I Need More Space

This image, taken and posted by astronaut Paolo Nespoli aboard the ISS, has been making the rounds and for good reason. So I'm posting it myself. Credit here. That's the Discovery on it's last mission, shadowed by the ISS as it approaches.

Getting Arrested

After many recommendations, Rob from work loaned me the entire run of Arrested Development. So far we've really been enjoying it, so good call people who recommended it.

Dogfather

Came home from work today to find a severed squirrel paw perfectly placed on the center of the pillow. Random event, gift, or is this the horse head of canines?

Rain Coat

Rained a lot today. Wanted to take a cool-effect picture of the rain drops on the hood of the Honda. None of them really grabbed me. So here's the best of the lot. Snicker Snack: Bringing you the best in mediocrity since 2008!

Fragile Art

Ran across this and liked it. The bike is made from recycled washing machines, the rider entirely of broken glass bottles. "Glass Rider" by Studio Re.

The Skinny

Sometimes a certain angle reminds me how skinny Mystic has gotten (in a good, healthy way.)

A Girl And Her Squirrel

Yes, we do.

Sweet, Sweet Apocalypse

Having waded my way through the bounty of Christmas games, I arrive at the best saved for last. Offering number 5 of my all time favorite series: Fallout. I expect to avoid food, sleep, sunlight and bathing for some time. You have been warned.

Time Filler

As a Christmas "gift" from work we get a free day off that must be used by the end of February or you lose it. As I hadn't, and the end is nigh, it was just me, tea, and PS3 today.

Stomach Filler

An unexpected invitation to The Palm to listen to a presentation on Citrix's VDI product, XenDesktop 5.

Art Filler

Not much interesting to take pictures of this week, instead some art I like. Tom Thomson's "The West Wind."

Space Filler

In honor of Valentine's Day, space style. The W5 nebula.

Riverwatch

Watchin' the river on a clear day.

Fresh Air

After so much cold and snow it seems like everyone is enjoying today's weather. The kind of day to open all the windows and air the place out.

Celebration

Dinner at September's to celebrate Mari's new job.

Serious De Nile

Worked from home today to avoid the snow covered commute madness. Got to watch the build up to the address Egypt's "president" gave. What? How can someone simply be so completely wrong.

Snow Blows

Released from work @ 3:30. Arrived home @ 6. Meh.

Streaks

Just liked this picture .

Killing You Softly

 

Fired up Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood today. Or as it is affectionately known in the gaming community, "Ass Bro."

Tandoori Too

Ran across a tandoori recipe in our new cookbook Saturday, and it reminded me of a fellow blogger's posts. So we tried it over a bed of basmati rice. Very good.

In Disposed(al)

So the title was a bit of a stretch. Here's proof of it installed and working for all you doubters out there. (Actually there were no doubters, I'm just happy I got the thing installed and wanted a picture of it. Work with me here.)

Disposal Disposal

The garbage disposal went out, so I replaced it. Who needs Home Depot installers when you have tools and a colorful array of swear words handy.

Cop Out

Someone in our neighborhood must have complained about people rolling through the stop sign because we've had a cop stationed here for two days now pulling over anyone who commits said violation. Not a great pic of the cop but I liked the effect.

Fool's Gold

So we shelled out for a dimebag of saffron, the self proclaimed "golden spice." Not so good in one household's opinion. Wonder if I can sell it on the street.

Claw Crane Game, Space Style

This is the Canadian claw on the ISS plucking an unmanned Japanese supply shuttle out of space. And I thought both the picture, and what it showed was cool. So. Here ya go.

WOTM

Welcome to February. The hardest to spell month of the year.
