I took this picture awhile ago. I see a shiny drink case pretty much everyday, since at some point I usually have to go in a corner store for toilet paper or something, not to mention the drug stores, pizza places or delis. Like tonight, when I ran out of milk, or earlier today when I had to go to the drug store to pick up some bandaids for the first aid kit at work.

And if you're looking for some new news. My plant has done this. Maybe it's flowering, but there aren't any petals, so maybe its a bud. I've had this plant for a few years now, and repotted it twice, but this is something new. It was very surprising though, since it seemed to sprout overnight, and it grows a little taller everyday. Anyway. I was kinda amazed and proud of my little plant, and have been keeping a close eye on it.

Over the Bridge Again

I took this on my way home from work. Because the lil' shutter (or whatever it is in a digital camera phone) is at a pretty slow speed, the bridge and walkway came out kinda curved. An indication of how fast we were traveling at the time.

Anyway. Its been oppressively hot for the last couple of days. I'm not going to start up the dry vs. humid argument again, but this was pretty gross. Standing on a sunny corner in Manhattan when it's 99 degrees with no breeze, baking in the heat being reflected off of the concrete sidewalks, buildings, and all the heat being generated by the cars crawling by PLUS high humidity makes for some miserable conditions. Kinda like being an ant under a magnifying glass. The only tradeoff is that when the weather us like this there are usually some pretty good thunderstorms at dusk into the evening.

Blahg

I've been somewhat of an apathetic blogger lately. Not feeling too clever or something. I figure the best way to get going is to post another picture, without worrying too much about what I should say about it.

Lil' Sis took this picture (along with some very very silly videos) on our way back to Reno after visiting the Muc. I think between that and the singing along to Tom Petty really loudly it was a good trip. Even with the forgotten melted Gummi bear heads stuck to the dashboard the next morning.
