Clooooone!

Does anyone else think of this episode of Futurama when they watch Mitt Romney and Rick Perry in the debates? This runs parallel to my theory that the Simpsons can predict the future. Now that Furturama is doing it, my head is spinning. The part when Fry brings up not being vaccinated is an especially nice touch to the theory.

Summer Adventures 2011

And clearly I'm just cleaning my calendar of notes out and posting to the internets today so here is my final adventure count.

Went to Half Moon Bay for clam chowder in a bread bowl, but originally said I would go to Monterey. Saw Doug Benson which I posted earlier. While going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium I stopped by for three bowls of chowder. It turns out you can go to a Monterey and have bad chowder. You just have to not go to a bar and grill. Avoid those and go to a fish restaurant. It's all overpriced so just suck it up. Fish Hopper is excellent and it turns out you can get it to go, so I recommend it. Also I hate big crowds at aquariums because little rude kids piss me off and their crappy parents make it worse because as their kids piss me off, they have their backs turned taking pictures and blocking my views. Got denied my free hat at an A's game on free hat day and they wouldn't give me one since I already entered the park. I know I'm cheap but if you think about it, so are they.

It seems like a lot but even after all this, I didn't make it camping. Seems like a shame to deny my dog an adventure, but he came to Half Moon Bay with us and also he's a dog, so I don't feel that bad. I'm way too paranoid of him crapping in the tent so we'll just have to see what happens next year. 

Here's to a wonderful summer and I hope it goes well again next year. Am looking forward to turning off the A/C.

Plate Hunt 2011

The beginning and end of summer feels unclear since I've finished school. And using the calendar feels just wrong. But I feel now is probably a good time to declare my summer over even though the temperature will now spike to over a hundred because it heard my declaration. But here is my final tally of what I did not get to see. Here's to next year.

Alabama
Delaware
Georgia
Illinois
Maryland
Mississippi
New Hampshire
North Dakota
Ohio
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Vermont
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Though I did see Illinois recently, I do not count it.
