Missing Home

Sunday morning at the old Residence Inn, laundry's done, called Japan, had breakfast. I want to be back home, sad I'm missing out on the summer sci-fi/anime marathons with the guys.

I do watch Shippuden every weekend, via FaceTime which is pretty cool.

 

J&L always re-watch the B5 series, which got me thinking and wandering the web. Here are some favorite shots from the series, via Do Not Thump the Book of G'quan and the League of Non-Aligned Blogs.

 

And here's Candy Wife from The Misadventures of Flapjack, just because... Maybe someday we'll figure out what her head is made of. I imagine it like marzipan.

 

Charleston Sunday

Here are a few pictures from today in Charleston...

 

The picture below was taken by the woman standing next to us waiting to go on the harbour tour, who coincidentally now works at my most recent former employer in Santa Clara, small world. Here I am with fellow contractors from work...

Fort Sumter

 

Flea Market

Florence Flea Market

This place is really big, there is so much stuff here. Hit the link above, there's an aerial view, you could wander for a long time, or until heat stroke set in. Not really anything I'm interested in really; lots of stuff looked like overstock, "discount groceries", cheap clothing, shoes, hats, t-shirts. A few homemade items like jewelry, baked goods. There was a crazy looking bong attached to a full-face gas mask. I saw more Asian people here than anywhere else in town. Several Hispanic produce stands, looked good. Ammo dealers, many, many knives.

I miss the Maku'u Farmer's Market....

 

not gonna spend $ on iPad apps...

that resolve has melted. the app I use to blog is called " blogsy", great product and well worth the price.

this weekend, in a fit, I bought several games on sale, that I had been reading about for awhile. justified it to myself that it was better than succumbing to the call of skyrim or morrowind, which would involve buying a console or computer. it was tempting.

Machinarium. Beautifully drawn, great soundtrack. The puzzles are very good.

 

Superbrothers: Sword and Scorcery EP. Simple beautiful art, great music, lots of walking.

 

Frederic - The Resurrection of Music. Bizarre music game! Resurrected Chopin vs. weird characters in piano duels, funny. Learning Chopin tunes too...

Official Home

Got all the car stuff taken care of, license, registration, notified CA and the insurance. I even registered to vote, that's bold. I now live in Utah. Year 50, 4 the long haul! Here are some pictures of my visit home last weekend.
