More pictures...

No time for much of anything today, so I thought I'd share some pictures that I've taken over the last few weeks. I hope you enjoy them, and as always, comments are more than welcome.

Also as always, the rest of my pictures can be found on my Flickr page.

Likes / dislikes

LIKE: Waking up in the middle of the night and having to go to the bathroom.

I’m not talking about having to relieve myself more than once -- or having to rock a Numero Dos -- but waking up, knowing it’s only about 4:30 and then falling right back asleep is awesome. Strange that I think it’s awesome, yes, but it is.

DISLIKE: Cab drivers in DC. Not while I am in the cab, necessarily, but when I am driving my own car and have to deal with their shenanigans.

First of all, if someone isn’t hailing a cab, they don’t need one. Too often I am behind a cabbie as he drives down the street, slowing whenever he sees someone standing on the sidewalk. If they need you, they will let you know -- especially during the morning and evening commutes, as they are in a hurry just like everyone else.

Second of all, driving a cab does not mean you are exempt from the rules of the road. Stay in one lane, ass.

LIKE: The following 4 songs.*

Eddie Vedder – Long Nights
Paolo Nutini – These Streets
Ryan Adams – Two
Virginia Coalition – Sing Along

DISLIKE: My parents’ timeshare company not having any availabilities in Costa Rica during the week of December 27 – January 3. Seriously, what kind of shit is that?

LIKE: The Capitals making the playoffs after a 5-season hiatus. Tonight’s game 1 kicks off a series against Philadelphia that should be insanely entertaining. Let’s go Caps!

DISLIKE: The fact that I still live with my parents. I realize that I’m getting married in 7 months and it’ll all be over soon, but I just want a place to call my own. Is that so much to ask?

LIKE: Hitting the snooze button.

DISLIKE: The fact that I’ve been so busy lately.

* Sorry, but these 4 will have to suffice for right now. I realize that they aren't necessarily "summertime" songs, but they are ones I thought you might enjoy. See my final dislike for the reasoning behind not posting an entire TWS.

It's Tuesday, rainy and I can't think of a title... deal with it.

Alright -- first things first. As promised, a few pictures taken last weekend with my new Holga are below.

Also as promised -- basically the story of this blog... a slew of mostly empty promises -- I plan on working on TWS in the next couple of days in between taking care of some wedding-related tasks.

Stay tuned for that, and also stay tuned for some more writing, as I feel like getting back into the swing of things. I’ve had a few ideas floating around that I’d like to get out there, so if all goes according to plan, they’ll grace the pages of walkingparty.com sooner rather than later.

One final thing, which I’ve said before but I’ll say again -- I don’t think many people read this site much anymore, but if you do, throw a comment or two out there. It’s always nice to get a bit of feedback, as it motivates me to keep putting some effort -- even if it’s minimal -- into writing. I also think comments have the ability to spark new topics and create conversation, so if you want me to keep writing, start letting me know how you feel.

That is all.
