Next

Found out last friday it's onto the next homestead in our path. We close on 2227 Hooker St. next Thursday. We're scrambling to make arangements to get everything in order and to start the transition. It's gonna be so nice to spread out and to finally get all our posessions in one place. We'll be slowly movin' stuff over all month as we still have 2322 Ogden until the end of next month.

Ready to do some spring and summer hangin' in the highlands and stay tuned for some parties at the Duts!

sweet stache on stick

I think this will somehow work into my next halloween costume. Or not. Either way, 'tis cool.

Sweet sleeping/eating bag

Check out this bear sleeping bag this artist made. I think it's technically considered sculpture, but I think it's just plain funny. There's a slideshow of images here.

This is what I'd like to be eating

Ok, so post cancer I'm doing all I can to live life as healthy as I can. I take tons of suppliments, I try my darnedest to exercise as much as I can, and my diet has changed dramatically. No longer is a tasty cheesesteak my lunch. More like a salad (booo). Anyway, I love this site, this is why you're fat.com. Man some of these concoctions are the best. If I was still on the pre cancer diet, I'd try a LOT of these. Deep down I love horrible junk food, altho I've made my peace with not eating it anymore. I love sweet and salt combo, too, and I'm wondering what the bacon cheddar burger on the krispy creme donut would taste like (lemme guess: deliciousness?). Anyway, scroll thru this site, as there's not really that many pages, and there's tons of calorie laden inventions like the corndog pizza above. I think there's even a happy meal pizza. Enjoy and be sure to go exercise after consuming.

I like penguins and I like type

So of course I like this image. Done by talented Marc Fisher.

Clever watermelon carving:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, smittens

Mittens you can hold hands in? check. Get smitten. Lord, what will people think of next? I love how the people in the image are wearing short sleeves. Not even cold out. Classic.

The ripper

When I was a kid, my mom was utterly embarrassed at the looks I received for wearing a t shirt with the above graphics on it to All Saints Church (our church in ATL). It was 'the ripper' shirt from Powell & Peralta's Ray Rodriguez board of the late 70's, and somewhat of a famous image in the, then fledgling, world of skateboarding. I loved that shirt, man. Anyway, times have changed, skateboarding has gotten HUGE and there are reams and reams of skate graphics. But, this one image is still classic and for me, reminds me so much of childhood. I found this neat art show going on where 58 artists all replicate this art in their style. Check out some art here and the story here.

Def one o the funniest youtube vids I've seen in a while

Holy crap I laughed out loud watching this. This kid is super looped from Nitrous and man, it's a roit. Please go watch if you haven't yet. See it here/

food tats

I've found myself loving watching LA Ink lately. Man, what people can do with a tattoo machine these days is amazing. It's like fine art. Anyway, this flickr set of food tattoos is kinda interesting.

Cool Biz cards

Dig this design. More here.

Now all we do is wait.

Well, here's the house we're tryin to buy. Like so many homes in this dismal market, it's a short sale. 'Short sale' is very misleading, because it is, in fact, not short. In a nutshell, it means it's selling for less than the orig loan or loan plus additional equity loans. I can't tell you how many homes on the market are short sales (lots). Anyway, we put in an offer (already 15K less than the 2002 purchase price) and then had it inspected and lowered our offer yesterday. The bank has 30 days to accept, deny or attempt to renegotiate our offer. All we can do now is sit back, cross our fingers and hope. Please hope, pray, meditate and send vibes of acceptance to the bank and owners. It's a REALLY old house (built in 1886!) and needs a little TLC, but has so much potential and is in a really sweet part of town (highlands/sloan's lake). We want to live there.

Not that I didnt already know this...

In a poll asking people where they'd like to live, Denver was named the highest ranked city! 43% of respondents asked said they'd like to live in here, followed by San Diego and Seattle. Read bout it here.
