Port Angeles: Invitational Sand Sculpture Competition

History of the radio (what an old contraption).

This one was supposed to be the epic battle of robot vs person. The person is the sand sculptor. I think they are in love or something. Or maybe the robot is sad its owner died. Who knows.

This one is probably from a movie. I never watch movies.

I don't really understand this one, but maybe it's because I haven't seen I Robot. Movies.

Planet of the Apes. LOOK AT THE APE'S HEAD.

Alien vs. Bender, clearly the most detailed.

Leia and Luke, just chillin.          

Cool timez. Which is your fav?

Silly bandz are the coolest

When I was home, my sister introduced me to the silly band. For those of you who are clueless like I was, these bands are all the rage among the youngsters. You know, pog style.

My sister had sweet DINOSAUR silly bandz. I decided I needed some, too. I endeavored to search every CVS and Duane Reade (pronounced dwan-A reed-A) in a 7 mile venture on the island of Manhattan. My search proved unfruitful (except for ripoff versions in Chinatown).

Instead I settled for 'shaped rubber bands' that I found at a ShopRite supermarket in New Jersey.

Their schtick: They look like colorful rubber bands on your arm.


But... when you take them off, they are AWESOME SHAPES.

I seriously think these things are super sweet. What is wrong with me? Am I turning 7 this weekend? I think not.
Does anyone else like that Eminem got Rihanna for that song he did about domestic violence?

It's still wayyyyy worse than the Jump Smokers song, though.

WTF, Seattle? Part V. (Protect Tree Signs)

Seattle, I know you love greenery and the outdoors and such... but what's with all the "protect tree" signs and barriers? Putting up plywood and fliers at EVERY tree at EVERY construction site in the city probably kills nearly as many trees as it saves...
 Tree protection devices at a construction site on 41st Street NE.

Public notice to protect a tree on 41st street.

...But then again, maybe city trees are worth more than other trees... Equality for all trees!?!
