Today is the last day for the OBF and I didn't muster up the courage to brave the heat, crowd, or quite frankly, anymore beer... This weekend was a beer weekend, and today I detox in the heat from the sun that blisters the bricks which make up this house. The basement is a cool place to chill, but it is dark, dingy, and dank. So now I sit, in front of the TV. the LCD tv that emits mass amounts of heat. But I can deal with that because with the heat, comes entertainment. And as I type this, I realize that this macbook emits mass amounts of heat as well, directly on to my leg... But its what I asked for; this heat. So now it is here, and I have no idea what to do with it. For now I just sit and wait for the time when the sun goes down, and it chills out a bit. Till next year OBF, till next year.

Cheers,

T.

Just like we expected from the spiritual successor to Arkham Horror, there is about a metric ton of components in that box.

It seems like EVERYONE who's ever lived in Japan has at least one waterlilly photo.

Token-Operated Rides at Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre

Partly inspired by Lisa's Drawing a Day and her use of the Spirograph and fueled by my desire to quit my dead end, boring as all heck day job, I've been marking each day I work by making a token from a teabag. The project will continue until I find a new job as long as I can afford to buy tea.

Copper token issued by Wine and Spirit Merchant Robert McCulla of Armagh. The words "Payable at the Sign of the Clock”, are inscribed on the reverse. In 1847 McCulla ended his business partnership with William Ferris and until his death in 1857 traded under his new Clock trademark. The Sign of the Clock continued until in 1902 an extensive fire in Market street burnt his shop and destroyed McCulla’s famous clock. However The Clock Bar catered for thirsty customers from the same location until at least the 1960s. Donors: Mr. W. T. Ferris & Mr. J. Archer. (119.1968)

If you're in Rome, you kinda have to go to Trevi Fountain. During the day there are people there but at night, it's like Times Square on New Years eve.
