This crap picture of some flowers might have been more entertaining but George had already started the car, so I hopped in.

I have been meaning to take a stab at this picture for a long time but only this Saturday did I get the opportunity. It's much more entertaining to ride the metro in the last seat than anywhere else I've ridden it.
I didn't get to the Folklife Festival this weekend but I'll be hitting it up come Saturday, believe you me.

I set up Feedburner not too long ago and there are actually a handful of people/services subscribed to this blog. Not enough to be statistically relevant but it means I may have at least one reader. That's plenty of reason to take out the time and think about what I will post each day. So hello out there world!
Today I accomplished a culinary milestone: I roasted a whole chicken. I used Nigella Lawson's recipe. The bird was juicy but a bit flavorless. My colleague suggested it was because I used a crappy grocery store bird instead of a free-range organic-type bird. This may be the case.
You won't be seeing any photos of chickens anytime soon. I have definitely not mastered the art of food photography.

Today I had an interview at The Container Store. Did you know they regularly land on Fortune's Top 100 Best Places to Work (or whatever the title is)? They have a three or four-step hiring process!
This building with some interesting rust stains was sitting across from the spot I parked in and had to wait around because I am always ass-early for everything.

This is George. This is how I see George. He's unpretentious but brilliant. He's not fussy or whiny or extravagant. He's kind, patient, loving, affectionate, curious, and intense for just the slightest flicker of a moment. Everything I can find wrong with him is petty. Saturday will be our one-year anniversary and I still have no major complaints against the man.
He doesn't like having his picture taken but I'm slowly, slowly breaking him.

I seem to have come into a photograph-after-sunset thing and I believe it's actually working. The lower levels of light mean a longer exposure but if I can keep the damn camera steady, it seems to behave very well. The soft light prevents me from looking like a monster or overexposing part of my face.

The big news today is that George and I signed a lease! We'll be moving into the Cavendish August 1st, if all goes well. If it doesn't, August 10th.
This is a quick shot in the sunset rain taken on my front porch. I thought there wasn't enough light but it turned out to be quite flattering. If only I could get the pose better...

This is George in front of the Epcot "golf ball." I was not terribly impressed with Epcot, to be honest. It lacked the imagination and creativity of the other parks. We all agreed it was the "least magical."

You can't really get the full impact of this guy unless you see it big. I was trying to creep out the viewer but may have put myself too small in the background.
In any case, this was at the amazing Tower of Terror ride at Hollywood Studios. Again, they had some amazing set work and the ride itself was terrifying without making you want to puke - a real feat!

The truth is, I can't get enough of these put-your-head-through-the-hole things. Thank God George finally got the picture and did something when I asked him to.

With all the traveling and such, I completely forgot to take a photo on Wednesday. But oh well - here's one from Thursday!
I was very impressed generally with the quality and diversity of the rides throughout the Disney parks. They have really stepped up their game since I was a kid.

My photography teacher told us we took lots of photos that needed a subject. This is clearly one of them. It was taken in Washington Circle on my way to an allergist appointment which I survived. I am allergic to everything.
