Renee came to visit this past weekend – yay!  Although we went to the World’s Lamest Zoo, we still managed to have a good time!

Bumbershoot 2008 (day 3 of 3) was awesome today!  Death Cab for Cutie played an amazing set; it was all I dreamed it would be and more!  The entire day was a ton of fun, other than the fact that I now smell like pot (thanks to everyone at Del Tha Funkee Homosapien).  I think I’ll have to get the three-day pass next year!

#1 highlight of the day was during The Offspring this afternoon when crowd surfing was taken to a whole new level as the audience hoisted a wheelchair up above their heads!  Yes, the owner of the wheelchair was sitting in it.

Well, I finally had my back surgery last Thursday – so far, so good!  I went in at 5:30am surprisingly calm, went through the routine preparations (couple hours), and was in and out of the operating room in less than two hours!  In fact, everything went so smoothly that we were home around 11am.

I’ve been in “Recovery Mode” the past few days, just resting up to let things heal.  On the second day I realized that my grumpy demeanor was probably due to the physio-sensor pad that I had been sleeping on all night (I guess they missed one) as seen here:

Ikea’s summer sale started yesterday!!  JOY!  Too bad I’m not supposed to be doing any heavy lifting 🙁

Also, today I took this awesome picture.  Some of my best work was done while hanging out the window of Megan’s car on I-405 South.  Unfortunately she doesn’t agree and therefore won’t post any of them.  I’ll have to do it myself later.
