Good-bye Kellie - from the closet american idol fan

Ah, I guess the American public isn't easily fooled after all. Oh Kellie, we can tell you've been playing that "dumb" role all this time. But you're not funny anymore, so you needed to go. It was painful to watch your last performance and I must say it was very dull. You were supposed to sing a love-song and it seemed to me that you haven't been in love. I didn't sense the passion, it felt like you had an uninspired heart.

Good-bye Kellie and good luck to all your future Hollywood endeavors.

Leprechauns

On our way back from Gualala, we saw the end of a double rainbow. I mean, I've never seen the end of a rainbow much less two rainbows. I thought there might be a leprechaun party over the end of the rainbow, you know, with a pot of gold. But since there were two rainbows then maybe I thought we'd find two pots of gold. Then I thought, maybe this is really one of a kind and we'd find lots and lots of pots of gold. To my dismay there weren't any. We only found sheeps.


Brandi took this lovely picture and I showed it off at work.








My cube neighbor Maria informed me though that this picture is actually not of two rainbows but of one rainbow - and the other one was its reflection. Note the color scheme is reverse on the weaker one. Thanks a lot Maria. I can't wait to pop one of your bubbles. She then asked, "you weren't expecting to find a pot of gold were you?"

Enchanted Garden

Iggy killed the backyard. Then, the non-stop rain fed the unwanted weeds and now has taken over the backyard. The once lush grass lawn is now a mudpit. I'm going to try to fix it though. I plan to find my hybernated green thumb and do a makeover with a budget of... hmmmm... I say 300 of rent deductable dollars. I'll give myself 2-3 months.

This is the "before" picture. Actually, this is the now picture.













Note the white-trash-ish ladder and the folding chair doubling as Iggy fence. The once beautiful lemon tree that fell victim to the non-stop rain, the once blossoming bougainvillea that now looks like an ungroomed and balding old man and the runaway bamboo shoots that looks like unkept eyebrows. And the perpetrator... Iggster. There are many treasures in there - the rose bushes, birds of paradise, rosemary, mexican sage, fragrant jasmine and plenty of other forgotten but not dead adorable plants.

This is what I envision the backyard to be when I'm done, taken from Sunset Magazine.



Wish me luck! Here's crossing my green thumbs.

Free!!!

Brandi and I saw this "free toilet" on the side of the road on route 1 on our way to Gualala. I mean, obviously someone had a pretty funny sense of humor. Who would pick-up such a gross thing. Anyway, I had to make a U-turn and come back to take the picture. She said, I can always take the picture the next day.

The next day, the "free toilet" was gone.

Apollo

Dear Apollo (aka the Sun God),

Give us five days of these and I promise to slay all the weeds in my backyard. .. and the slugs.

Us

This is Brandi and I. Brandi has the most beautiful eyes. This picture was taken in Yosemite Valley while we were trying to nap in the middle of the valley. If you listen closely, you can hear the stream. I'm just kidding. It was a river.

This is Brandi. See those eyes?

Our Home

This is our home. In the Haight/Ashbury district in San Francisco.

Iggy

This is Iggy. He loves cheese. He loves to chase squirrels and birds. He's my best pal.

He hangs out in Upper Haight, Panhandle, Buena Vista Park, Corona Heights and Baker Beach. He doesn't answer to Lassie.

Underwear

I'm not sure if this is selling well...

catchy picture though.
