Mr. Brown Iced Coffee

It’s been a while since I’ve done a drink review, mostly because my stomach couldn’t take much more of my energy drink consumption. I quit drinking them about a year ago, but I haven’t quit coffee. In fact, I enjoy coffee now more than I probably ever did, since Nina turned me on to french [...]

Learning How to Not Suck

Cameron and I were discussing the other night about how people don’t understand why we tend to be very critical of anything we produce. “That photo/drawing/whatever is amazing! You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself.” they say. “No,” you say, “this photo/drawing/whatever is awful.” I have to hold myself to a higher standard than the [...]

Tonight in a Nutshell

The only picture here that really is better with context is the final one. We were out on Cam and Les’ windowsill having a couple beers when we were approached by a homeless woman who asked me to buy her a 40. She had the money to pay for it, but her excuse was she [...]

Zombies Board Game

Was down at Goodwill a little while ago and came across a board game called Zombies!!! That’s right; three exclamation points. It was only eight dollars and it was new, in the shrinkwrap, so we picked it up. On the back it said it came with 100 zombies, but I figured it’d be something lame [...]

Dinner Conversation

We had dinner at Nina’s parents tonight, and I met her two nephews (ages 2 and 5) for the first time. The best thing about child humor — I learned tonight — is there is no rhyme or reason to it. Apparently they’re both on an anything-and-everything-pirates kick right now, and during dinner, the oldest [...]

I Don’t Sleep

It’s almost 4 in the morning and here I am typing shit up, despite the fact that I’ve been trying to get to sleep since midnight. This isn’t something new, though; sleep has always taken quite a bit of effort on my part, though I didn’t really notice I had a problem until I started, [...]

My New Favorite Distance Measurement

I just learned about the beard-second, which, according to the Wiki entry, is defined as a unit of length (like a light-year) equal to the distance a beard grows in one second. If my brain could fathom a nanometer, a beard-second is five of those. A good way to get a feel for five nanometers [...]

House of the Dead: Overkill

Nina and I have been shooting zombies and upgrading weapons in House of the Dead: Overkill for a couple days now and I have to say I like the game overall, even though there’s a lot to not like. If you didn’t know, Overkill is the first in the House of the Dead franchise whose [...]

Burnside and Things

It’s funny how stressed out I’ve gotten myself over a self-imposed shooting schedule. I decided I’d like to upload a mere three photos a week to a photoblog to encourage me to take more pictures, and when my girlfriend reminded me I needed to shoot a photo for Sunday night’s update, it felt like it [...]
