Blog Entries For July 2005

Forgot how much I love painting. Sorry about the glare :(

In NJ, we have light pollution like nowhere else. People in PA cannot understand what it is like. So, keeping in mind that camera phones are notoriously bad at picking up light, and that this was not taken in Night Mode, here is the sky at 2AM:

My job is to open boxes. This is what I do in an afternoon:

And that's not enough. Each box contains a box, which contains smaller boxes, which contain shelf wraps, which contain items that go on the shelf. All in all, the average item you buy is probably 90% packaging.

Hehe, a whole box of pleather...

Glare is bad, but this guy's liscense plate is VEAL. I think he did it just to piss people off.

John hit a shopping cart.

We cleaned up the yard. Look how pretty. Also, check out the awesome graffiti.

We bought the Dr. Evil Chair for $15 (cause it was Wednesday). Check out the awesome made-of-duct-tape-ness.

Josiah and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

It's the Superb Van.

These are two cooked chickens, and they are very good. They got to be in a picture cause they cost less than $4. This is why all grocery shopping should be done at 5AM.

Golf ... club

This is the giant Moth of Doom that attacked my face in the middle of the night while I was trying to sleep.

Me and Jeff figured out how cooking operates. It was really good, AND nobody died. Also, no fire. All is good.

This is Jeff's friend Andrew. He is "metro"sexual. One of the fake holes in his pants look like a penis... that is having too much fun all over his leg. I think that it is intentional.

Roach hunting victory.

The thing to know about cats in West Philly is that they always come in pairs, and the cats in a pair are always identical. No one knows why this is. Jeff says they are created by Satan, and are the spawn from the archetype of evil. This is the fourth time in two days, with no exceptions yet.

Here's an old picture from prom weekend in the Poconos in high school. From the top, it's Dassia, Alan (and leg), Shavinda, John, Marlana, the mannequin head, Nicole, and me. Suspiciously missing is Rob (probably taking the picture), Kim (probably because she doesn't exist), and Adam 2000 (well, we all know why, but don't say it around Kim)

And here's the Welcome Bear from the prom weekend house

Me and Jeff cooked again, this one is "megastew"

We had been wondering why trees grew out of the abandoned building next door. Then we saw it rain. And this is why (especially check out the waterfall that shoots out from the wall):

"If you put on that jacket, I'll lick your nipple."

From Retrospect: Pimping Indians, Pimping Womens

Here's me asleep. Don't know who took this, or why.

Here's DBs on a chair. Don't know who took this, or why.

Pictures from Nicole's Party:

Ashley, Rob, Rob, and Nciole

Amy and Malissa

Rob, Nicole, and John

John, Dassia, and half of Rob (the not bearded half)

Rob disco dancing

Nicole's parents are crazy. Check out the statue of a toilet that looks like their toilet on top of their toilet.

This is how every household should connect to the internet

Look what I caught. I am so proud of me.

IKEA tables are cheap. We are cheaper, so we bought a floor model. 6 miles from home, we have a convertible, and an assembled table. And luck. You know, the bad kind. So that wasn't fitting. But that's OK. Because we can just lay it upside down on the trunk, lean over the back seat and hold it and ourselves in/on by grabbing the front seats with out ankles. Then just drive it down the highway, through downtown Philly, around a traffic circle (twice), and home. Potholes? I have never heard of these things called potholes. Especially not in West Philly.

This girl looks exactly like a little mini-Rebekah, so I snuck a picture when she wasn't looking.

We parked next to a Lotus Esprit V8 at Rita's. Someday... (check out how it's the height of the minivan's door handles)
