Aw, cruddy and disappointing ending. But the archives are still worth the read!

I've never been all that into comics except for a random Ziggy or Garfield (this one gave me a good giggle) cartoon and of course Squee. I started reading Road Waffles on the suggestion of a friend and have spent a couple of nights glued to the archives. Ya gotta start from the beginning to understand all the silly little subplots and character references.

Even Mmmmier (yes, that's a word): Circus Peanuts!

Nah, I'm not bored. Why would you think that? ;o)

Mmmm, Peeps.

This is better than any vacation home I can think of. (another one found on CamWorld)

The Destructive Role of Denial in Web Design. Link stolen from CamWorld.

One Hundred Demons

There's no such thing as a late paper. Yeah, tell that to my profs. Actually, the advice found here, if modified slightly, can be very useful.

"A Woman's Guide on How to Pee Standing." Hrm.

Lomos are seemingly (and hopefully) taking over the world! They are cute little cameras with no flash and a precision light meter that take some of the most beautiful and interesting pictures you'll have ever seen. My friend Aaron has a Lomo and some neat examples of what can be done with one here and here. I can't wait to get one of my own!

Glowing rabbits?!

Paperclip Porn. Somebody was REALLY bored at work. ;o)

After reading "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer (which my uncle so graciously loaned to me after watching me pour over the pictures in his beautiful hardcover edition for an hour), I have become obsessed with learning all that I can about the events which unfolded on this May 1996 Mt. Everest expedition during which eight people lost their lives. This book drew me in and I found myself speaking, thinking, and dreaming about this fascinating and curious story for four days. Mountain Zone and Outside Magazine are interesting reads on the subject as well.

"I dream about the days to come, when I won't have to leave alone. The days when I won't have to say; kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me. Hold me like you'll never let me go."
~ "Leaving on a Jet Plane"

I love when old memories and new hopes mesh together so nicely.

After an enlightening stop at work and some serious thought, I have come to the conclusion that my job is the major cause of my progressively declining mood over the past two or three years. I have many theories on this, and if you care to hear any of my thoughts on why it is an evil company, ask me. I may end up posting it all here sometime anyway, but not yet. Time to do some serious job hunting.
