It wasn't cold out, but it was in the mountains and the water was numbing. I've got extremely poor balance so I walked through the water instead of hopping rocks
This is from January of this year. I was innocently driving home from work and was at a full stop at a traffic light. Enter big fat commercial box truck. Taking up residence in what used to be my trunk, as well as shoving me into the car in front (and them into the car in front, and them into the car in front....it was not a happy day )
When I see Venice, with all the standing/slow moving water, all I can think is "mosquitoes." Haha. Nice pictures, though! And the mountain picture. I miss living where I can see mountains. (Though the ones I could see where nothing like that, haha.)

You see Venice and immediately think of mosquitoes?
You have no romance in your soul!
Edit: and here, have some small BC Vancouver Island mountains. And some Canada geese!
@Tania I think other things, but "mosquitoes" is definitely up there. And pish, I can have romance right here in Brooklyn next to our own standing water.

To be fair, it really is an actual buffalo jump, where natives used to run the bison off the cliff and "harvest" them for meat, bones, hide, etc. Just sayin'. :P
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."

Oh, I know. I just thought the name was hilarious.
Went hiking to "Skålatårnet" (1848 meters above sealevel) in Loen - Norway.
Here are some pics from my Samsung S3 and Canon Ixus 230 HS. Sorry for their huge size, the number of them and that will without doubt kill your load time!
Last night the boyfriend and I went out to dinner for my birthday (which is technically Monday, but Mondays suck). We went to this adorable place on a rooftop in downtown LA - you can see the skyline behind us in the picture, it was super cool.

Thank you, and yes! Someone at work recommended it, and it was AWESOME, if a bit hipster for my usual taste. The view was incredible, of course.
Speaking of which, we should have another LA get-together in a week or two when work cools down. I've heard amazing things about Father's Office, but the boyfriend doesn't want to go with me.

Bavarian Beir cafewhere I broughta stien of Stiegal. Which had everyone in tears at how ridiculous it looked and that I had to lift it with both hands. Many Lord of the Rings jokes were had.
@Tahquil: Priceless. That stein is pretty amazing.
I like the idea of liking beer, but it just never happened for me. I can't drink the stuff. Even when I went to Germany, I just drank wine the whole time.

Not even something a little lighter, such as Blue Moon compared to Guinness? Guinness is a bit of an acquired taste to be honest.
@Kresslack: I haven't paid close enough attention to beers to know which ones I find the best, but I know that there are some I dislike less than others (and yes, Guiness being quite low on my list). I like some of the sweeter ciders, but that's about it as far as beer goes. Eventually I gave up and decided that forcing myself to like a specific type of drink was kind of silly, and went back to my white wine, cranberry vodkas, and peach champagne cocktails (when out with @Achilles, at least).

I think I'm gonna just Bonko it up, stalk Silas on forums. But instead of disagreeing, just post the above.
Went shopping today. Found my pirate hat. Woot! Beware! The Lady of Shipwreck is back to terrorize ships!
