New House

Had the inspection today, went smoothly. All that's left is the appraisal. As long as that comes in above our purchase price it is a done deal.

Oh. My. God.

God Bless Capatalism. God Bless it I say.

Don't you just love the British?

Franti and Playstation?

Just saw this on TV and was a bit suprised.

WA # 3 for Ninjas

That's right losers.
We on the west Search for Ninjas more than you guys.

Regardless of that. You should check this out. It's so damn cool, that I bet some of you probably already know about it:

Damn Oregon gets number one for "space monkey" searches.
The author searching is really cool. Southerners like "Faulkner" are mainly in the south, but then the german "rilke" is searched most in Alaska. What the hell? They look into one of the most influential modern german imagist poets?
For most of the author searches there is is black whole in the middle north. I guess ranchers in Montana still don't have CPUs.
The distribution for Vonnegut is bland, but the timeline feature shows a huge spike of searches in the year of his death. They love artists when they're dead.
The Coen Brothers in 2004 (that's as early as it goes) when we knew they were the shit before everyone else, were dominated by New York and very few searches even happened. Now the whole country is on the band wagon.

Not an Ego thing. Just a new experience.

Slowly turning in a circle in the cafe, I had a slight grin. I was holding a hammer. And this old dude stood next to me. He said, "Are you the artist?"
"Yes."

So far 29 isn't that different from 28
