Yeah, I know I’m a little late to the party blogging this, but I thought this was pretty good footage of the Trojan nuclear power plant being destroyed: Trojan implosion on YouTube. There’s not much more to be said on Trojan (check out some of the latest news); I never knew much about the plant,… Continue reading Trojan crumbling

Shannon’s quote this week
I had to wait a bit, but Shannon’s got another quote of the week: “i think i need some higher goals in life like buying a house or putting money away for retirement but for now, i just want to be a dancing bunny.”
10 Commandments… remixed
I’ve been liking the remixed movie trailers I’ve been seeing lately, but this one made me laugh tonight: 10 Things I Hate About Commandments. Someone’s remixed the Charlton Heston movie as a teen comedy… I especially like the surprise addition to the cast at the end. 🙂 Via Boing Boing.
Our trip to Eugene
This is sort of like those “How I spent my summer” essays—did anyone ever really have to write those? Anyway… The main purpose of our day trip to Eugene was to visit one or several of the children’s stores they have over there that specializes in kid beds; our four-year-old is soon to turn five… Continue reading Our trip to Eugene
Eugene day trip tomorrow
Tomorrow we’re off to Eugene for a day trip. We doing some kids bed shopping, and will likely stop at the Steelhead Brewing Company (fodder for The Brew Site) for lunch and beer. Likely it’ll be a decent trip. It’s supposed to be 71 in Eugene tomorrow, so that’s good.

Growing Up in Central Oregon: Introduction
This is a series I’ve been mulling over for a while now and even at one point promised Simone I would write. I’ve been wanting to write it partly because I think the perspective of growing up in rural Central Oregon is unique, and partly because I think there’s some good stories to tell. So… Continue reading Growing Up in Central Oregon: Introduction
I forgot!
I’m pretty sure I had something cool I wanted to blog about today, but for the life of me I can’t remember what it was. I’m having a Moment. In the meantime, enjoy Shannon’s latest quote of the week: “i wish i knew how to roller blade and could beat up people because i’d totally… Continue reading I forgot!
What happens if Jack Bauer doesn’t like me anymore?
Since it’s 24 night, I thought I’d share this quote I thought was hilarious (emphasis mine): As an actor, you want to be loved or liked, and when the guy you’re playing suddenly turns evil, you feel marginalized. It sounds silly to verbalize, but you start thinking, ‘What happens if Jack Bauer, America’s avenging angel,… Continue reading What happens if Jack Bauer doesn’t like me anymore?
