Sgt Podge

Keeping in step with British animals and the cracking good names those Limeys can come up with for their furred friends, another pet post.

Sgt Podge apparently leaves home every night, wonders off about 2.4km away, and then expects his owner (the poor ladette to the right) to pick him up every morning in her saloon.

POST ONE

I think this is where The Last of the Mohicans was filmed. Mmm, Daniel Day Lewis.
Just block out that whole one eyed nativist in Gangs of New York.

One man's chimney is another man's phallic symbol.

Of course, he blinks in the one picture in front of the waterfall

"eight years to thirty" cake

I think the quality of birthday cakes must come in cycles. When you're small, you don't get anything fancy, maybe a cupcake. In elementary school and middle school, the parents are really competing with the other parents as to who can make/buy their kids the fanciest cake. I guess when you're a teenager it's up in the air: some girls get froo-froo sweet sixteen cakes, others are too cool to have birthday parties. Then, you hit your twenties and it all goes downhill because birthdays don't matter after 21 (case in point, my cake in the video.) All you have to look forward to, cake wise, are the milestones, and you're so depressed by turning the big x-0 the cake doesn't even matter anymore.

BUT even if my cake wasn't pretty, it tasted great (Funfetti is the shiznit). And a big thank you to my culinary roomie, who next time might not ice the cake when it's still warm.

Franklin Street during Halloween

As seen from Top of the Hill.
Next year, I think I'm going to go as a middle-aged Mexican male with a video-recorder taping the co-eds. I mean, there are so few of them on Franklin Street, it would be so original and everyone would think "I'm so glad that girl's costume isn't something that actually happens during a college campus's Halloween celebration."

Obama comes to Durham

Some of the better pictures I took.
