July 23rd, 2010

Yeah, it’s been a little while, huh? Sorry, we’ve been busy over here making ice cream with the kitchen aid, swimming in the lake, hanging out in Yosemite, and generally enjoying summer. We’re gearing up for Wedding Week 2010, where we go to 3 weddings in 7 days.

I also have to go get two wisdom teeth out today, which might be fun, but probably not.

Damn, that Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin album and Sir Luscious Leftfoot are goooood. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. What have you been doing?

June 25th, 2010

And here we are. I’ve been trying to get this out on a weekly basis but some weeks are just dead with no links and some weeks I’m just too damn busy to get anything down. This is one of those weeks where I’ve been really, really busy, but there are some pretty cool links I have had.

If you’re gonna just look at one, I’d read the comic sans thing, because it really is funny. Like I said, I’d like to see it turned into a short where Steve Buscemi does a dramatic reading of it. Perhaps as his character Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs.

We’re off to see Adria at Parfait again today and then off to some Ethiopian food for Jams’ birthday. Still am way behind in posting about movies that we’ve seen, but there were some really good ones recently, including one we saw at SIFF called Waiting for Superman about the educational system which showed a good deal about Geoffrey Canada and Harlem Children’s Zone. The NPR story about the grants touches on the same subject and Owl and I were glad that the grants weren’t just about building charters, but something bigger.

Anyways, more on that later. I’m gonna go get some ice cream. Damn it I’m all caught up on The Walking Dead and now can’t wait until the next issue comes out. RICK GRIMES FTW. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.

  • Just noticed default action for swipe on mail has changed to "archive" in the mail app for gmail users in iOS 4. I like it. #

  • Just made some ginger scallion noodles from the Momofuku cookbook. Pretty decent, but I think I over did it with the ginger. Super easy! #

We moved a couple weeks ago! Thanks to all those folks that helped us pack, carry boxes, etc. Just getting back up to speed over here and trying to catch up on a ton of things. It certainly is no help that we now have a ton of unpacking to do still, but I’m glad we’re out of that crappy place we used to be in! Also, I was in Columbus this week which was weird and humid.

I was somewhere near a mall, and know they had two Chipotles, a Waffle House, a few McDonald’s and a very crappy and overpriced sushi place. I know, don’t ask me why I felt the urge to eat chicken katsu in Ohio.

I have very few links to give you this week, but I have to say, I’ve spent a lot of money at iTunes in the last couple of months since I’ve done a fair amount of media consumption on the iPad on the plane, sitting around while watching TV, etc. and it’s kind of troubling (from a personal financial standpoint), but damn I’ve read some good stuff.

Anyone else read through all of The Walking Dead? I’m only on issue #25 or so and am trying to wait until the next collection comes out, but I broke down and bought a couple of single issues as well. So good.

I finished reading Michael Lewis’s The Big Short, which was also fascinating. Kottke had it right when he said that he’d made a hero’s narrative out of the sub-prime crisis.

I also have some updated movie lists to bring you, since we’ve gone on a tear with some SIFF movies. But that’ll be later, if you can’t wait (ha!) there’s an incredibly hard to parse list here. Here’s those links I was talking about.

Ugh, BP.

In any case, have a great weekend. It’s supposed to be nice in Seattle, which will be a change from all this crappy weather we’ve been getting.
