To be fair, I was really, really tired. According to Liz, I was sleeping like this for a solid hour. :|

But if the Fortune Cookie Says It, It Must Be True…
Got Chinese food for lunch today, and this was my fortune. Omen? Or just plain luck? In any event, it’s nowhere near as cool as this one. // Edit: It’s a day later, and the drawing happened last night. // Dang.

I Got Mentioned on BoingBoing… Again? Rehi, BB!

Exteriors and Reminders: Photos from a Day of Shopping
Shopping around downtown today, I spotted this rather colorful exterior as we were driving down Jackson. Unable to jump out and get to the other side of the street… I opted to open up the car sunroof to snap a quick shot. The colors were pretty great, and this photo doesn’t do it justice (nor …
