Arizona here we come

Now here's a blog, dealing with a serious issue. Via Woot, enjoy. I clicked around on the blog itself, not bad and kind of funny but I've seen funnier.

Monday pick me up

Because Monday can be hard and sometimes a boost can help... I present awkwardfamilyphotos.com. Thanks to Sarah for the link there, and here's this... my favorite picture, and one that will make your family seem more normal...Two things here that are priceless, and may not be noticed at first glance: first the sisters are holding hands too. As if there isn't enough awkwardness in this photo. Also the studio was Glamour Shots. I think that says it all.

Listen Up

Back when they existed I was a pretty big Grandaddy fan. Come to think of it, even though they're gone I still like them, which is why I'm posting this. The link is to an NPR first listen of Jason Lytle's (lead singer of Grandaddy) new album.
Listen to the whole thing for free, I've given it one listen through and give it a definite thumbs up. I'll also be posting a Grandaddy track to the SPs and one of Jason's if I can find any.

Sounds about right...

A car crash and a new Nic Cage movie... yeah about the same amount of fun. Allow me to state the obvious... Nic Cage and Nic Cage movies by association suck. So this is just a sign... don't wast your money seeing this next year (you can thank me later). Apparently, I'm not the only one who has doubts about this picture. Speaking of pictures, isn't one worth about a thousand words? To conclude my argument (against this movie) I present my coup-de-grace. I'm going to go ahead and give that a minute to sink in for you...

Anyway, read this (I especially like the last part of the scenario generator) and then this (watch out for some swears in that second link, also they're by the same guy so a little repetitive but funny). Just remember, the next time you see a Nic Cage movie you're going to roll your eyes and wish you'd not bothered; you've been warned.

End of an era

This is a nice write up for all the Piston fans who read this blog. It might not be easy to read, but I think it sums things up nicely. I also put that title because the Snobs may have reached its end too. Most of you know that in the fall I'll doing grad school in the fall so for that and other reasons I might shut down the Snobs. (If you want details about my future program, including links to it click here) Anyway, I've enjoyed writing some posts and hopefully giving people some funny/informative time killers over the last year or so. So, I'm sure you've all noticed the lack of posts lately as I decide whether or not to keep posting at all... and if this is the end of this blog do I just shut it down, or leave it around so others can continue to post? Feel free to comment.

I also wanted to let you all know the family is headed back to MI for a visit in a few weeks. I'll be driving up as we are making a vehicle exchange with my parents, and Sarah and the kids will fly up and drive back with me. We'll be arriving May 16th and will be leaving the morning of the 23rd. We are tentatively planning some kind of bbq/get together... I think Sarah will contact most people and give details via facebook so be on the lookout for that.

Check out this gut-buster!

Ever wonder how Michigan ended up as one of the fattest states in country (top ten)? Here's a hint.
