Two today, a new one and an older one.
July 23:
Mel got me this in Key West. Of all the animals that get hit by boat propellers, I can't think of any I'd rather be than a Manatee. Sure, sloths get to hang in trees all day, but manatees don't even hang, they float. Sea cows, dugongs, mermaids, whatever you call them, they know how to have a good time. Also, the fish and all the nice blue water are pretty fabulous. Mel knows what she's doing.
July 40:
The big 8-0. In most units of time, 80 of something to use another unit instead. Most units of a lot of things, for that matter. This one is, again, from Diesel Sweeties. Classic gaming and recycling? Sign me up. The pixelation, as always, doesn't hurt. |

Here's me having a glaring contest with Lex Luthor. I tried the whole flickr blog-o-matic thing, but I wasn't crazy about it. As far as I'm concerned, the point of this is to have giant pictures of my shirts, not little ones off to the side. I should still be able to get all the entries modified to host from there, though, in time. My old school hosting is finally down now that I've been graduated for three months, and I had to take down apache on my server until I get around to updating things. This shirt came from Blair. I really can't pass up a shirt with a picture of Alan Greenspan. |

Bit of a backlog there. Here are a number of them.
June 12:
You can't see it all that well, so I guess I should have gotten a better picture, but this is my shirt from the Purdue Russian Club. Russian at Purdue is a really good time. I encourage everyone to enroll at Purdue or transfer there and take it. Unless, you know, you don't want to or whatever. I got the minor and got into the Slavic Honor Society. очень хороший, if you ask me, much like this shirt.
June 13:
My mom got me this one, along with some pants that have bananas on them. I like my mom. My mom knows.
June 14:
I got this on clearance even though it says Sonic X on the side, since it's mostly stuff that also applies to non-X Sonic. I do enjoy me some good speed-tacular platforming. Also, this was taken in front of the old Purdue basketball court floor up on the wall at Buffalo Wild Wings. We go there for trivia on Wednesdays. They have a DJ, and he asks questions, and then we win free food and beer and things. Or sometimes we don't. Frequently, however, we do. That night we won free beer for having the best team name in the first round and free food for having the best score in the second. Hooray for trivia. Good times.
June 15:
I think I got this during a buy one get one half off rock shirts sale. I like Pink Floyd, and Dark Side is still my favorite. It's not long, but it feels like the whole thing is very well-spent. I studied the album a little bit for May Term senior year, along with OK Computer and The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. That was a fun class. That was a fun May Term.
June 17:
I took a lot of pictures on Saturday. Many of them were of Swans, and a couple were of the General Lee we saw on the interstate. Of the ones originally intended to be my Shirt of the Day Picture of the Day, I think this one shows the shirt the best. I also took a number of pictures at a Pirate miniature golf course, including this one:
If I ever have too much money I want to have a miniature golf course. Then I'd practice and get good. I like the pirate one, so I might try to do something themed like that, or a space one, or computers, or I might just go classic castles and windmills and stuff. It would be a tough call. I'd probably need to eventually expand to several differently themed courses, and possibly a whole amusement park if money just fell out of the sky and landed on me or something. I guess I could probably think of other things to buy too. I usually can.
June 18:
Mel got me this shirt. I like The Simpsons, and I'm in favor of most things involving grooving. That's all for now, and I've missed a few days, but I'll try to get back into things soon, and seriously see about updating more regularly. I always forget how much fun this is when I'm not doing it. |

These are a few days old at this point, and I didn't have my camera this weekend, so I took a break.
June 7:
I got this at the Goodwill in Muncie for a couple of dollars. The red parts of the emblem feel fuzzy, and the emblem appears to be slightly crooked, but at least I'm no damned decepter-con.
June 8:
This came from a "We Hoped These Would Be Trendier Than They Turned Out To Be, So They're Cheap Now" sale at Kohl's. I like video games. How about the Twilight Princess? Will it ever come out, or will they just keep making the same excuses indefinitely until the moon hits the earth? Also, another edition of Shirt of the Day On the Road brings us to Jake's. Hooray for dinosaur gas.
June 9:
I really like the blue in this one. Friday is Hawaiian shirt day at work. Whether that applies to me is unclear, since I frequently wear Hawaiian shirts on other days as well. |

I got this at Goodwill for a few bucks. If I remember correctly it was in the same purchase as a previous entry, as well as a Lord of the Rings shirt for Mel. I guess I should have posted it before they change their slogan. |

| Shirts of the Weekend |
[Jun. 5th, 2006|10:13 pm] |
So this weekend I went home for my joint graduation party with my brother, and now that I'm back I can put up pictures. It was a good time. I got to see family and friends I see about once a year and some people I see even less often than that. Unfortunately, I was a huge dope and took two shirts I had already worn. I guess when I've got almost 5 and half dozen, that sort of thing happens. I should go through and take out all the ones I've already worn
June 3:
This is less a shirt, and more my high school graduation gown. I had to give back the college one since I only rented it, so for pictures with my brother I broke out my old colors. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the hat or a couple other things, but it was still a good time.
June 5:
I've gotta say, I'm a big fan of AMD. I started buying them based on the huge price gap for what I understood was comparable performance, and I'm still kicking around a few socket A's. I'm currently racing Pete to be the last kid on the block with a 64. Anyhoo, it seemed like everybody but me had an AMD shirt for a long time, so last fall Mel gave me one of hers, which was very nice of her. I like Mel. |

Maybe one of these days I'll get the hang of doing this right. I had a backlog of shirts with pictures, and shirts I wore with no pictures, and good intentions, and sunshine and lollipops. Seriously. Maybe I can do June. If not, this'll just be some shirts some times, and not so much with the Of The Day.
June 1:
I got this last fall. Woo for classics. Especially when they get redone in multiplayer. Provided it's done right. Yeah. |

[May. 11th, 2006|10:52 pm] |
So we've got two days here. The first is another Purdue shirt. I have a lot of these, so it sort of surprises me that this is only the second. They're easy for relatives and people to get, since Purdue comes up a lot of places, and I do enjoy them. I think I've had a very good undergraduate experience.
May 10:
And today, we have Shirt of the Day on the road, at a local eatery for lunch. This is another shirt I got last weekend. We took pictures on the trip for graduation-type pictures. I got dressed up and we took pictures around Fermilab. Kind of awesome for a Physics student. I also took lots of random pictures, since I like random pictures and have more space on my memory card than sense. This shirt goes well with a good number of my pants.

I got this for being a Food Liaison at Purdue's Fall Space day, along with a totally sweet lanyard and a nametag and a pen that's difficult to figure out and some balsa planes that say Fall Space Day and a squishy plane that says Fall Space Day and food and a good time. Adam did a most of the real work, and I mostly just showed up that day and helped wrangle food for a bunch of college students who appreciated the food and were happy to be there and generally agreeable. I got to help eat the food and go to some of the awesome fall space activities and drive my car and park it around parts of campus I never get to drive to normally like the fountain. It was a really good time.

| The Shirt of a New Day |
[May. 8th, 2006|04:22 pm] |
So I'm back. We'll see how this works out. I got a small tripod at a Science Surplus store for about $3, so I'm taking pictures myself. Here's one of a shirt I got the next day (yesterday, in fact,) at a Goodwill in a suburb of Chicago. I got a bunch of books, and some other shirts which will should also make appearances here, possibly along with more information about the trip. Mainly, even if the posts are short, I'm going to try to keep it going longer this time. I have more shirts now, and I've graduated, which may mean I have more time, or it may mean I need to spend more time looking for jobs. In any case, I'll see what I can do.
