I did warn you

doodle

We didn't get much in the way of snow this winter. There were a few weeks of terrible coldness--it may have been too cold to snow.

It's almost the weekend again. We're off to NYC for the holiday. Depending on my mood (and doodling output), you may be Horrible free for a few days next week. I'm sure the three of you that read this will somehow survive.

Is there that big of a difference between drunk and genius?

. . . not that I would know on either account.

The sunny and seventy degree weather did not last. It's warm and rainy today. I guess I can live with the every-other day good weather rule.

It's safer for you if I stay here

An early morning in another beautiful day.

This Horrible was inspired from this animation background from Pocahantas via Animation Backgrounds.

So different yet so similar

doodle

The posting of this Horrible is rather appropriate.

Sorry for the late post. You should expect another late post tomorrow as well. The weather outside is climbing close to 70 again. I love Spring (except when it's rainy and cold).

Need more quests

Ah, Borderlands, it feels like it's been such a long time since Julie, Steven, and I visited its dystopic world. Besides an occassional dip into the tried and true Horde mode in Gears of War 2, Borderlands was the last serious video game we played. That's something we're hoping to remedy one of these days when someone ships a decent three-player co-op game.

Saturday creeped into the seventies while Sunday teased us with sunshine followed by Houston-style rainstorms. It was a long, relaxing weekend filled with the doodling of too many Horribles, and a startling lack of Naginata (thanks to the Mercer Island Rotary Half Marathon).

It's time I return to my own planet

A perfect Horrible for a wonderful Friday. See you next week!

I'm mentally preparing

This is not one of my better Horribles. A colleague saw this on my desktop and thought it was NSFW until I explained what it was supposed to be.

I'm sick of conflict

Regrettably I do conflict for a living.

I need to stand on my head more often. More blood = smarter.

I can't stand Three's Company's moments

I'm looking at you, Californication! We watched the first season of this show, but I vetoed watching more episodes because of the annoying situations the characters found themselves in. Yes, I know terrible things are going to happen when everyone finds out the truth. Just please, for the love of everything television worthy, don't stretch out the period between when the audience finds out and when the characters do.

This was a nice, fun-filled weekend. The clocks jumped forward, and Julie and I both passed our Naginata exams. It's almost sunny this morning, and I expect good things this week. Good things.

Sometimes it is the simple things

The blues passed quickly after a good night of Naginata. A bit headachy this rainy morning, but nothing that a bit of caffeine a possible Advil won't solve.

I only look happy

The rain has returned and with it the blues. I love how my life is controlled by storm systems.

Show me something

We didn't sleep well last night. Not sure if it was the cold, the dryness, or the muscle aches from Naginata. Either way there was much tossing and/or turning.

There's something about me

doodle

It's cold in Seattle. Not sure what happened but people yesterday claimed to have seen snow. In March. Today is sunny but still cold. I guess Spring will have to wait a few more days.

I have so many other talents

And, regrettably, jumping rope is not one of them. I really have to start drawing better hands. I have a book on it and everything. All I need to do is read it.

Back to my normally scheduled queue.

As I left work yesterday, the warm rain smelled of Spring. I want to thank Winter this year. She has been quite mild.

Sorry for the late update. We hosted a group of high school students this morning. They did a mock negotiation of the type I normally do at work. I'm worried that maybe I'm a bit more replaceable than I suspected.

I intended to post my Olympics Horrible, but I can't find the energy to write about the experience. This one needs fewer words.

This was inspired from this cartoon background found in this collection of Pocahontas (1985) backgrounds.
