The Best Flickr Ever

GW and I were talking last night and though I believe its only one of two websites (the other being Pink is the new blog)she visits, she mentioned a post on Kottke about old school illustrations on modern things. Now, I’d seen some of these on FFFFFOUUND (or however many letters it has) and I’d [...]

Wedding Apricot Couch

I am the worst sick person ever, I had a cold this weekend and it reduced me to a sad pile on the couch more or less, with the exception of attending a friendly wedding ceremony. It was a good one, I think, not too big, with plenty of food and booze and good company. [...]

Mark Langston Trade

This was mentioned on lookout landing today, and I’ve sort of been following this since Randy Johnson was traded in 98, but the 1989 trade of Mark Langston for Randy Johnson, Brian Homan and Gene Harris has netted the Mariners 20 more players over the course of 20 years.

Sometimes a person forgets to eat dinner, or sometimes they just didn’t have time or money, and then they end up at the bar [...]

Various Thought 04/03/09

1. I watched Quantum of Solace yesterday and it was like watching a remake of the Bourne Ultimatum, full of jumping on rooftops in dusty cities and gritty fights and things of that nature, though I didn’t buy their stop in Haiti, mostly because even James Bond would probably be murdered there. Additionally the Russian [...]
