My Park, MINE!

April 18, 2008 · 2 Comments

Been on google way too much today.
In one of my many narcissistic searches I found this here:

Nooksack River along Vander Yacht Park

Behold, Vander Yacht Park! No shit!

Foot prints on the sandbar along Nooksack River at Vander Yacht Park

I haven’t been to this beautifully named oasis of calm and reverie but it’s only a
4 hour and 28 min drive away and it’s conveniently located just off of I-5! NICE.
I plan on making a pilgrimage some day.

Cormorant as seen at Vander Yacht Park
BIRDS!

And if the photos weren’t enough to tide you over for this stunning piece of outdoors, feast your eyeballs on this(!!!):

Best five minutes of my day. Following around squirrels and common song
birds is what I typically do outside, so this video really speaks to me.
And those transitions!! YOW! The heart-shaped one really gets me.

And it gets better!

Ready?

There are TWO Vander Yacht Parks! I know, it’s hard to believe. And they’re both in Washington, the land my ancestors apparently decided was the place to procreate. It’s a sad park so I won’t make fun.

TWO PARKS! YES!!

Microfilm (Ahem…Microfiche)

Microfilm Box

Erik and I were wandering around Scrap awhile back when he spotted
a huge stack of these orange boxes here. By themselves they’re awesome
looking, I love the double m’s in the top right.

Microfilm Box

Inside was a very long roll of microfilm, the one I got happened to
have a bunch of ladies advertisements on them. I haven’t made it all
the way through the roll, so I don’t know if there’s more in store.

Ye Olde Cari

Here’s a few more chapters from my elderly exploits. If you were all wondering
about the well-being of my finger, it has healed up nicely. Also, bangs have been
successfully cut. Woo!

These two pages represent separate events.

Later on in the week I decided to have a hangover.
Considering a life without alcohol.

I Can’t Hold This Back Anymore.

Why deny you the power of Leoncie? I caught wind of her from WFMU’s blog
and I can’t say that I’ve gone a day without one of her songs mauling my brain.
I love her.

The video above has perhaps the best use of green screen you’ll ever seen.
Brian take note.

If you need further convincing (yeah right) then I suggest viewing her
complete video collection

Found this great toy shrine while biking around Ladd’s. Perhaps you’ve seen it?
Easter Sunday means chilling with ghost dog Deekin. And the fam of course.

these amazing photos. Nabbed some of my favorites for visual stimuli. They
also have ridiculous names, if you’re interested, click on them and travel on
down to my flickr page, I have a few more beautes there waiting to be ogled.

Plepsidium flavum

Thelomma califonicum

Kaernefeltia merrillii
