I took this photo earlier this evening from the roof of my apartment building along with a few others. This place has a pretty good view of the city which should be nice for fireworks tomorrow. :-)
I am in the process of settling into my new home having all sorts of adventures but this one tonight is stupid enough to deserve a blog post. It turns out if I turn my air conditioner on the coldest setting and let it run for a day it tends to turn into a block of ice. The photo below was taken just a few minutes ago during the thaw process, and this is after an hour and scraping some off.
I am in the process of cleaning out all my stuff so I can move to Boston with a fairly minimal car load. I tend to collect all sorts of random things over the years which makes this process a bit difficult. (Why on earth do I have my pogs from elementary school?) On the up side I’ve found a few amusing things in the process. One such item is below. Way back when during my freshman year a couple girls compiled these “Rules of Engagement” and presented them to a group of guys including myself in a meeting of sorts. And yes, it does in fact start off with a quote from “Mystery Science Theater 3000.”
I just got back from spending the weekend at the beach with a couple of my friends. We had a great time, go go summer! After spending last weekend with my family, half the week in Portland for OSCON, and now this weekend at the beach I haven’t actually been in Corvallis much this past week. :-) Oh, and I’ve posted some photos.
I’ve finally gotten around to posting my photos from Ecuador. Perhaps I’ll write more about the trip some day but for now feel free to browse through them. :-)
