure, it would be cool to find conclusive evidence that Mars harbored life and/or that the life was related to our own. But having an extra planet seems to be the name of the game here.

A movie so good that they showed an actual actual actual vampire just to have a rhyme for “actual actual actual desire.”

My stance is that Black Friday ought to serve as the hard open to the Christmas music season, unless I’m drunk and in a really weird place and I need to queue up the Nutcracker Suite just so that I might be able to feel once more.

For millennia after the great reservoir drained, there were only the dozen main pillars holding the vast roof as a sky under the sky. A cathedral it was, a place of worship to revere hands that built the place and the water that used to be there.

Space bagpipes get me every damn time.

Without the metaphysics, I am reminded of Rumi’s story of the folks in a dark room with the elephant:

I’m sure a key is around there somewhere.

Remembering how many of those Micro Collection figures got sucked into vacuums, lawn mowers, and children’s windpipes.

I love the Orioles, but after a decade of this crap, they need to back the hell off the Nats. Two teams in the region are a benefit to everyone.
