Pandora on her Pillow
I’m off to NJ to visit Amy for the weekend. Back Monday. Here’s a photo of Pandora reclining on her favorite pillow: (Pandora on her Pillow uploaded by brownpau.) More photos of Pandora.

Pandora’s Fan
(Pandora’s Fan uploaded by brownpau.) Chin on book, face to ventilation. It’s the dog days of summer. Only without the dog. See here for another angle, and the title of the book she’s using as her pillow.
Pickles the Parakeet is Back
(IMG_3388.jpg uploaded by brownpau.) Pickles was last seen here, and I’m birdsitting him again while his owner is away. Shortly after I took this photo, Pickles pooped on the back of my shirt. I don’t know how pirates deal with this.
Gems in the Poo
The story is that someone posted a question to Ask Metafilter about avoiding alcohol in vanilla extracts for religious reasons (Islam, I think). A few people answered with the standard “Oh you poor stupid religious person,” as is to be expected from Metafilter; which precipitated this etiquette debate in which some actually defend their right […]
Sunset from the Washington Monument
Did some rollerblading around DC with Jason today, and we stopped at the Washington Monument to watch the sunset. My camera had batteries this time, so here’s the photo I wasn’t able to take last Sunday: (Sunset uploaded by brownpau.)
Amy at the Monument
(IMG_3355.jpg uploaded by brownpau.) Sunday evening by the Washington Monument. Amy and I sat on the hill to watch a lovely sunset, while we feasted on chips and salsa. My batteries ran out after this photo of Amy, and I was unable to get photos of the sunset itself, but that’s okay. See more of […]
Buds at the Picnic
(IMG_3316.jpg uploaded by brownpau.) Amy and I were at the AAAMWDC Annual Picnic on Saturday. It’s always great to be around Ateneans who lived through some of the school’s most memorable days from the 1950s to the 1970s — my uncle included. You hear all kinds of stories. Plus, the Filipino potluck lunch buffet was […]
Heat Wave, July 2005
(One Oh Five. uploaded by brownpau.) As you can see in the photo, my home thermometer recorded a maximum outdoor temperature of 105.6°F (about 41°C) today. Walking around outside felt like baking in an oven, or like being back in Manila. More from CapitalWeather.
Turbofan
(IMG_3222.jpg uploaded by brownpau.) Nothing quite like spending the afternoon geeking out at the National Air and Space Museum. This is a Rolls Royce turbofan engine, but I forgot which model.
