Nissan Versa!

Since finding a healthier, albeit lengthier, route to work, I’ve started biking and taking the MAX three to four times a week, depending mostly on random factors. I had a pretty unpleasant MAX experience yesterday, however– I had to wait for three trains in the morning, and on the ride home a guy was puking water all over the car floor right next to me, which was lovely– so today I decided to be lazy and drive.

However!

It seems that it’s always the case that when I drive, something is there to remind me why I don’t. Usually, the soul-crushing traffic on highway 26 is sufficient. I managed to get up early enough today to ease through a lot of the worse traffic, but that didn’t prevent some jackass in a Nissan Versa from nearly sideswiping me. Twice. At least I got to use my horn the second time.

The Nissan Versa, of course, ingrained into my brain as being the car that Hiro and Ando rent when they come to the U.S., in “Heroes”. Good times.

Super Magic Picture Time!

My phone takes crap pictures, particularly in the dark. I have plenty of evidence to prove this, but some of these pictures are worth trying to take anyway. Here’s a couple of case in points from the last couple of months.

The blurry man just above was taken the last weekend when we went out to Seaside. Seaside is predictably located on the coast, just below Astoria, that place where they filmed The Goonies. This guy was in the arcade, playing “In The Groove 2″, which is a game in the vein of the more familiar “Dance Dance Revolution”. So he was playing the game on some insane difficulty level, where the moves spin around and disappear and the songs are spectacularly fast. He was playing across two gaming pads. He was also juggling. It was complete madness.

There was a bit of a Dr. Seuss gallery in Seaside, but my pictures of this weren’t very good. It’s only a phone.

This was on a car bumper near home in what looks like permanent marker.

A coffee shop bulletin board had this educational enticement, but I was left unconvinced.

In a similar vein. You’ll notice I’m not offering my photography skills, I quit while I’m behind.
