My Life in Pictures

My port-in of my phone number actually took less than 24 hours and since the phone I bought came with a "double minutes for life" promotion, I'm paying for the $9.99/month plan that includes 50 minutes but I get 100 minutes.

Also I can stop the payments and restart them any time without having to pay a connect/disconnect fee.

That's not bad.

This is a pretty car.

Aloha, chillin in my room. He stopped by on the way to California.

My car next to AlohaWolf's.

Outlook, if you weren't so practical, I'd shake my fist at you.

Pork chops! Trying a new method. I double battered and baked them, then finished them by frying them in oil to make the batter crisp. It's a very thick egg batter.

Edit: My roommate Mike thought they were pretty good.

Duracell claims that their batteries are used "child safety equipment and equipment on NASA space missions." The space walk to repair the Hubble Space Telescope has been a failure because of a failed battery in an electric wrench. So, by association, Duracell is responsible for the failure of the space walk.

Duracell: Trusted to fail everywhere, even in space.
