slow news week
Not a lot going on here this week. Well, other than a chicken going AWOL in my neighborhood.
I plan on at least a few shenanigans in the coming week, though.

Dear Jenny,
Happy belated birthday! I didn’t manage to get a card in the mail in time so I took some pictures for you instead. I know you declared beardwhore09 to be over and even though I strongly suspect the other contestant was heavily doping with Rogaine throughout the whole competition I won’t make a big stink about it since it’s, you know, your birthday and stuff. Anyway, since you also asked that beardwhore be replaced with pornstache, I took some pictures to document the process.
First, I let the condemned beard have one last smoke. I told my family I was taking the beard to live with a nice family in the country where it could run free and play.
Then I began the shearing. The beard put up more of a fight than I anticipated so I had to sedate it.
I didn’t know quite what to do with pornstache, so I had to improvise. I think this ought to do the trick:
And, even though you didn’t specifically ask for it this time, practically the entire time that I’ve known you you’ve tried to get me to sport a John Waters microstache, so I trimmed down pornstache a bit until I came up with a reasonable approximation.
I hope you like your mustache photos, since I have now gone over my quota for posting pictures of myself for the next six months.
Love lots,
-Vahid
I still maintain that the best solution to our economic crises is to drink our way out of this recession. Last night, I did my part to pitch in.
So today, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t speak quite so loudly. Thank you.
If you’ve only got a handful of hours on either side of a movie to play tourist, you’ve got to move quickly to see as much as you can. Seattle complicates things by having really confusing streets, although if you’re using sheer volume of things seen as a metric then Seattle helps you out by having far more stuff than is rational or necessary.
For example, they have far more used gum than anyone else.
And while they may not have ALL OF THE CHEESES, those cheeses which are represented are available by the box full.
Like guitars? They have PLENTY of guitars in Seattle.
Hand written manuscripts? Piles of them.
Are underground vice dens more your speed? Because Seattle has those.
And beautiful cloud free days that let you see all the way to the horizon? Well, actually, those can be rare, so seize the day when they come around.
And despite the presence of the occasional unshaven curly-haired vagrant on the beach, Seattle seems like an amazingly cool city, and I can’t believe I’ve only been there twice in my many years of living in the PacNW. I hear the summers up there are pretty sweet, so I imagine I’ll have to go back and hunt around some more.
