Bringing this back from the dead

I've had this private for a number of years and have opened it up to the public recently.  I have a few ideas on what's next for this space.  I've moved back to the USA, so there might be a need for a new name...

Google+

If anyone still reads this you should check out my Google+ I'll probably be posting pictures on there and maybe some short posts, we'll see.

Official announcement

No, I'm not going to start blogging again.  I don't really have the desire to do it any more.  I'm really glad that I kept a blog for as long as I did and the last 6 weeks I haven't been posting I've been enjoying everything and haven't felt compelled to make a new post about it.  Not that I ever forced myself to update, but whenever I did something I'd always have "I should put this up" in the back of my mind.


However, I'm still very active on Twitter and have an infrequent email list to send family and friends links to pictures and video that I've taken.  If you want to be on the email list and aren't already on it, comment and let me know.

The big announcement is that Katy, Jonathan, and I will be in New York this summer.  I will arrive July 10th, Katy will arrive July 17th because of work, and Jonathan will arrive on July 20th after traveling with his grandmother to a bunch of different universities.  I'll be in NY until August 10, Katy until August 7th and Jonathan until August 2.

I doubt there are many people that read this that didn't already know we are coming back.  Tickets are booked, it's happening! The Hong Kong Petrashunes are preparing for Redford fiddler's meets, Chazy Lake, water park, and all the rest!

See everyone in two months!!




...Also have to add that I'm finally bringing my OME back Hong Kong, such a shame it's been sitting in the basement for the last two years...

Two of my latest recordings

I'll beat this sickness even if it kills me....

Captains log 3-320-11:

An intergalactic-virus confined me to my pod for the greater part of the day. I awoke to a continued ill feeling, it seems as if The Sickness has taken hold deep within my being.

I emerged once to greet the cleaning droid and again briefly to settle business with the water provision council.

In an attempt to snap out of the coma I am falling in to, I rehydrated a yellow spice chicken for the others and I during evening meal.

Feeling ill, I attempted a liquid submersion. However, rebels have disrupted the pure liquids supply chain and I was unable to complete the process.

Eating the new bird brought satisfaction, albeit slight as I was unable to concentrate on flavors during this period. I was informed that the pure liquid lines had been restored over evening meal and the radiation collector had successfully imbued energy in the liquid. I excused myself from the others and attempted to cleanse the intergalactic hitchhiker within me.

I returned to my pod where I shall soon fall in to hypersleep in hopes that during the next rotation I will be able to emerge victorious.

To be continued.....

Or will it???

#Mrμμ is back!! No tail and all, he's not dead

#Mrμμ is currently crushing the shit out of some plastic planters while acquiring food, I'm sure he could avoid them if he wanted to

 

Damn, #Mrμμ just went out of his way to eat and stomp on that planter

#Mrμμ ain't got time for your shit, he does have time to take a shit,in your walkway,on the dark tiles,so you can't see it & then step on it at night

 

Now #Mrμμ taunting all the local dogs looking out the window at him, he just has a blank stare towards them while chewing his cud

 

#Mrμμ just disappeared, off to mess up more people's shit. Time for him to dig himself a mud pit in the center of someone's garden

 

#Mrμμ's to do list: 

chill out in the street & get honked at

look sickly & get free food from locals

act like I can't walk up or down stairs

#Mrμμ 's to do list: 

set off some car alarms & act like I didn't know any better

sit in same spot for 8 hours and plan next move

It looks like I'm still breathing over here in the ol' HK. "I've been more active on Twitter lately," he says to himself.

For some reason

I envisioned this excavator ("digger" or "digga" in Kiwi talk) to be rolling down to the other end of the beach to do battle with another mechstrosity

Please insert money for renewal card

My Wilderness First Responder certification expired February 1 so if anyone needs their life saved I'm afraid I can't help you. Or you could give me a grand to take the course and then I'll come back and save you.

I can't believe it's been three years since I've taken that course. I can't believe it's been five years since I took my first WFR. Someone stabilize my C-spine

Nepal day 15

I realized I forgot to type in a bunch of stuff from my journal for day 15 so if you are following along you my want to check it out again

What do Cuban cigars and these have in common?

Maybe it's because I'm American but I really want to shove this entire chocolate egg into my mouth

Oh wow, good thing i didn't, there's some plastic yellow thing inside it

Heh, I would have looked like quite the fool if I had to pick this out of my stomach or my trachea

Must resist urge to devour entire egg

Answer: They will both get confiscated if you try to bring them into the USA.  Thank you lawmakers of 1938 for keeping me from choking on this awful monstrosity.

I also changed the settings of the blog front page to only load 3 posts, it was loading 7 posts before.  I thought that might be a little too much with all the pictures I've been posting lately.
