I was searching for pics about the great pyramids of Giza, but found this one from inside some other pyramid. Perhaps in Mexico. Who knows? What I did find on the search for the great pyramids of Giza where some guy building his roof with the help of friends. He also uploaded via flickr uploadr How do I know? Because of the wicked weird double caption it does — fucking lame software bug.

TheSeed asked me the other day, “Why do you like the Japanese ships?”

He was referring to the IJN Yamato model on my coffee table.

“I’m wanting to build out the Imperial Japanese Navy fleet.”

“I’m also fascinated by the Nagato.”

Here’s a look at a completed model of the IJN Nagato. It was the only Japanese battleship to survive WWII. The US confiscated it as the spoils of war and used her at the atomic testing grounds on Bikini Atoll. She sank after the second of two atomic bomb tests.

Nagato is also the name of my favorite character from The Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzimiya. I like to consider her the mascot for my MacBookPro.

They're here!

These are some spooky cloud formations. They almost seem like some kind of alien space craft under camouflage. Any minute now, the alien mother ships will emerge from the clouds and disgorge their attack crafts.

Plus, what’s with the trees in the front. I thought there were none in Iceland.

I can, without doubt, say this is my favorite figure even though I have don’t have it. I see it offered on ebay for $150 and on Amazon for $164 and I am tempted to make that purchase. Whatever for?

This is also a Halloween post.

That’s a lot of people.

They hear Senator Obama’s call for change.

“So Senator McCain can keep trying to attack me and distract you – but it’s not going to work. Not this time – not now. Because while my opponent thinks this campaign is all about me – the truth is, this campaign is about you. Your jobs. Your health care. Your retirement. Your children’s future. That’s what this election is about. That’s what I’m fighting for. Because I can take 2 more weeks of these attacks from John McCain, but the American people can’t take four more years of the same failed policies and the same divisive politics.”
