Bigger Pictures, Smaller Title

Recently I've been increasing the degree to which I use my blog as a photoblog, and I started getting a little frustrated that the images I post were smaller than I wanted. So, I decided to just start posting bigger images. You can always click on them and hop over to my flickr page, see versions up to sizes you could use as desktop backgrounds, etc.... but from today forward the images will be slightly larger on the blog itself. So enjoy being able to see slightly more detail right from the start. It's been fun doing a little more with pictures, and I'm hoping to keep it up. Don't be surprised, however, if it dies down a bit next week when I go on vacation. I've got no real blog plans for beach time. Much rather say... spend that time out on the beach!

An Ode to Randomness

thanks for not doing what you are doing, originally uploaded by Chambo25.

I like randomness just as much as the next guy... ok, perhaps a bit more than the next guy. Anyway, whatever the next guy thinks of it, I'm a huge fan.

Over the weekend we were at a local shopping center where I encountered the delicious irony of the sticker on this trash can. Thank you for not overfilling? Littering? WOW! Eureka, if the irony weren't potent enough, I think the dramatic splatter of the orange liquid (is it juice? is it a smoothy of some sort? Is it even organic?) drives it all home.

Moving on, last night was another study in randomness, starting innocently enough with a trip out to grab pizza with Lyndsey, her coworker Liz, and Liz's husband Tim. The pizza was great (always nice to discover a new good pizza joint), we had a good discussion of movies we need to revisit soon (Spaceballs, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Encino Man... ok, maybe not so much on Encino Man)... and then the plan was to meet up with Jill for a drink.

Well, hours later we were hanging out and talking to a local musician about how he has tried to steer clear of the mafia, how he wants to move to Asheville, NC, and upcoming gigs. All-in-all, it was an enjoyable and bizarrely unplanned evening.

Hooray for randomness, irony, music, and Spaceballs.

Happy Wednesday!
