They've done it! They've finally done it!

Throw those Prissy Kool-aid drinks out the window, because they've cut out the middleman and POWDERED ALCOHOL! You dump the powder into water and POW! Instant Vodka drink! I really wish I knew the chemistry behind this, though I'm sure it will show up on slashdot soon enough.

A brief tour of the Kaiserhaus.


It came from Darkest Suburbia...
It's not news to anyone who regularly reads my piddling blog that I recently moved back home with my parents. However, unlike the stereotypical nerd, I'm not living in their basement, I have the upstairs suite. I'm living quite well actually, and even if my friends are far, far away, at least the rent is cheap here.

I'll admit, it's a bit strange, after living on my own for two years, to be back witht the 'rents. I suppose I've gotten used to it for now, or at least I've accepted it as the best temporary solution availiable to me. Bust I'll admit that things do get a bit boring around here, I don't really know anyone my own age, and I'm not exactly going to hit up the bars with my parents... gah, that would be akward.


The creature lives up these stairs...of DOOM!
My consolation for moving away? A totally rockin' home theatre system, a job that pays decently well for someone not done with college yet, and quite a bit of free time, even though I'm working around 40 hours a week. However, I think my current situaton only proves the old adage... you know, that one about having every material thing in the world is worth nothing if you don't have friends. Sure that TV is nice, but what's the point if I don't have anyone to play Mario Party with?

Take me out to the...

Just thought I'd share this great panoramic I stitched together of Turner Field while I was there tonight. It was done with a simple kodak digital camera and stitched with Autostitch

That is apparently the largest HD screen in the world.

Not a bad game, 5-1 Braves before it started raining.
