funny image thursday!

The network's caption says it all.

WTF? This isn't even something off of engrish.com. Mail sent to Mike.

Summer of Sober Sara

This is a long entry because its been awhile since I've filled the internet in on whats been going on in my life.

I went back up to the Walton campsite for a weekend with my dad, which turned out to be half a disaster and half a good time.

Bad News: We were lured up there with the promise of being able to use a tractor and rock out some land digging, but the trailer never made it. Traffic sucked. I heard the weekend after the whole thing broke down too. I got real sick and threw up a lot on Saturday morning. We went to fly a remote control plane and it ended up getting broken. My dad did not sleep well and he seemed to be pretty miserable the whole time.

Good News: We got to see some deer up close. I went on a really awesome ATV tour through the back woods with my pops. A guy and I caught a frog. We got drunk. I got to go to Panda's Parlor and got ice cream (panda tracks) and a panda water bottle and panda coffee.

Overall the trip was pretty regular, but it was nice to get out there for awhile. I plan on going back up with some people to camp on the hill because I've definitely sworn off sleeping in the trailer, but lack of money and really knowing who would be interested has kept me from getting my shit together.

Secondly, Mitsuwa had a summer festival fair, and Tina Dan and Xander and I went up to check it out. I was supposed to hang out with people from Japanese class while I was there, but it didn't work out as such - by the time they called me to hang out we had already left, me being tired and cranky and really ready to just pack up and leave for vacation. We got to see some taiko drumming, which was spectacular. We also ate some gyoza, beef bowls, ice cream mochi and the likes. I mean overall it was pretty nice, but it was crowded (as always, and that place is just not super for crowds), and hot. I spent more money than I should have. More than anything it was good to get Xander up there to see something that he hadn't before, mingling with the Japanese kids and what not. To tell the truth the only thing I was thinking about the whole time was

VAACAAATIIOOONNNN

Mike and I left for the outerbanks (duck, NC) that night, around 3am. I was throwing up during most of the drive there because I had drank a few shots before I went to bed and well that is just normal for me these days it seems, but Mike was able to drive most of the way there.

We had a really good time.

I won't bore you with details, because there aren't really actually, we did not much but lay around and play video games and watch the Olympics. We went parasailing, went to the ocean once, and took a day trip to Ocracoke which is an awesome island south of Hatteras. Here's the pictures I took.

I've been to the outerbanks twice now, and I've always wanted to stay north near Kitty Hawk and what not, but now that I have I know why Holly has always gone to Hatteras. Its just better there, calmer, less kids, etc. We're already planning on going back next year, but this time I'm bringing my dog, and more people. It was super nice to be there with just Mike because we had never really spent that kind of time together, but we both agreed it would have been more awesome with more friends. That way I could have gone fishing, and he would have someone else to pummel in Smash Brothers Brawl.

Here's some of our pictures from the vacation!

600x800+Monday= frownyface

I had to change my screen resolution to 600x800 today. It turns out that the client in Florida for some .. bizarre? .. inexplicable? .. totally fucked up!! reason has their screen at that resolution. My parents don't even have their screen at that resolution (though theirs at 1024x768 isn't a huge improvement).

I'm not one to sit and bark about how people should all have their screen resolutions at some high obscene number or anything like that, but if you're seriously using a computer at 600x800 at this point in time I think it might be a good idea to kind of sit back and reassess why it is that you even own a computer in the first place.

Tina and I made an awesome cake.

My boyfriend's sister and I are friends. I helped her with her son's fifth birthday party. It was a medieval times theme. It was pretty fun. We did a lot of prep for it, though a lot of it was totally unnecessary.

The best part was the cake. Tina used the internet and found out how to make a dragon cake. She baked it, but we both put it together and decorated it. Man, it was rad.







The wings are made of sticks and fruit rollups. Tina had the brilliant idea of using pineapple leaves as dragon spikes.

The cake was really really good. Of course, the kids were pretty impressed.

Radda radda, radda radda radda radda.

I really like the TV show Chowder on cartoon network. Its slowly becoming better as time goes on, and definitely is sneaking up on Fosters as my favorite cartoon. Fosters has a lot more episodes under its belt, so we will see how things go at the end of Chowder's second season, but I find myself falling a lot faster for Chowder than I did for Mac or Bloo, or even Eduardo. The thing about Fosters is that there were so many different characters I cared about, while in Chowder there's really only two (even though there are way more), so Shnitzel and Chowder get more love between the two as compared to say Cheese, Bloo, Mac, Eduardo and Frankie, who all got equal shares of the pot.

Spaceships of the (FUTURE)

Sometimes meetings at work can get a little boring, and 90% of the time when I am bored I start doodling on my notepad. I never go into meetings without one, and every once in awhile I find that I've doodled something swell.

Today was not one of those days!!

We have weekly status meetings in my boss's office, which I guess are pretty helpful, if anything its nice to stop sitting in front of the computer for a half hour. Either way since some items of discussion only require the attention of two people that don't include me, I usually end up thinking about some kind of theme and then draw stuff based on that theme. Today it was safari!



You can see I've drawn an elephant or two, a giraffe, an ostrich, and I think that the guy on the right is some kind of hippo, but the jury is still out.

A few weeks before this masterpiece was conjured up we had a meeting about design drafts, and I had the song Purple Bottle by Animal Collective stuck in my head. I doodled some lyrics, and drew a bottle, and also some toothpaste for some reason. After the meeting the boss came over to my cube, and checked out what I had accomplished in my notes. He decided that the bottle was actually a lamp, and drew up a nifty little toothbrush to go with my tube of toothpaste, which according to him was called "Molly Fresh".



Don't ask me how Godzilla got there, because I honestly don't know.

Lastly, during a brainstorming session quite awhile back, my boss and I came up with different ideas for Spaceships of the (FUTURE). As you can see below, the highlight of this doodle-fest was the Octopus Bus. According to my boss, the Octopus Bus is a spaceship that is made mostly for public transportation. There are jets that shoot out of the end of the tentacles for navigating the skies and landing softly on giant Octopus Bus landing pads. I wasn't subscribing to this idea, so we actually had a pretty detailed discussion about how it would work and the pro's and con's of this kind of transportation system.



Basically the whole thing ended with me trying to prove his ideas as ludicrous and completely impractical for public transportation, or any kind of transportation for that matter. He claims to this day that I was just jealous of his creativity, but he is also responsible for the Penis Needle spaceship you see up there. So you be the judge of that.

Last week while he was on vacation I had the honor of being proved a moron by a CNN story about Google launching a race to outer space. Next to the article on the home page of CNN's science and technology section was this computer generated artist's interpretation..



I don't know if something like this actually is in some kind of production, but boy do I feel the asshole. Also please do not sue me if this image is not allowed to be here. It came from CNN.com. I don't know who is responsible for it. But I am not claiming that I did.

So it seems that not too long from now we'll all be riding in Octopus Buses. Or at least until the next big animal inspired space ship craze comes around.
