Epic Picspam is Epic

I didn't want to update my blog until I had a positive step forward in the job search, and as such this morning I had a phone interview with a lovely woman named Laura so here goes two weeks of pictures.

There are something like 30 pictures so I won't be typing much.

To make the 1,250 mile journey a bit more palpable I decided to knit a complicated project while on the road to occupy my time. I chose the Cornflower Cowl by Karen Scott.



Cast on.





Work-in-progress at a Georgia gas station.


I am wearing my TARDIS shirt and listening to Spanish reggaeton.


Flying metal bird outside Atlanta. We ran into standstill on the highway right outside of Atlanta but the weather was absolutely beautiful so I didn't give a damn.


Houston, we have topography.








It was around the mountains in TN where we saw a large semitruck on fire. As in, FLAMES LEAPING OFF THE ENGINE.


Nashville. Somewhere along here we saw a graveyard of neglected backhoes.


Blurry picture is blurry.


Horse country.


Stopped in Kentucky for dinner.


After stopping for the night we watched Big Bang Theory on the crummy hotel TV before going to sleep. This city did not have 3G which rendered my iPad the equivalent of a 900$ chopping board.


This bridge was over the border of Kentucky and Indiana so I couldn't get a picture of the Welcome to Indiana sign as it didn't exist.


Morning sun.
It was around here where we saw a PIRATE BOAT in a pond. Wish I could have gotten a picture.





Batavia, the City of Windmills. Also, where both the bottom quark and the top quark were first detected at the particle accelerator lol i love physics


Beautiful view out my bedroom window. There are windchimes in the pine tree there and when the window is open they are lovely to listen to.


Pulled Pork at The Office, a little pub in St. Charles (I think it was St. Charles anyway) Home of Ben, the hot waiter-slash-sculptor who works nights at the pizza place.


What blog post would be complete without gratuitous pictures of the dog, Lu.





Little less than halfway done at the moment.


Everybody say AWWWW!


AWWWW


Vincent (as represented by his glasses), Andrew and I at Portillo's restaurant. The decor and ambiance in this place is crazy good. As soon as you step through the doors it's the 1930s. I wanted to take pictures but the flash was necessary and I didn't want to seem like a crazy person taking pictures.


Lights on a fake tree in the corner of my room (I've always loved ambient lighting)


That's it for now!
