At Long Last! Pictures of the Lake!

June 25, 2011
By

Chris D. has been bothering asking me to post pictures of the lake that’s in the middle of my new co-op complex. Well here you go! And I’ve also included bonus shots of the ducks that live there.

The duck came right over when it saw me and just stared at me through the fence. I assume it’s thinking “Well? WTF do you want?!” The apartments around the lake are all one bedrooms, so if I wanted a lakefront one I’d need to only get one bedroom. Having a two bedroom trumped the lake for me. But the laundry room is on the lake and it has a deck with chairs I can use anytime so I get to share the lake as well. The big deck you see in the second picture is unfortunately closed for repairs and I’m not sure when it’s gonna get fixed. But it’s still a nice view and cool to have a lake and nature so close. Happy Chris?

Finally! Jet Blue Stands Up for the Tall People!

December 3, 2010
By

I’ve been seeing these ads around the city for Jet Blue. I realize it’s all just baloney since Jet Blue’s seats are just as cramped as everyone elses, but it’s still nice to think they pretend to care about us freaks of nature:

::INFLATES EMERGENCY SLIDE:: Wheeee!

Good Luck Getting Out of That Parking Spot!

October 12, 2010

I just saw this while I was going on my lunchtime walk. (I wonder if I’ll have time for lunchtime walks when I start my new job? Doubtful.) The front car is about a half inch away, and the rear car is actually touching.

I don’t think Austin Powers would even be able to get out of that one. It’s just another reason why I hate the city. It’s just plain ridiculous. I’m reminded of the Onion article:

In addition, 3 million New Yorkers reportedly left the city because they realized the phrase “Only in New York” is actually just a defense mechanism used to convince themselves that seeing a naked man take a shit on a park bench is somehow endearing, or part of some shared cultural experience.

Only in New York! (And other shithole cities.)

Our Trip to Providence

September 28, 2010
By

Alright, I know these are super late, but better late than never right? Right? (CRICKETS) Oh well. Anyway, me and Robin went to Providence, Rhode Island a few weeks ago. We went up on Friday and met John, who was kind enough to take us out to dinner. John was just as nice and fun as you would expect. We actually forgot to take a picture together, but here is an artist’s rendering of the evening:

The next day we strolled casually around the city of Providence:

Then we went to the Rhode Island School of Design museum. The main museum was closed, but we were able to go to the student section:

Then we found this:

And entertained ourselves for hours and hours and hours:

Our friend Brian met us that evening and our first order of business was to go to this restaurant that me and Robin passed the day before where they had these 100 oz drinks, which required a minimum of three people to order. And it was glorious.

Every few weeks during the summer, the city of Providence lights a series of a hundred fires down the river that runs through Providence. It’s a beautiful sight and they play music and you feel like you’re in some fancy schmancy city over in Europe.

Robin got these magnificent bunny ears:

And here the three of us are. Who took the picture you ask? Let’s back up a bit. When we were at the restaurant earlier, we were sitting outside and this guy asked if he could join us. Um, okay. So he joined us and proceeded to talk and talk and talk. He was a bit younger than us, but he was nice enough so it wasn’t that big of a deal. But then he asked what we were doing that night and asked if he could join us. Um, okay. So he walked around Water Fire with us. Clearly we put him to work and made him take our picture. We wondered how we were going to get rid of him, but then OUT OF NOWHERE he found this other group of friends, and was like “Bye guys!” and then we cried and cried and cried. Because WE were supposed to break up with HIM, not the other way around. The nerve!

Then when we were tired of being sophisticated, we went and played Ms. Pac-Man. Here’s Brian whispering sweet nothings into Robin’s ear:

Here’s Brian being a goober:

And then a super goober:

When he was supposed to be taking this picture:

THE END. Yay Providence!

Things I Learned From and/or About the Puntabugang

August 3, 2010
By

So this weekend was the big Puntabulous Pool Party! People came from all over the country (California! Pennsylvania! Washington DC! New Jersey!) and beyond (Oh, Canada!) for this shindig! Not only was it amazing fun, but it was also quite the learning experience! Here are just a few things my dancing monkeys taught me! Why am I using so many exclamation points?!


Michelle M: Michelle M. taught me that not all California Gurls wear cupcake bras that shoot frosting out of their nipples. Believe me, I checked.


Harry: I learned his name is actually Terry. He also takes offense when you check to see if his wife is wearing a cupcake brassiere.


Tam: Tam taught me that not all non-Americans are terrorists. Just Canadians.


Kristen: I was made aware of the fact that Kristen is the sweetest thing imaginable and incapable of being corrupted by pervy bloggers. Except for Adam. Hence the “We’re up to no good” looks on their faces.


Mikey: I found out that Mikey’s beard is actually an elaborate facial weave made from the fur of baby seals he clubs himself and later dyes with octopus ink. He is capable of growing his own beard, but enjoys the sport of clubbing seals and wrangling octopi.


Adam: I learned that the back of Adam’s knee smells like pink Starbursts.


Enrico: I found out that Enrico is short and speaks in all capital letters. It doesn’t really say A-DORK-ABLE on my shirt, that’s just Enrico’s text bubble.


Josh: I learned that Josh can charm the pants off of anyone but Stephen.

David: I learned that David’s name is most certainly not Stephen.


Chris D.: I found out that Chris D. has got some serious swagger, with the sunglasses and subtle spread of the legs to prove it.

Paul: Paul lives in my town and I found out that he’s the reason why all the local stores are out of stock in pink shorts. He has the whole island’s supply monopolized. ::shakes fist::


Polt: Polt showed me that while he may be wearing a Superman shirt, he has the child-like innocence of Jimmy Olsen. And the vagina of Lois Lane.

Jere: I learned that there isn’t a hat Jere can’t make look good, and a camera he can’t refuse to tongue.


Fdot: I found out that FDot makes really awesome cookies and isn’t offended when you eat so many that you throw up in his shoe when he isn’t looking (even if he’s wearing them at the time).

Justin: Justin taught me that Adam gives great head.


VUBOQ: I learned that parties don’t start till VUBOQ walks in (and brings all the good alcohol).


Nathan: Nathan taught me that American beer is actually just the piss of Canadian beer makers. Also, Canada is better than America in every way possible.


Natalie: I learned — once again — that Natalie Portman, my wife, is a dirty slut.


Mom and Dad: I learned that Mom and Dad are pretty awesome, which admittedly I was already pretty sure of. And my Dad has an unconventionally large head.

Lastly, I’m sure we all already knew, but could always use the reminder that bloggers (and friends and family of bloggers) have no shame:

So yeah, it’s a good thing I’m so smart, or else all this learning would have fried my brain more than the sun did. Seriously, the sun is hot, y’all! Anyway, what a fantastic weekend! I had an amazing time! Thank you to everyone who came! And thank you so much again for the wonderful park bench, graphic novels, and argyle tie!
