very simple

This is starting to get ridiculous. Taken at 10:45 this morning, when it was nowhere near done snowing.

I was a last minute substitute for my dad, who had the flu, but I got to see A Behanding in Spokane the other night, and it was both awesome and awesomely creepy. As befits any play starring both Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell. And a missing hand.

while this is both the oldest and least pleasant Barnes & Noble location in the city, It has the best signs.

this is just sad. I know people have tiny apartments, but there’s just no excuse for doing this to your bicycles.

Note: this was taken at 10:30am, before the bulk of the storm hit.

missed a few more days in here, but here are the latest pics.

365:155 (earmuffs)

oddly, these were purchased in the place least likely to ever require earmuffs…New Orleans.

365:156 (sophie mae (RIP))

took this picture of sophie the last time I saw her last week on an intermittent trip home from the vet. We had to let her go to the great beyond this weekend. very sad.

365:160 (saratoga

the best sparkly water anywhere.

365:161 (metropolitan opera)

365:162 (scary skies)

one of the oddest cloud formations I’ve seen in a while. Assuming this is a precuror to SNOWPOCALYPSE part 2 that is supposed to hit tomorrow.

Ok. so it’s nowhere near spring. But I got this mailer for the first big (and biggest!) bike ride of the season, and it made me very happy. Even though the ride itself is a giant, crowded, somewhat unpleasant mass of humanity.

Taken on Friday, which was widely considered to be one of the coldest days of the year. I don’t know what this guy did to piss off his manager, but while I waited a good 15 minutes for the bus, he was forced to walk back and forth in front of the Old Navy, shouting into a bullhorn about an awesome sale, while wearing this stupid hat, which wouldn’t even keep his head warm if he were wearing it correctly.

Again, a bulk post to catch up on the last week of photos:

133:365 (library card)

In the 6th grade, I checked out a library book that promptly fell behind my dresser, and not wanting to admit this, I never returned it. My fear of getting in trouble turned into me not getting another library card for over 20 years. At which point I realized that (a) they probably don’t keep records that long, (b) even if they did, replacing the book would cost, like, $20 (c) it was a biography of John James Audubon, so who the hell would even miss it and (d) I don’t even live in that town anymore.

So…new library card!

134:365 (on hold)

took this 1 hour and 4 minutes into being on hold with B&N digital support, because my nook was connecting to the internet just fine, but wouldn’t actually download any books. Took about 30 seconds to solve once I did get someone on the phone.

(please note that I have missed days 135 and 136 – the first ones ever, and I feel really bad about it, but I had a job interview and was totally distracted by that!)

137:365 (early morning)

Apparently the trick to getting a table at my local coffee shop is to get there really early in the morning.

138:365 (boats)

Let me just say, that it was REALLY FREAKING COLD standing on this platform for almost 30 minutes at 1:30am waiting for the train to show up.
