Lager, Cerveza, Ale
Posted by: j_john
One of the neat things about being in North Carolina for Thanksgiving is ordering a traditional lager, like the USA's oldest Yuengling. Sure it tastes like PBR, but this stuff has been around forever and outlasts any trend.
However, my cousin and her fiancé opted for more exotic flavors.
So So Early

Where do you go when you show up 24 hours early for your return flight from Raleigh, North Carolina?
Gypsy's Shiny Diner of course.
Best shiny diner ever.
New Home

Check out Elmer's new digs:
I had been planning this upgrade for awhile, and with the awesome assistance of Fiona Garlich I found a great $5 table at the local William Temple Thrift Store and set everything up on Saturday night. I hope Elmer settles in to her new environment and enjoys all the new room to roam around. She certainly deserves it, especially after the recent developments during my visit to the vet where I found out Elmer was experiencing an eye infection (a common problem with turtles).
Usually I administer eye drops and she gets better, but this time they recommended giving her antibiotic shots for 10 days. Shots?! Oh god, it looked so easy when the vet showed me how-Elmer didn't even flinch. Of course when I stick her she tries to bite the needle and then retreats into her shell. The worst time was Saturday afternoon--after trying to be quick and painless I placed her back in her home, and she promptly stuck her face in her water bowl, in a manner that I could only describe as an attempted drowning. I felt so terrible, I immediately went to work setting up her new space.
Since I'm leaving town tomorrow, I am indebted to Fiona yet again for agreeing to continue the shots in my absence.
Happy Birthday Maggie

British Breakfast at the Brass

Had a great time at the Horse Brass yesterday, hanging out with friends both old and new (man of the morning Josh Berezin falls into both catergories), watching English Premier League (Crystal Palace tied Arsenal 1-1) and eating the most delicious of breakfasts, the "Homestyle English." We should post a review on Digest...
so so blue

Re-design time! Hope everyone likes the newer, bluer so so deep. Just in time for our new election...I voted weeks ago, hope everyone gets out there today if they don't live in the OR.
Also--I totally joined Flickr. Click on the images for a larger version. I'm a bit dissapointed I didn't get to break out the soccer rocker in his full glory, but I'm planning on keeping that character in my repertoire.
Oh, and I'm now an amateur graphic-designer:
Grindhouse Posters.
