Day 185: Cabinet Keyholes

This is really weird. Not only the fact that there are fake keyholes on all our cabinet handles, but that I hardly notice they've been there, I think, since we moved in almost 20 years ago. I mean, I'm sure I found them odd at first too, but living somewhere for years, that kind of thing just becomes normal. Anyway, I'm glad they're not real and that no one can lock up the tasty foods inside.

Day 184: Mancala

A post! Yay! Mancala is a game I haven't played in... has to be almost a decade by now. Or it feels that long. I don't know if I ever actually enjoyed playing it. Every person I ever played it with played a different variation, so I was always kinda confused and never knew which was the "original" or most widely played version or which I should practice at. But I do like the board and pieces that look like colorful deformed marbles. Yay, swirly colors!

Day 183: Giddyup!

Roary: "I AM NOT A HORSEY!"

Hooray! Day 183 means I've made a half a year of posts! *plays some inappropriately huge victory music*

Day 182: Microscopic & Mysterious

This morning, scientists discovered a new species of bacteria, most unusual due to its nucleus shaped like a lowercase "m". Much about them will remain a mystery, however, as an assistant mistook them for candy and devoured them on sight.

Day 181: DS Reflected

This is my DS reflected on the back of a Hoagiefest button/badge/pin thing my brother gave me. Why? No idea, but I like how it looks. Why did my brother give me this thing? 'Cause I'm some kind of nutcase about the apparently annual Wawa Hoagiefest. It continues to come off as hilariously ridiculous to me and no one else. They have this mascot whose name, as far as I know, is the Hoagieman, and he's some one-man cartoon homage/parody of the Beatles. (My brother's coworkers came up with the name Flaps Jackson, which I think suits him perfectly, but I have no idea why.) It's just a big advertising campaign, but the message seems to be "peace, love, and harmony through sandwiches". Being a big fan of sandwiches, Wawa's in particular, this is a sentiment I can get behind. If only it were actually promoting that instead of discounted lunch/snack items.

Um, yeah. Please excuse the tangent. And sorry to anyone now craving a sandwich.

Aaaand, now I'm craving a sandwich! Curses!

UPDATE: I have had a sandwich! It was good.

Day 179: Flowery Florida Fund

Woo, jar o' coins. This is gonna pay for the road trip to and from my uncle's house in Florida. In theory. No one has made a very certain estimate at how much money will be in this once full.

Photos are falling behind too quickly now, so I'm leaving behind the missed days entirely. Unless I happen to take more good photos in one day that I can use. I mean, the days won't be accurate, but the number of photos to-date will be.

Day 178: Makeshift Monsters

Witness the exciting battle between the Pushermen warriors and the tribe of copper orcs led by the nefarious Quar'ter!

I don't think I'll ever be one to collect D&D miniatures. Not without a lot more money to waste, anyway. I'd love to run a battle where the players don't have to work their imaginations so hard just to keep up with the action. Using dice for trees is kind of a lot of lame. It would be awesome to pull off the kind of adventures Gabe from Penny Arcade runs. Oh, well. Someday, I hope.

Day 177: Gazebo

Gazebo is such a funny word. Gazebo, gazebo, gazebo.
I'm not sure I actually like this photo. It's a little plain. But whatever

Day 175: Teldrassil

World of Warcraft on an HDTV. Yesssss.

Day 174: Initials

This kinda thing makes me think. And wonder. Whose initials are they? How old were its authors? Was their relationship half as permanent as this writing? What if they broke up badly, and this statement of love is now just a bitter reminder of failure and betrayal? Or what if they stay together and grow old? Maybe I'm thinking too much. I probably wouldn't put half as much thought into it if I actually knew the couple.

Day 173: The Bombs Bursting in Air


Ahh, finally. My DSi has power again! And I have a week to catch up on. So after this post is gonna be older ones until I'm caught up.

Yay, fireworks! Our town has them a day early for some reason. None of my photos of them came out very sharp, but there's enough shape and shiny in this one to be interesting.

Day 172: Universe

This is a perfect model of the whole universe, complete with black holes. Any resemblance to a bowling ball is purely coincidental. And look, a message from aliens! I think it means someone named Einusa is mad.

Day 171: The Last Bite

(Or the last two bites, if this isn't bite-size to you.)

The last of my breakfast-for-dinner-at-breakfast-time. Erm. Yeah, my sleep's been pretty off. So I'm not even counting this as a cheat.

Them were good waffles.
