The Puppy

As many of you may already know, Ali and I got a puppy. Here is Izzy:

Killin' Trees

So I decided to get my ass moving on some yard work. At the top of my list, the tree area in my backyard. It was out of control and had to be stopped.

After:

Strangely Funny

Ali and I went to see Brian Posehn at the Houston Improv. He was really funny, tall.

It's Britney, Bitch!

I was pulled to a Britney Spears concert for my beloved girlfriend. The things I do for her...

1st of May!

So I had a chance to see Paul & Storm perform with THE Jonathan Coulton over at the House of Blues, Houston. The show was absolutely glorious!


Jonathan Coulton acoustically kicking ass.


Paul & Storm join JoCo on stage for a great set of songs.

My Visit to Kennedy Space Center

So I recently had to go to Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on business and managed to get a private tour of the facility. Here are some pics (I took almost 1000 pics) that I liked.




The Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) where the Orbiter is assembled with the solid rocket boosters and external fuel tank.


Here is the space shuttle Discovery on the launch pad. The External Fuel Tank is clearly visible.


In the foreground is the site of the Apollo 1 fire that killed astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee. In the background, a launchpad being used by the United Launch Alliance.


This plaque is on the remnants of the Apollo 1 site.


Some of the native wildlife at the cape.


I took this picture, only to notice a few days later that this bird had a huge fish in it's claws.

I'm a Baaaaaaaad Blogger

Ok ok ok... I have missed a few days of posting here. I have had a few things happen that I documented with my camera. I will post some soon, so stay tuned!

Fajita Night!

My girlfriend made the tastiest fajitas evah!

Or as I call it, Saturday!

The Reports of my Death have been Greatly Exaggerated

I caught a nasty flu/cold this past week and had little energy to even try to post an update. I'm much better now (around 70%) and hope to resume my pic posting immediately.

Kahlifourneea

I have a ton of California pics from my last trip. I love the coast...

Om Nom Nom

I gave many pics from my Santa Barbara trip I have yet to post. Here
is the best hamburger evah (though Five Guys still have the best fries.)

It Finally Got Decorated!

Since my girflriend, Ali, moved in, she has been succesesfully decorating our house.

I'm Not THAT Competetive

I only play this game because my girlfriend plays it and I have a
higher high score :)

Game Time!

No picture today, just enjoy the football!

Mah Bukkit

Yup, they sell it by the bucket now.

Fly Away Home

Bye, L.A. Hello Houston!

The View

Santa Barbara. 'Nuff Said.

Santa Barbara: Part 2

Looking away from the ocean, you see this huge picturesque mountainside. The brown patches are from the fires.

Santa Barbara

The view from the front of my hotel. I can see why people want to live here...

Pair of Dice

This week I will post pictures of California starting with the view
from my hotel in Santa Barbara.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Bye, Houston. See you very soon!

Blurry Milestone

I don't know if this counts. It had 24k when I bought it.

And The "Not My Job" Award Goes To...

C'mon, could they have at least moved the leaf just a little?

It's All Fun & Games

Playing Madden 09 trying to get into the playoffs. C'mon Cowboys, don't fail me (again).

I Was Part of the Inaugural Parade... Sorta

So the NASA SPR (which I mentioned beforehand here) is a lunar rover for the next generation. It was a part of the inaugural parade for President Obama, and here I am sitting in the driver's seat.

I Can See!

So here I am with my new glasses! So nice to be able to see!

Not So Hot in the City Tonight

So I went to check out what savings I could find at my local Circuit
City. Nothing too impressive, but the do have Guitar Hero for 20% off...

Happy New Year!

Yea, I know it's a little late but I got a great present! My boss did my annual review and I was very happy with the result. Plus, he brought me a bottle of scotch. Why would I want to work anywhere else? And yea, we put a bit of a dent into the scotch...

Fresh & Clean

Just finished washing my car. Her name is Sally.

Geek Night!

Finally watching Galactica for the first time in HD on my 67" tv. It was amazing.

For Those Cold Houston Winters

Yes, it does get cold here! This morning there was frost on my car. FROST, I TELL YOU!

Strange Fruit

So the tree behind my house has some berries on it. Probably poisonous, I'll check on the next door neighbor's dog.

He's No Billy Mays!

Here is the sham-wow douche bag in another commercial. He has that
face that you just want to punch.

Full of Fish and Finger Pies

I just saw the film Across the Universe and it reminded me of the joy
I feel when listening to Beatles music. I then found this sign in one
of my many boxes (yes, I still have stuff in boxes) and I wonder where
I should hang it. Ideas?
