Experimentation

Some kind of "log cabin" design?

But first:

Finish your three works-in-progress!

His 'n' hers

iPhones!

We finally got them.

Well, well, well

Looks to me like the makings of a delicious sandwich.

It is reassuring

To know that there are other nerds out there.

Thots?

Greg

Master bookshelf carpenter.



Six feet by five feet—this is just the top half! Made completely from scrap wood.

It's mostly fiction, and I decided to arrange it in alphabetical order by author, with separate sections for graphic novels/comic strip collections, non-belles lettres nonfiction (ie, self-help, crochet books, kayaking books, the bible), children's and young adult books, and "weirdo" books (more on this later).

It is so great to have all the books off the floor! (We had quite a few stacks on the rug before.)

We are almost living like "normal" people.

Previously overlooked pumpkin seed!

Down the hatch.

Remember Manuel

From Fawlty Towers? He speaks English, he learned it from a book?

I learned something from a book too:

Magical seamless granny-square-joining technique!!

It's time consuming but SO WORTH IT.

At the cafe

An excellent photograph of pancakes. (They don't sell pancakes.)

Finished!

It awaits the birth of Heather and Aaron's baby!

Put it to good use, guys.

Found

Introduction to Economics Economics Economics Economics Economics Economics.

It's from 1977.

Oh noooooooo!

What happened??!



Poor little guy.

The truck driver said he came out and found him like that.

Greg says

I am like a parrot that can read.

Due to I like to read all the road signs out loud when we drive together.



But I think I'm more like a squirrel that knows how to use a straw.

What's for dinner?

Some . . . macaroni thing.

Sunday

Sidewalk cat!





I hope you like pettin'.

National Take Your Pancakes to Work Day

I participated this year!

Apparently

I took my earrings off in my sleep and laid them neatly by my pillow.

Blog Lomblad

Featuring my arm (big watch, of course) and my mysterious parcel.

Man!

I miss the woodpile we had in the hall at our old apartment.

Our new place is too small. Which sucks because this is basically the best board EVER:





Greg even agreed.

Disturbing encounter

Under the highway.

Just one

Of the short stack of AMAZING books I found tonight!



I cannot look at this without giggling.

Delivery

To my office today.

This book Greg ordered:





The journal of Richard Henry Dana, Jr., during his two years as a sailor—in 1834–36!

And it's illustrated!



"A ship is like a lady's watch, always out of repair."

Good choice, Greg.

FOUND!

It's, like, the exact twin!

Except plastic.

November 1

Down with jack-o'-lantern and witch.



Up with Pilgrims and turkey!

Found

Your wig.

Found tonight

In a bag on the sidewalk:



Ambivalent snowman.

It's a magnet!



And this thing:



It's a . . . hot mess.

Special-needs adoption

Horsey with bedbugs seeks loving home.

(Next to this pile were two big mattresses wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape. UGH-H-H-H!)

Getting dressed

AWWWW yeah.



Found six bucks in my jeans.

Hey little dude

You look worried!





Can't say I blame you.

They're the best . . . from the nest!



Yep, you don't want to be hanging around a bunch of chickens without a hat, gloves, and proper footwear. (It also helps if you're drunk.)
