The danger that walks among us
Thank you for that musical enlightenment, HJ1. The dulcet electronic tones of one man's insane theme will now haunt my dreams...forever.
But there is one thing that has me sleeping peacefully at night, and that is the knowledge that ourMonkeyMan Commander-in-Chief is vigilantly protecting this glorious nation of ours against the true threat from within: zombies.
In RL news, this week was an insane one in Monterey. Classic Car week brought thousands of crazy car enthusiasts to the peninsula, and lo the streets were flooded with sports cars and antique cars and cars once owned by Elvis and Steve McQueen. We went to the Pacific Grove auto rally, where my favorite sight was a man wearing screaming yellow pants that matched his screaming yellow car. We also hit the main auction Saturday night, where we watched cars going for over $600,000. The day before one of Steve McQueen's old cars fetched over 2 million dollars. Madness!
After all that I needed a break, so I fled into the hills and spent a day at my favorite Zen hot springs retreat, Tassajara. Of course, the drought out here is so severe that the river is almost dry, so there's no refreshing cold plunge at the baths. But who's complaining when you have hot springs to soak in?

8 bits of heaven
In case you needed any more proof that everything's better with Mega Man, please enjoy an 8-bit remix of the meme du jour, Chocolate Rain.

Many days after the day
Better late than never, but in honor of the momentous anniversary of HJ2's birth, I feel I must ask, "Can I borrow your axe?"
And in honor of my soon-to-be-repaired A/C (condenser go boom, HJ1 go homeless), I feel I must ask, "Who with the what, now?"

The day after the day
With the setting and rising of the sun I have entered the final year of my twenties. I was all set to pour forth some deep thoughts on aging and maturity and what it means to be an adult, but was immediately distracted by the NNDB and the discovery that I'm older than both Heath Ledger AND Jake Gyllenhaal. Dear god. How can such a thing be? Inconcievable!
I was treated to a lovely surprise picnic by the gang, who got me to the park under the pretense of a Yellow-billed Loon sighting. Yeah, yeah, I know: NERD. There was a BBQ and cake and it was all simply delightful. Then my cousin and I went to the Aquarium to look at otters, because what's a birthday without adorably fuzzy aquatic mammals?
