Faildate

February 8th, 2010

Saturday night’s date attempt was full of fail.

Starts off with an email 5 mins before meetup time, saying “running 45 mins late, and I already ate”.  Continues with actual arrival time of more like 1.5 hours late.  I failed to garner us an ideal location at the venue, and was asked for a ride home after less than an hour out.    He wasn’t at karaoke last night, at least not by the time I left.

shrug.

back in the hole.

Starbucks Disaster!

February 8th, 2010

Oh noes!

I got the inside word today, Starbucks is discontinuing the Signature Hot Chocolate.  First it was my chantico, then the Odwalla, and now the siggy.  They just really don’t want my non-coffee-money. =(

Crab, Tuna, Chicken, Trout and more, a canned meat plethora.

We went and volunteered down at Northwest Harvest, a sort of food bank for food banks. Hopefully they can find someone to take my deep freeze off my hands.

One of my less often used toys is a massive wacom tablet.  When I first got it, I played around a little with this drawing program that simulated real instruments like pencils and paints.  I’m hoping the iPad ends up being able to do similar stuff.  Imagine the fun for kids on a long trip, able to finger paint without any mess for mom and dad =p

“I’d rather be bored
Than spend time with you,”

Not much I can say next.

Strange Hands

There’s a church on queen anne, across the street from the “yummy togo” teriyaki place. At first glance, I thought the fence was just a random leaf pattern, but on closer inspection, the leaves are pierced with a collection of hands, some of which I’m not clear on the symbolism of.
