Still Vacationing

So yeah, I’m still on vacation, and I will try to post more pictures once I get home. Sorry about the below pictures, wordpress has been acting up lately, and I could only get them on as a gallery… So I realize some of them are confusing, and very odd looking, but hey, it’s my blog and I can do what I want For now I just want to share a link with you www.chacha.com. ChaCha is a unique idea, if you have a cellphone with a texting plan, just text a question to 242242… yup, any question, other than the kind that wouldn’t be public knowledge… Just ask a question such as, What month to tulips typically bloom in Pennsylvania?, and be patient, answers may take up to 10 minutes… Enjoy!

Vacation!

So yeah, vacation started this morning at 7:00… And we spent the day driving across the country. But we stopped at the Creation Museum in Kentucky and it was pretty cool, so I figured I’d post some picutres…

 

So we went walking…

It was such a nice friday night, and the promised rain hadn’t arrived yet, so Rachel and I decided to go walking. Yes, walking as in putting one foot in front of the other, the type of thing that Americans don’t do very much of… I decided to bring my camera along to capture some of the more odd moments of our walk… But before we left I wanted to get a measuring wheel, the type that rolls along the ground measuring distances, because I wanted to figure out how many times you have to walk the paths where I work, to make a mile… So I stopped at my brothers shed, and spent ten minutes looking for said elusive wheel. Apparently Rachel was bored and took it upon herself to take pictures of odd objects…

Yeah, encase you are wondering, that is my rearview mirror in above picture… I don’t know, trust me, I don’t know… Anyway, even though my brother promised that said wheel was in his shed, alas it was not, so Rachel, myself, my car, and my camera were the only parties involved on said walking trip… Oh well, some other time. We then traveled the 1.7 miles to my place of work and began walking. We first stopped to take pictures of some yellow flowers, none of them turned out. I decided to take a picture of Rachel

Yeah, so it isn’t the best picture, but hey, I was just playing with my camera so whatever… All went fine on the trip, except for some odd fellow that was powerwalking laps around us, until Rachel got sick. Yeah, it was kinda odd, all of the sudden she said she didn’t feel good, so what did I do, yup I took a picture, and even got her to laugh, go figure…

But then, even after laughing and all, she made me go get my car and come pick her up so that she didn’t have to walk the rest of the way… Yup, she’s that mean

Even though she was sick, she still found energy to take a picture of me coming to pick her up, not sure why… but yup, that is the poor old “Rustang”

And there’s me, like a good little brother… Sorry if the pictures look really weird, the ISO sensitivity was all messed up, anyway, if you thought this post was really dumb, that’s ok, it’s a post right Ok, so maybe I could have done better, but I was getting desperate for something to post, so if you’ve already read this far, you just wasted a good minute or two which you will never get back…

Coming Soon…

Ok, don’t everyone freak out at the fact that I am actually posting something on this pathetic blog of mine. This is just an announcement that tommorow, or some other time this week I am planning on posting something, so keep checking back…

Paul The Critic Pt.4

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Part 4: Stuck in a cafe with Chatterbox and Co.

…Paul was about to let loose is wrath, when a feminine voice behind him said, ‘Hello Paul who are your friends here?”

“Oh! You must be Paul’s sister! How nice, my name is Laura, whats your name? You look like Becky…”

Paul just sat there with his head on his hands, groaning. Would this chatterbox ever shut up and leave him alone? It was bad enough that he had run into her three times, but now she had met his sister, Sarah! Slowly the chatterbox’s grating voice filtered back to him…

“…Oh Sarah you should have seen it today, I just happened to meet Paul on the elevator today. It was a good thing too because our elevator got stuck, and we could have died, but Paul was so brave. Oh this is my husband Darius, isn’t Darius such a cute name? He and I met two years ago on an elevator, isn’t that so romantic? He is such a handsome guy, with such a cute name, kinda like Paul. Don’t you think that Paul is a cute name….

Paul was really starting to get angry, he had been minding his own business in the elevator. He hadn’t asked for any of this, now his sister was getting dragged into it, could it get any worse?

Finally after what seemed like hours to Paul, Laura finally said, “Well, Darius had better get back to work and I have annoyed you enough for one night Paul, bye.” With that Laura and Darius turned to leave. Sarah sat down across the table from Paul, and asked, “What did she mean when she said she had annoyed you enough for one night? Were you mean to her? She seems like a very nice girl.”

“Yeah, a really ditzy one at that…”

“Paul!”

“Hey look, I was stuck in an elevator with her for what seemed like an hour, and then she just had to be sitting next to me in the opera, and made a very embarrasing entrance. And now she shows up at this cafe… I am really started to get annoyed!”

