Flounder Inn Photo Trip

Headed out to Block Island yesterday with Isaac to see the folks prior to next weekend's shenanigans, but moreso to have him take some photos for use with the Flounder Inn website I've been tinkering with.

Ferry ride over was rather awesome, waves were pounding in from the southeast and the boat was bucking it. Got out there and had a great if not somewhat morbid dinner with the parents' friends, then headed out with Isaac to Club Soda where we ran into Nathaniel and Kara, Charlie Millikin and Teresa Bendokas. The latter of whom is not only getting hitched in three weeks, but was actually rocking two frickin' rings. Jeremy Brown was there fronting his hardcore island band 13 Miles Out, one tune inspired by Boxing Helena was particularly badass. Later ended up getting rioted at pool at Kittens by Chrissie and Kurt before calling it a night.

Next morning Isaac managed a few hundred photos of the house inside and out, Carol and Henry Hill stopped by to model. A few of them (below) look amazing -- the kid has real skills. Got back to the 'Ville with zero issues, now just have my work cut out dealing with all this damn site content.

Hey Buzz, I'm a big fan of Block Island, too. In fact, I'm the guy who took that picture of Club Soda above. As it states on my Flickr account, I reserve all rights to that photo. Which means posting it here requires my permission. If you'd like to request permission -- I would probably grant it. If not, I'd ask that you remove it from this page as soon as you can. Thanks!

Hey Tim! You mind if I leave the photo up? This page gets about two hits a month -- and I got your photo off Google Image Search -- but it's a great shot and really reminds me of Club Soda. Many thanks in advance if that's cool with you.

George R. R. Martin: A Dance With Dragons
Only finished the second chapter, but yeah, back in A Song of Ice And Fire. No idea how good this new fifth installment out of the alleged seven-book series will be, but hoping "really damn good" seeing as how the thing's 1,016 pages long and easily the largest hardcover book I've ever owned. This one may not make it back on the plane.
Suzanne Collins: The Hunger Games
Went with some light reading for the first few weeks of summer after ordering a dozen or so books off Amazon.co.uk. This one turned out to be great -- the story of a girl in a far-future version of the US, where the regime requires 24 contestants between the ages of 12 and 18 to battle to the death every year until there's a lone survivor. The story's told through the viewpoint of "girl on fire" heroine, Katniss Everdeen, a skilled huntress from having to hunt to feed her family, and determined to survive. Not the deepest reading but you can burn through it in a day or two. Entertaining as hell. (****)
George R. R. Martin: A Feast For Crows (A Song Of Ice And Fire, Book 4)
Long and full of mud and sorrow. Still a great read full of great characters, but due to Martin's decision to split the stories of "Feast" and "Dance" into two separate books -- by character -- this one gets delegated to featuring all the less-loved folk, meaning there's no Jon, Dany, or especially Tyrion. Here's hoping the just-arrived #5 gets the momentum of the story established by #3 back on track. (***)
George R. R. Martin: A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 3)
And on to the third one. Which despite the smaller form factor weighs in pretty hefty at almost 1,100 pages. Everything's burning, main characters are developing in new directions, the Kingslayer's on the move, the world's in turmoil, John Snow's in the thick of it, and Danny's on her way over with a few friends to wreck some shop. So glad it's winter break and there's a fireplace handy. (*****)
George R.R. Martin: A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 2)
Ended up powering through the last 240 pages of A Game of Thrones this past Saturday and Sunday, found it almost physically impossible to put the thing down. Cannot wait to see how HBO's audiences react to a few of the major plot twists when the series premieres next year. Volume 2 picks up roughly at the exact same point the prior volume leaves off, and returns to the same mix of already-loved characters while adding in a good number more. Shit got real at the end of the last one. Can't wait to see how much further this one -- and the next four -- take this bizarrely familiar world. (*****)
