Slightly Better Photo Blog

Jade thinks she's cool in my Christmas slippers.
Portland's bus stop sign. Kinda cool that they show you were to go.
I've never seen ice on a car like this in real life.
The smoking pot outside my office's break room. Oh I think I'm gonna puke!
Peacock Lane is a big thing in Portland. Every house on the street MUST put up holiday lights.
Some people aren't so fired up about hanging lights on Peacock Lane.
What a glorious sight! Over flowing mashed taters!!!
World, meet Sara Beara. You can call her Sara for short. Molly says so.
I think a few toads pissed on this pumpkin-thingy.
That’s it for now. Maybe the next photoblog will be even better.
Too damn early!
Who wakes up at 4:15am on a Thursday morning? A 7 year old on crack! By crack I mean Christmas.
Merry Christmas! I need a god damn nap!
Thanksgiving Photos
Posted by jim in Holliday, Photo Blog on December 1st, 2008
We trekked down to uncivilization for Thanksgiving. After work on Wednesday we loaded up the car and hit the road for Merlin to visit my mom. We only made it half way and crashed at a hotel. We finished the trip Thursday morning. We got there started cooking, had a pre-Christmas gift exchange, ate, watched football, and had good times. Friday we’re pretty low key. We saw Four Christmasas and hit up Walmart for a little Black Friday shopping. Saturday we went to the Rogue River National Forest and Crater Lake. Sunday we drove home. Here are some photos.
Halloween ’08 pt. 2
I forgot to mention that my whole team (well… most of them) dressed up like lumberjacks too. It was my idea, and they went with it.
I look HUGE next to all of them. All I need is a Blue Ox!
Halloween ’08
I’m not original this year. Today I’m dressed up at a lumberjack. I’ve been dressing up at a lumberjack ever since my old band G2K played a Halloween show, and all four of us dressed like lumberjacks. It’s easy and doesn’t require a lot of though. I even started growing a beard for a more realistic look. Too bad I only have about 2 weeks of growth.
I had to go buy the shirt and suspenders last night. My old suspenders broke, and I donated my old red plaid shirt. It was kinda cool trying on the different sizes. The 4XLT was huge on me, but and 3XLT is a little tighter then I feel comfortable in. I bought the 3XLT. I don’t need a new tent. I plan on getting smaller.
Tonight will be the first night in YEARS that I go out trick or treating. Not that I’ll be trick or treating, but Patricia and I will be walking Molly and a bunch of Molly’s classmates while they trick or treat. Most years I just turn down the lights and pretend to not be home in true “bah humbug my grandma was a Jehovah’s Witness and taught me well” fashion.
Wish me luck with the ass load of screaming kids tonight.