After this Paul and his sister settled in to their normal conversations. Before they knew it the cafe was closing. Paul watched as his sister caught a cab and left. Paul ran out to the edge of the sidewalk and called for a cab, seconds later a common yellow cab pulled up to the sidewalk where he was standing, and he got in.

“4th and Harrison,” Paul mumbled as he shoved $10 at the cab driver.

As the cab weaved in and out of traffic his thoughts drifted back to the events of the day. His nose wrinkled with disgust as he thought of the Chatterbox, before he knew it the cabbie told him they were there. Paul didn’t pay much attention to where he was, he just got out. He had just gotten his foot out of the car when the driver peeled away…
“Moron!” Paul exclaimed as he turned to mount his apartment steps. It was then that he noticed, this wasn’t his neighborhood. He had no clue where he was. “Great! This is just not my day, not only do stuck in an elevator with a chatterbox that ruins the rest of my day, I get stranded somewhere in New York City by some idiot cab driver!” Paul ranted on for several minutes, screaming down the street at anyone who came within earshot of him. Suddenly everything went black… Paul woke up, he had no clue how long he had been out… His head was throbbing, he tried to move his hands, they were tied up, everything was quiet and dark…

Part 5: Paul tied up in a small dark room - will be written by Kluane

Lizard Photo Shoot

Today I got the lizards out for some pictures… Well at least Gerard was willing to come out, Julian on the other hand had many objections, ran away, and sat on his turtle… So anyway I figured I would make a quick post with some pictures of the lizards. The first three are of Gerard the Leopard Gecko, and the last three are of Julian the Bearded Dragon…

The Promised Post

Earlier this week I promised that I would post about my lizards so here goes….

I currently abide with two lizards. One is a Bearded Dragon named Julian, and the Second is a Leopard Gecko named Gerard. Julian is a lively, young lizard, where as Gerard tends to be more calm and easy going. I had kept both lizards in differing sizes of Aquari up till two weeks ago. Julian was starting to get rather large and Gerard had long since outgrown his small 10 gallon aquarium. So I took a trip down to our basement and brought up a monster of a terrarium I had built oh so long ago for my 2 day lizard friend, the Iguana. It was quite a bare terrarium since it had only had a resident for 1 night, so I set to work upgrading it. The first part was to get some scenery. So I threw all advice to the wind and went for a walk in the woods. (You really aren’t supposed to take anything from outside and put it in a lizards cage, everyone says that there are all kinds of diseases on outside objects which will kill your lizards… It’s been two weeks and counting…) I found a couple suitable sticks. I then purchased a couple harmless living plants. I was quite happy with myself and how the cage looked, but something was missing, the flooring. I was using newspaper, which is a good substrate, but it leaves alot to be desired, it just looks cheap. So I took a trip to good old Home Depot and found some suitable carpet. I figured rather than spend $50 on reptile carpet from petco, I would make my own. Don’t worry Tobi, it is the grassy like astro-turf so their claws won’t snag or anything like that… I then moved to Gerard’s terrarium. He is quite a large gecko now, so I upgraded him to the 29 gallon tank that Julian was in, added a little astro-turf, a stick, and a new water bowl. Both lizards were quite scared in their new environments, but I was quite happy with how they looked. To finish it all off I added a stone turtle directily under a basking light to Julian’s terrarium. I also had to add a line of clear scotch tape around the top to keep the crickets from climbing out the top…

 

Gerard’s Terrarium

Julian’s Terrarium… Can you find him?

Lizard Post

Ok folks, don’t quit reading my blog just yet… I do plan on posting in the near future. I have finally finished setting up the cage for my bearded dragon Julian. It is a quite large seeing as I built it myself… So I will have to take pictures and post them, with a little write-up on Julian, So just hang in there, I will post it sometime this week

Spring Day Drive

Yup, it was such a nice day out that I put the top down on the old “Rustang” Mustang. And in honor of me putting the top down my sister and I went on a drive. Horror of all horrors we actually went for a walk at my place of work. It was kinda weird because as I was walking I began to notice everything that I had to do. But nonetheless I still enjoyed it. So we spent an hour or so cruising the backroads with the wind in our hair… So I figured I would post some pictures from out trip. I put one of them as the new header, it was taken where I work. Maybe one of these days I will post more pictures of work…

FYI

Wow, aren’t you all proud of me? Really, I made four posts, in four days! I must be turning over a new leaf… but seriously, I do not plan on posting only stupid, extremely long, drawn out stories. I will try to come up with more interesting things to post about… but If I run out of ideas, I will post another wierd story. If I don’t “The Imposter” might come back… because it can still log into my account, because it would be too much hassle to come up with a new password to use that I wouldn’t forget. So anyway hang in there, I will do my best to post, but hey, If you don’t want to, don’t hang in here… really, it is up to you… G’night…

P.S. There will be a post soon about the lizards, with pictures… of course
