[483] Of accounting of Warcraft

A tribute to an easy exam.

Heh, the picture didn’t turn out as good as I had expected. But now, it’s time for something serious. Something that I’ve been waiting for almost a month. Damn Amazon for that.

Oh! You can’t see what that ridiculously happy guy is holding. Here:

World Of Warcraft baby!

[477] Of a month ago

I still remember the strong Atlantic breeze and the smell of the ocean.

It felt so good and how I’d wish that I had not the need to leave the beach. And now, I have to put up with the snow and the cold.

I really don’t mind a bit of snow here and there but too much snow really suck.The latter photo was taken almost two days after the whole Midwest and New England had a taste of boring snowstorm. That’s why in the photo, the sky is as blue as it can be. Two days later, and up until now, the sky is gray and you can bet it’s going to be gray tomorrow, the day afer tomorrow, the next day after the day after tomorrow and hey, the next thing you know, it’s Fimbulwinter.

p/s – well, okay. The sky is clear today. But I still bet it’s going to be gray tomorrow.

[468] Of Florida still

I’m still not over Florida and neither should you!

Sunset, needless to say. I was on an airboat on some lake. I can’t recall the name of the lake but I do know the lake is somewhere near Orlando.

Don’t you love the hue of the red sunset. Okay, admittedly, it can’t be seen well in the photo but it was admirable nonetheless. And might I add, much more admirable than Ann Arbor’s cursed sky.

This was the opposite horizon; bluish verses redish and azurish in the middlish. What gibberish!I’ll put some of the pictures I took at Florida (and Atlanta, Georgia) in the Gallery this upcoming weekend if Amazon.com fails to deliver my World of Warcraft on timely manner. Otherwise, prepare to meet your doom Orcs!

[465] Of the charming Keys

For those that wasted their winter break, I hope you are jealous of me.

Somewhere near Key Largo, the largest key in Florida. The photo sucks since the real thing was far better. The ocean was true, clear turquoise, the clouds were cleanly white and the sky was magnificiently blue. To experience it is to be there. No word nor picture is able to describe atmosphere.However, one t-shirt tries to say it all:

Up close and personal:

It was so much different than Ann Arbor. Here currently, it’s all gloomy.p/s – lokitorrents.com is being sued. I wonder if SuprNova.org is facing the same issue.

pp/s – I’ve ordered my first book of the year through Amazon.org – In Praise of Slowness: How A Worldwide Movement Is Challenging the Cult of Speed. I first found it while browsing a bookstore down in Miami.

Well, it is not actually my first book since I bought a set of accounting texts earlier but I’m content to say academic stuff doesn’t count. Also, along with the book, World of Warcraft. There goes another 70 bucks.

[464] Of more of Miami

What do these photos remind you of?

See the three bums on the right? From the left, Heng Keyn, Satchi and goddamned bloody Mike. Not that it matters since you can’t see their faces.I had two tall cups of cold chocolate shake under the Floridian Sun against the Atlantic wind here! w00t!:

Both were taken along the same stretch of road. It’s Ocean Drive/Deco Drive.And back to the question. What do these photos remind you of? For me, here’s a hint:

“Eh, fuck you, man! Who put this thing together? Me, that’s who! Who do I trust? Me!

No idea? It’s from Scarface! If you haven’t seen the classic yet, go watch it. Now. Pronto!

p3/s – some on the net are saying that the tsunami was caused by global warming. Ridiculous. The weather has nothing to do with cause of the tsunami. Nor does December 26th is cursed. Stop acting like a fool.
