I Come From the Land of the Ice and Snow

Here are all the photos I took of the half-inch ice coating that was on… everything yesterday and this morning.

This Is New For Me

So the snow is still here, but it’s developed a new trick: the top layer of the snow has melted, fused, and then re-frozen, forming an incredibly thick crust of ice on top of the seven inches of snow.

In places this crust is up to a full inch thick

In a few spots it is actually thick enough to support my weight so that I am actually standing on TOP of the snow.

This is a new experience for me.

Seven Inches

Last Hurrah of Colorful Lights

Yesterday I finally took down the exterior Chrissymiss lights, the last vestiges of the holidays. It was a bit sad to see them colorful lights go back into the garage.

Fortunately, the sky had its own colorful lights yesterday to make up for it:

Now that’s a sunset.

20/20 Vision of Three Ninjas & Tangentbot

Chris — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:04:02 +0000

Remember when I posted about how famous my pal Jason is? Well, he just keeps gettin’ more and more famouser.

After his appearance on the Today Show, that TV show 20/20 flew him back to New York to interview him. And they lubbed him so much they actually agreed to fly a film crew out to Seattle to film him performing his musics as Three Ninjas.

So @NatheLawver and @tacomachickadee and picked me up and we drove the 40 minutes up to West Seattle to see Three Ninjas & Tangentbot (and special guest Pop Star Shannon O’Brien) perform their tiny open-mic set at the Skylark Café with a 20/20 film crew filming it, then we drove all the way back to Tacoma.

Total drive time was 1hr 20min. Total show time was approx 20 minutes.

TOTALLY WORTH IT.

So there’s a slim chance that I might appear on a soon-to-air episode of 20/20 in an audience reaction shot. No biggie.

Peanut Tweeter

We all know that Twitter is kind of a place where you can blow off steam. You can say stuff you normally (probably) wouldn’t say in polite company. It tends to get a bit inappropriate and/or profane.

So what happens when you take some really funny tweets, then find some appropriate panels from old Peanuts comic strips, and then replace the dialogue in the panels with the funny tweets?

COMEDY GOLD, THAT’S WHAT.

Also, one of my new favorite websites, Peanutweeter!

Warning, much of it (like much of Twitter) is NSFW.
