Thunderstorm!
Category: weather
It went from 85 degress and sunny to raining sideways in about 5 minutes.

The flicker at the start of the video is lightening, and when the thunder comes I jump :)

WOW! I love how the streets look like roiling black sheet rivulets from the apocalypse! :)

$6 is too much for a dollop of icecream fruit and syrup.

You make an awesome model. Why, I'd be shooting pictures constantly even if I had a crappy camera. (so jealous of (e:jim) :p)

There is a sunday on this list that is vanilla ice cream loaded with bananas, blue berries, strawberries, and pineapple with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

They were out of vanilla ice cream and pineapple, so I got cherry ice cream instead. I think it was $6.

and (e:metalpeter) my face is about this: jim just got his new fancy phone that takes new fancy video. So he has been taking pictures and video constantly and asking me to be in it. So, it was a healthy bit of irritation. ^+^

That does look tasty but what is (e:James)' Face about shouldn't he be glowing ear to ear since that food looks so good?

Man. I am getting dumber or what? THIS IS (E:JIM)'s JOURNAL!!! No wonder.

So how much did that dessert cost and what is it called?
tinypliny - 06/21/09 02:55
(e:Paul), this journal doesn't appear in your latest list of journal. I got to it through the links in your's and (e:Jason)'s comments on it. There is some glitch and I can't quite make out what it is.

Chow Chocolat is expensive but über tasty. I don't know what I need to do to stop feeling guilty about blowing money there and frequent it more often. (I currently don't frequent it often because of associated financial spendthriftness guilt).

The treats were so yummy.

Man. I don't eat a lot of chocolate but that looks amazing.

Pretty interesting and some of it was funny. It still seems weird to see the PC guy talking
jenks - 06/21/09 08:56

Good News, Bad News
They fixed the water main, but the pressure from turning it on made some toilets explode.

Ah, Friday.

Hey, that happens only in action movies! Did someone catch that explosion on camera?! :)
paul - 06/19/09 16:42
That's crazy.

Okay, now the multi image upload from the photo gallery share link works! For some reason using that system they name them Photo.jpg Photo 1.jpg Photo 2.jpg. Notice the space. I wasn't expecting that, which was dumb but seriously, why wouldn't they just use the real IMG000012.jpg name you get if you copy the file into the email. Those numbers seem to stay more distinct than Photo.jpg which I am sure people save over.

I also made it so you can add --draft-- to the body in order for it to show up in draft mode to avoid exploding buffalofeed ;)
