This Orange

Since I wait forever to finish this I can’t remember whats what from my trip I will give anecdotal highlights, and some random images!

Day Two

I managed to not kick the Archivist in the head while I was sleeping. This is quite and accomplishment according to my host. (Sometimes I’m a huge sleep flailer.) We ate some leftover pan-asian food and headed out to try and see the National Archives!

Here is the Archivist – ready to tourist up this joint.

Testing new toys.

On my furcation (furlough + vacation) during the first week of march, I ran off to Washington D.C. for a long weekend. Since the default wordpress gallery software hates me, and wouldn’t let me make multiple gallery sets, or un-attach already uploaded images, this took a bit longer to put together than expected. There will be later posts with more. >.< Due to some surprise!madness! my host was in a rush to get me from the airport back to her place. She had an unexpected flight to catch to Atlanta for a meeting the next morning. I was whisked through some of Virginia(BROWN road signs? WTF!), across the river and hauled up through a basement to an apartment, where I was pointed to the door keys, and the fridge - with its many takeout menus - and left alone in a strange apartment. This is where I had the joy of letting everyone know I wasn't lost in some random airport in the wrong state via a handy cell phone I just happen to carry with me everywhere.

Here is a lovely view of the basement!

The BASEMENT.

I have one dreamwidth invite left if anyone is interested!

Happy Halloween!

A few more photos from the stack uploaded. Below is the highlights, jump over to deviantart for the rest!

Updated my deviantart gallery with some photos from the last 10 months…
(Haven’t even made a dent on my ‘to upload’ stack. -_-;; )


Also, a video of otters, I saw ottering on the Temperance River. Otters! @ flickr

I really don’t know how software devs handle working on the same thing for so long.  I’ve been working on this one pieces of a large project at work, and I’ve been practically going cross eyed.  Today I was given a bit of a break(a different part had more priority, and needed some extra hands) and got moved over to @qrevolution ‘s section of the project.  It was refreshing. Something new.  Working on the same thing for so long, it gets harder to keep perspective.

I’m also all ready for the SNOW that is supposed to happen this weekend.  Even acquired some snow boots for the first time in years. Before that happens though, anyone know any good places in MN close to the Twin Cities for taking fall photos?  Or getting pumpkins?  Planning a field trip this weekend.

Also, I’m watching Ghost Hunters right now, and …MEATLOAF is on it.  O.o Good show Mr. Loaf.

Roommate #1 got me watching TV.  Just finished glee.  so goofy.  I can’t look away.  Plus, NCIS, Bones, soon sgu, house.  I don’t really know how people watch all this.

Also, ask me about the stickies!  Found this nifty stickies on  webpages app.  I’ll link you to the land of stickies.  Take a glance at its home here: http://websticki.es/

Now, back to setting up something clever…

Going camping!  It’s gong to be awesome.  Also, being on vacation and not having to worry about moving will be great.  (Even if that wasn’t a ‘real’ vacation.   I was going to take it off regardless.)

Also, here are some photos from the storm this weekend:

There is more to come – as well as more at deviantart. Go ahead and take a look.
