Wishmaker

It's time to see who gets this year's wish.

UPDATE: In a never before seen result, the wishbone split perfectly in half and in equal length. It was therefore decided both wishes would be awarded this year.

On Like Donkey Kong*

The tree is up. I guess the Christmas season is officially official now.

Unboxing Day

And so the house begins it's yearly transformation.

12

Mari and I celebrate 12 years together, and each one keeps getting better.

Quick Time

The holiday rush begins with Mari going out of town next weekend, us going out of town the weekend after that, and the Atlanta Irelands coming for an early Christmas the week after that.

Tday For Two (Four)

A romantic little Thanksgiving. Even with a couple of vultures circling the table.

Día de Accíon de Gracias

Getting out of work at noon culminates in giving thanks for good friends and good food at La Ha. It didn't occur to me to take a picture while I was there so you get my receipt, handsomely displayed on a backdrop of the new Tron cover of Wired.

De Nile

This is a picture of Africa at night, from space. Can you spot the Nile?

Seasons Greetings

JIS would like to welcome you to the holiday season. This will be the entirety of our decoration. Return to work, that is all.

Alive!

After yesterday's post Mari pointed out that 99% of the pictures I have of dogs on here are of them asleep. So this is to prove that they do actually move around, and bark, and do stuff. Also that Mad is part robot.

A Dog In The Sun

Mystic finds a warm window ray.

Quite Dishy

New dishwasher. See Mari's blog for more.

It's Not You, It's Me

Here's the G35, to make up for daydreaming about a newer model the other day.

Cargasm

Even though I'm a "car guy", I don't usually post car stuff. This though....This is the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 "Inaugural Edition". It's gorgeous, and it even comes in my favorite color. Dark blue with the twin white stripes. I love my Infiniti, but this is automotive ecstasy. So here it goes into the blog, for posterity. Because I can.

Life Imitates Art

Heavy Rain borrowed in heavy rain.

Getting All Misty

Foggy Monday.

The Straight Dish

Dishwasher 1 Jeff 0. It's always something with a house. Maybe apartments are the way to go.

Under Siege

That cluster of trees is the Bicentennial Mall as seen from one of my office windows. All day we kept hearing sounds like someone was pounding on the windows, which would be impossible 20 floors up. Turns out it was cannon fire for a Civil War living history re-enactment. My guess was window washers, live cannons not really the first thing that jumped to mind.

Enjoying Freedom

We get Veteran's Day off at JIS so I am celebrating my freedom from work, in my free country with some sleeping in, video gaming, and Chinese food.

Requiem For A Cockroach

Here we have a dead cockroach in the middle of my office walkway. Instead of wadding it up in a paper towel and tossing it aside, someone thoughtfully made a little sign and taped it to a bent paper clip, then added some tasteful flowers. I like this so much because I complain about this place being completely banal, so a little splash of something silly or imaginative is welcome.

Fabled Weekend

We had big plans to redo the downstairs bathroom this weekend. Then I was loaned several games and Mari bought Fable 3, a household favorite series. And then the weekend was gone.

Punny

I'm a sucker for a good pun.

Exhausted

The Honda proves roadworthy for another year.

Entertaining Coworker

Rob, a coworker, is also a PS3 owner and kindly lent me a few games today.

Shaved And Shined

Both pups are minty fresh now, they spent the day getting their teeth cleaned and nails cut.

Against All Odds

Here's our voting center. Time to go in and cast my vote for a bunch of people who are going to lose.

November's Wolf O' The Month

Welcome to November. Not sure what I'm going to do for an easy blog post when the year is over.
