Surtur Supreme: Tatuaggi time!
http://surtursupreme.blogspot.com/2008/08/tatuaggi-time.html
Well, after over a year of searching and deliberation, both Skick and I have finally gotten our next round of tattoos. We found some exceptional artists at this year's Seattle Tattoo Expo (still running through the rest of the weekend, for any of you Seattlites), and got inked right there on the spot. The third rose is equally perfect as the first ones, as you can see. Here's the finished product (a little blurry because of how close the camera had to be). All in all a smashing success! Art in Deep Koma.

Skick's Subversive Strange Serenades: June 2008
http://skick.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Skick's Subversive Strange Serenades. Monday, June 30, 2008. Did that last post seem to end on a depressing note? It really was not intended, but honestly how riveting of a post can you write about business and accounting classes? Of course I did have a teacher who really pissed me off by making errors in accounting and not admitting to them when I pointed them out. But you know what really really pisses me off? Watching my team (The Giants) pay a player 14 million dollars a year (yes, I said a year.

Skick's Subversive Strange Serenades. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Yeah, yeah, I know. I have been back for weeks now and only now am I posting pictures?

Skick's Subversive Strange Serenades: July 2008
http://skick.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Skick's Subversive Strange Serenades. Monday, July 28, 2008. Better late than never I guess. I know this a rather late post on the outcome of the primaries but it is something that has been stewing and stewing in me, and I think I need to get out because it is something I should. Be over, but am not. After those disclaimers, onto my bitterness and their roots and manifestations…. Meanwhile many throw comments about how impersonal and out of touch politicians are? Was found to also have made hateful and a...

Skick's Subversive Strange Serenades: August 2008
http://skick.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Skick's Subversive Strange Serenades. Thursday, August 14, 2008. A day in the Life of Being Cute. Okay, lets get two things out of the way. But getting onto my first list. Second, I realize that I bitch a lot on this blog, actually I mainly only complain. But it is my blog. It is my sound board. The good things in my life I prefer to share with people personally. Dear God, if you know me, you know how much I love to talk. Wednesday, August 6, 2008. NFL's new Fan Code of Conduct. I am so screwed! Heaven f...

Skick's Subversive Strange Serenades. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Day One. and Two. So the trip did not get off on the best foot. We were scheduled to take off from Portland at 8:45 am on Friday, stop in Dallas and then Chicago with an hour and a half layovers in each, before flying to Dublin and arriving Saturday morning. Mother Nature and American Airlines had other plans though. Um, yeah. They lied. 8:45 am: Scheduled to leave Portland. 10:00 am: Actually leave Portland. 1:05 pm: We arrive in London.

Surtur Supreme: Road Trippin'
http://surtursupreme.blogspot.com/2009/09/road-trippin.html
Neither of us had ever driven in another country with the exception of short jaunts into Vancouver, and we definitely hadn't ever tried our luck on the other side of the car/street. Needless to say, we didn't know what to expect in the slightest. I made a cautious and white-knuckled turn out of the rental car lot in our Nissan Micra. The next five days were an exhilarating. Fast-paced road tour of the island country, complete with extremely. The countryside itself is an absolute wonder - massive.

Surtur Supreme: Dublin at last
http://surtursupreme.blogspot.com/2009/09/dublin-at-last.html
After finding our way through customs and immigration, grabbing a city map and catching a bus to our hotel, there wasn't much time left in the day for exploring. We grabbed a quick bite to eat at a nearby pub (more on the food later) and crashed. The next morning, finally showered, rested and clean-shaven, we set out on our first adventure. Still, large swaths of the city have turned into tourist traps of an interesting nature. Many visitors come for the pub experience, so pubs have popped up everywh...

Surtur Supreme: 08.09
http://surtursupreme.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
A reflection on the airline industry (or, day 1). To say that the excitement started within the first hour of our trip would be an understatement. We rounded the corner to our gate at 6:30AM Pacific Time on the 21st to find a 2 hour delay slapped onto our first flight. Thunderstorms in Dallas wouldn't be that big a deal, but we had 3 planes to catch today and all of our connections were instantly in jeapordy. And the next flight to Chicago had been cancelled. So we waited on stand-by (with 60 others tryi...

Surtur Supreme: 09.09
http://surtursupreme.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
We started out heading south from Dublin, and made a stop in Glendaloch. A valley with an ancient ruined monastic settlement on the banks of two deep lakes. From there we headed towards the center of the island, and explored the mysterious, crow-infested castle ruins of Cashel. To complete the day's experience, we landed a room in a hotel that was. A castle - a converted stone keep that (of course) had a great pub as well. Dingle is known to be one of the most beautiful regions in all of Ireland, and it ...
