Legally Bland

Judging from this photo, I’m either on my way to a rave or I’m still busy doing projects around the house. Hopefully next week will give me a break from the home improvement marathon I’m currently running. That’s not to be confused with a Home Improvement marathon you might see on TBS. Oh Tim, your pratfall power tool shtick never seemed so poignant as it does today.

Alright, so I’ve been super busy lately with baby prep, but I can always take time out to get disgusted with my fellow man. As anyone that knows me well can attest, I have a long list of pet peeves. Chief among said pet peeves are those in the “Men’s Room” category. In the first picture below you’ll see the sink in the men’s room with a stack of paper towels. It’s really simple; when you wash your hands (assuming you do), you simply take a paper towel and dry your hands. So what exactly is going on in the second picture taken later in the afternoon? How can you so badly screw up such a simple process?! I should also add that this is not an isolated event and you can usually find this same scene on any given day of the week. Maybe one of my fellow employees has a crab claw for a hand, in which case I apologize. I’m sure living with a crab claw can be difficult in a society where most restrooms are not crab claw accessible. However, I feel this is a simple case of ass-headedness and could be cured by simply cleaning up after yourself.

Most of you have seen this at some point, but in the interest of adding more garbage to the web I’ve uploaded it to YouTube. I did this four or five years ago, but it still delights the souls of both young and old.

If you’ve been in our house, you may remember that closed door next to the bathroom on the second floor. Behind the door is a dilapidated room that will have to be the nursery in just a few short months. There were things in this room that were (luckily) not found anywhere else in the house. On the list to be removed/repaired are the disintegrating drop ceiling hiding crumbling plaster, the paneled walls covered with wallpaper, and the poorly laid baseboards. You can see from the video that I’ve got a couple of weeks of work ahead of me.

In keeping with the current theme, here are three links which I’ve been meaning to share:

Rainbow Gallery - Very nice shots of some unusual rainbows.

Storms - Amazing, beautiful, frightening storm photos.

Hummer Nest - Photos of the hatching and early development of two humming birds. These are amazing, and the kicker is the scale reference at the end.
