BlogAnother ridiculous IM conversation involving myrone spawned this photoshop jewel. My
Cougar is now stored in my garage, awaiting spring and until then I have no forced induction to look forward to in the morning. Oh well, I can still beat up my S-10.
Tonight we went to see the
Rogerbox show at I-Rock night club in Detroit. Melissa discoverd the wonders of the backroom, I got to dance in a cage with Duane, and Keith kicked my butt at pool. There was also some guy from New York visiting, I think his name was Ben. Despite the lack of a big crowd, it was definately an entertaining night. The'll be playing again the night before Thanksgiving, and I plan to be there with bells on.
After voicing my recent fascination with first generation Ford Probe GT's, and my potential plan to buy one, we somehow got on the topic of southerners.

Today at work, while I was being a happy coder, I looked outside the window and saw
this awesome sight. The depressing gray clouds had cleared enough to let the last light of the sunset in, creating a surreal world. The entire day was cloudy and gray, but this 5 minute display was worth the wait. I just wish every winter day would end like this.
Yesterday I fixed my countertop which was unsupported after the dishwasher install. Then I put new hardware in the toilet so it not only isn't leaking anymore, but also refills after every flush. Then I cleaned and organized the house, and sealed the utility room windows with vinyl. Today my
girlfriend and I built a
wine rack and
storage bin for the kitchen and storage room, respectively. These are in addition to the
storage shelving we built two weekends ago. A busy weekend, but the organization helps me cope with my obsessive compulsive disorder better.
Tonight is the last night for "
Late Night Gnome Cam." The Day/Night Camera I'm using is not very happy with cold temperatures. It has a "melting effect" when it gets below zero that looks cool, but probably isn't good for the camera. So, in the interest of maximum camera life, I'm retiring it for the winter and going back to the old XCam version. Once the weather goes back to a reasonable temperature you'll once again be able to see in the dark.
Today I went to Pizza Hut for lunch with Duane while he dropped off his Subaru for service (again). On the way back, we saw a
car hauler hauling state police cars. In retrospect, there's nothing odd about this, but at the time it was hilarious. I was fortunate enough to have my camera so I was able to
capture the moment.
Tonight around 8:01pm, the earth completely blocked the sun from the moon. For a few seconds, the moon was entirely black. Then, as the moon continued it's orbit, it slowly emerged from the eclipse.
Here is a photo I took shortly afterwards. I took a few more as the moon got brighter, but they
didn't turn out well.
Duane was so excited about the eclipse that him and Gina had me over for dinner. Ok, so he wasn't all fired up about the eclipse, but he did
have me over for dinner.
Today the building I work at had a
fire drill which turned out more exciting than anticipated due primarily to the antics of the "fire marshals" which were essentially a comedy routine. After the drill,
Duane and I went to Tubbies for lunch, and I finally got a
picture of me sitting on the dolphin statue outside the resturant. Quite possibly the most pointless sculpture I know of, it was something that had to be done.
