Short posts due to not wishing to be overly wordy about an item or simply about, or a link to, another site on the interwebs.
Water Everywhere
In celebration of all the damn rain we have had around these parts over the past week, I decided to upload some pictures of waterfalls. I took these on a trip to Portland Oregon the Summer of 2002. There are numerous waterfalls along the Columbia River Highway which runs the Columbia River Gorge. I picked some of the best shots and created a photoset in my flickr photostream. You can leave comments here or on the pictures at flickr.
This kind of water beats it flowing into your basement any day. I have to pee now…
Superman Returns Trailer
If you haven’t seen the new trailer, do yourself a favor and watch it right now. Don’t worry, the crappy blog will still be here if you come back…
Happy Birthday Chatham
I’m a little late with her birthday tribute since it was on the 12th. Ed told me it was the 13th. Anyway, this will no doubt add fuel to the fire that I don’t like Chats, which is far from the truth. Chats is definitely the Ying to Abby’s Yang or however that works. She’s a great pup and I lover her too. I posted a few pictures to my flickr photostream to continue this emerging tradition. She’s tougher to photograph than Abby just because her black coat absorbs all the light. I have some good ones, but once again, the lead photo in Ed’s post trumps any of mine.
Halo 3 Trailer
Well, I finally was able to watch the trailer just now. My Media Player was barfing on it last night. There’s a MS joke there, but that’s not the point. The point is, I just had chills as I watched the trailer. The same thing happened when I watched the Halo 2 trailer from E3. I predict another week’s vacation to play this one too…
PJ Part Deux
Well, not really… in fact, maybe it is Part Tres? Whatever… I said I’d update you on Pearl Jam and here it is: nothing has changed for me. In fact, I realized my first listen to most discs is spot-on for me, so extended listening doesn’t really help its case. I have listened to it about five more times and “Severed Hand,” “Army Reserve” and “Inside Job” are the standouts for me. “Comatose,” “Unemployable,” “Gone” and “Come Back” are good. The rest is either okay or not. That’s more than half the disc mentioned and my rank does change. It’s their fifth best and closer to Yield than Binaural. I moved it up a spot because my second listens of “Severed Hand” and “Army Reserve” warranted it. I might be contradicting my open, but screw it.
Happy Birthday Colin
Today is Colin’s third birthday. Colin is Ed’s son and he has posted a nice entry on his blog to mark the occasion. I have posted some of my favorite pictures I have taken of Colin over the past three years to my flickr photostream. I figured I couldn’t commemmorate Abby’s birthday without also doing the same for Colin! Next up is Aria I suppose, unless Chatham is in the middle. Busy month for birthday’s in the Humphries household…
Gouge Me 1 More Time
Joe just alerted me to this item on usatoday.com. As he says, “Looks like Lucas needs another influx of cash.” Great, now I have to buy the original Star Wars triology for the fourth time to get the versions I really want. I don’t know about the need for cash, but to say he didn’t change his mind is bull.
Spamalot
I got my first spam comment today, but the Akismet plug-in ate it for me. Yeah me! It was for some wood inducing blue pill… If I remember correctly, the first one Ed got was for on-line gambling. So, I need help with wood and he needs to gamble. I’d rather have his problem…

The Future is Hot
When you read things like this, it should make you stop and think about becoming a tree-hugger. It also makes you realize that those of us who consider ourselves pretty smart, aren’t so smart because there are people in the World so much smarter than you and they work on things that matter. It’s too bad we’ll never make it to that Star Trek Utopia on Earth deal. Well, maybe we will if we blow ourselves up first too…
