Stuff that happend today, I think it's Tuesday

I had just been saying how I would like a subscription to Art Forum, and them, by some miracle/act of divine intervention/coincidence; I received a discounted subscription offer in the mail. Now if I could just have it happen for all of the other magazines I need in my life.

Every time somebody brings food to work everyone makes a point to say "Hey Gabe, look what ___ brought." Then they force me to eat said item.

This is a family of creepy children that we use to attract kids in off the street. It's slightly more subtle than a windowless van.

The nice thing about this sign is that the hours are wrong for all three days.

This is some sort of hot pocket thing that somebody handed me. While I did eat it, I didn't like it.

While at Wal-Mart looking for hot glue and straight pins; I ended up in the Guitar Hero section. I tried to play but the machine was broken or something

I found these sweet iron-on letters. I may have accidentally liberated them from Wal-Mart.

I'm not sure what the purpose of these are. the package said they were good for wall decor. I really don't understand.

Here is Megan avoiding having her soul stolen by the camera.

This is our bountiful picnic. Not pictured here are various bottles of wine, a salami thing, potato salad, cucumber salad with mint lime dressing and another salad that may have been of the chicken or potato variety.

Our seats at the Half Shell concert did not provide much of a view of the stage. This may have mattered if we had cared who was playing.

Christmas comes early/late

This is a plastic rooster that my boss and co-worker stole from a nativity scene.

I like that it still has traces of hot glue from when they pulled it off of whatever it was mounted on.

Who knew that there were holiday getaways related to black diaspora?

Stealing for Jesus

Lucy's pool seems to have expelled it contents.

I drove out to The Sandy to go fishing.

All the signs pointed in contradictory directions. So, I drove around in circles.

I eventually found a body of water, attempted to catch fish, lost lures, and blamed my lack of success on some noisy dogs splashing in the water near by.

On my way "back" I stopped at a lake/reservoir. While I did not loose any lures here, I also didn't catch any fish. I was eventually chased away by a pack of angry ducks.

At some point I realized that Roseburg has plenty of fishing. So, while I'm in Portland I should be doing city things.

This bumper sticker said something like; 3 nails, 2 logs, 1 Jesus, 0 fun. or maybe it said something else, I'm not sure.

Wherever I had ended up was not really anywhere near where I had planned to be.

On my way back to Portland I stopped at various thrift stores and stole things when I felt the prices were too high.

While these strikers with "witty sayings" are extremely un-funny. I do like the trashy-butterfly-lower-back-temporary-tattoos.

This thrift store was warehouse filled with mediocre crap. I did get a shirt that is not dissimilar from a shirt I already own. They also had an organ similar to one of the organs I have, only less good. They were trying to get like $200 for it. Like hell I say.

At a Goodwill or Salvation army I found a wood burning kit (wood burning is a hobby that society has, for the most part, decided is stupid. The kit comes with a soldering iron (wood burner), some patterns (there was one of people playing football, now that wood look awesome burned into a piece of wood!), and scraps of wood and leather (wood burners also work as leather burners). Anyway, I wont go into why I know so much/anything about wood burning, but inside the kit I found a scrap of leather that someone had burned the name Scarlet into, I think it was determined to be a failure because someone had gotten a little overzealous on the A. I decided that if anyone were to buy the kit they, most likely, would not want the Scarlet, so, I took it.

At the Goodwill I found a Pat Benatar tape with Love is a Battlefield and Hell is for Children on it and The Breakfast Club soundtrack. Goodwill (who are well known for their price gouging) was charging $2 a tape. Like hell I say. So I payed for one and stole the other.
