Don't you worry we'll all float on

Even if things get heavy we'll all float on

All float on

Modest Mouse: Float On

Okay so this is the follow up post to the trip to the Brotherhood from the other night. Nothing helps cure the blues like having some drinks and going to the Dollar store (don't worry I wasn't driving). It's an amazing place. 

Pacman Fever

Ghost, originally uploaded by MyDogRex.

I'm pretty sure Pacman Fever is a real song.

This is an older photo from our trip to Sweden. Someone had left this little ghost on the base of a fountain in the Gamliston neighborhood in Stockholm. I wonder who put it there, I imagine it was a little kid because that's the sort of thing I could see myself doing. Either way I was glad to notice it as this is one of my favorite photos.

Between the bars

Drink up baby
Stay up all night
The things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be
That you'll never see
The promises you'll only make


The people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still


Elliot Smith: Between the bars

I know Elliot is depressing music, but I suppose it's appropriate right now. A little time at the Brotherhood will help lift your spirits (pun intended).

Show me the side streets in your life

train yards like boneyards sharpened knives
sidewalks are unassuming fields
concrete and cracks won't cut you deals
lost teeth like white jewels of some kind
petty theft for penny crimes
and we yell
ahh like a good old fashion nightmare

Matt and Kim: Good ol' Fashion Nightmare

Take the skinheads bowling

Looking back at the posts I've done so far most of my comments have been about the weather. which makes me feel like my grandmother. So I'm trying something new and titling each post with lyrics from a song. Cliche I suppose, but what the hell huh?

Anyways, we met our friends Katie and Kevin from Portlandia in Longview for lunch today. It's halfway between Oly and PDX. There's not a whole lot to do there besides bowling. We got some pointers from an older gentleman playing next to us and my game dramatically improved. I also managed to get a picture of Katie which is about as easy as getting a picture of the Loch Ness Monster (I'm sure she won't be happy with me when she sees it). They are really fun people and we always have a good time with them. Put a bird on it.

I'm still figuring out how to post multiple pictures in one post. Took this using Hipstamatic, which is one of my favorite apps on the iPhone.

It was a beautiful day out today and so we took the dogs for a long walk. Piper lounged afterwards in the sun.

Calculations

Numbers. We were in Centralia the other day at an antique store and I saw this cool calculator. Not sure how it works, but I loved the rows and rows of buttons.

It's been rainy lately but not too long ago we had some nice weather. Cold, but clear.
