This 3 foot tall sunflower finally bloomed, I hope I get some seeds to eat and save to plant more of them next season.

Activity Universal Associates

I went to the farmers market up in St. John's this morning and there was a band called Activity Universal Associates playing on the stage. It was the oddest band I'd ever seen. The video isn't good, I totally cut out the guitar player, but I was more interested in the sound machine the other guy is playing. He use this white card that starts to slide on this machine and makes a series of sounds, then when he slides it back it repeats. He had a couple different kind of cards with different music on them.



This is the only link I could find about them.

Dad's New Undies

Okay, so a little setup for this one: it's my birthday yesterday and I'm driving my Dad and Stepmom all over. We go to the Mississippi District so they can see the table I want to build at the Rebuilding Center. I took them all the way down Albina from my place, slowing down to see the rose garden at Penninsula Park and all that. Come up to Skidmore Street, which is pretty much where the Mississippi shite is all popping off. Dad decides that he's going to create a line of lingerie geared toward the wiping challenged male...called Skidmore's! The tagline will be: "Hi, I'm Bob (my Dad's name) Skidmore and are you tired of your wife nagging you about your underwear always having skid marks, well have I got the thing for you. Bob Skidmore's skidmore underwear!"

God, he kills me!!

Other lines for the commercial: "Honey, are my skidmore's clean?"

Took the 'Rents to the salt shop(pe) on Misisip "This salt is making me thirsty!" and then Amnesia brewing "Can't remember now where we were going~?" Beat that Jason!

Then burgers and beers at Wine Down off Burnside, that burger is amazing!
