Andrew DeWitt Releases New Site

A friend of mine from college is continuing to make a name for himself now that he has relocated to L.A., that wondrous city of wannabes, never have beens, and maybe some dayers - but Andrew DeWitt isn't one of those.

He's got talent and is worth a cult-following if you reside in the Greater Los Angeles area - but if you don't - he's also got a cool blog called Dorksplosion, for those of us who fantasize slightly about being a Dark Elf. Well, it's for those of us who fantasize every day about being a Dark Elf and married to a Nymph in a string bikini made of  koala bear fur.

Fair warning - the blog may not be suitable for the workplace environment, depending on whatever mood he's  in. Still, it's worth being caught.

Summer, Sweat and Sorbet

I get it.

I am supposed to update my blog a certain number of times per week. And I have failed. I love to write, take pictures, and be way too opinionated about the innocuous and trivial. So what's the hold up?

See that post below about cleaning and writing? Well that cleaning spree turned into a complete Garden re-design and interior home makeover. The proverbial domino effect caused my brain to hone in on my 1951 bungalow and see it for what it is: once a house described as having "character," but in reality a nightmare to make elegant and modern.

The sunroom before I attacked it with my skillz...

And... ahhhhh. The after shot.

Now that summer is here, the heat is kicking me out of the yard. My office is complete, and has one of those cool rotating fans that helps me cool off despite my wonderful home's AC unit's best efforts to air condition the entire upstate area. Wooden floors are awesome until you realize that all those cracks aren't insulated. Great starter home my ass.

So, cooling off now. 'Bout to hunker down and write some poetry. And while writing, to help cool off, I'll be periodically sampling my latest sorbet creations. I just got through blending mangos, bananas and strawberries. I know, you want more pictures of all this madness. And I tell you now - you and the other dude reading this - blog posts are backed up in my intestines and I just drank a glass of milk.

And I'm allergic to dairy.

Man. I really need to work on my metaphorical expressions.
