Project: Mouse Removal
Posted on Saturday, September 13, 2008
Okay ... now this is getting ridiculous. At 4:00am I was awoken by a carcass that was being thrown around my room. Said carcass? A small mouse. Said thrower? The evil murderess Spring. This is the third mouse in ten days.
After a long night of tossing a carcass around my bedroom, why not take a nap? Oh, I have an idea ... why not use the dead mouse as a pillow?!
Okay. Now it's time for the big guns. I took a trip to Home Depot and Stop-n-Shop today and bought a variety of no-kill mouse traps. Behold my arsenal:
Yes. This is how a vegetarian rids his house of mice. But really, all I ask is for the luxury of sleeping through a night without having to remove a dead animal from my room. Is that really too much to ask for? Wish me luck...
Terrorism At Home

Another mouse! Where am I living? When I lived at a house that looked like it could tumble down at any second, I never had mice. I move into this nice place, and this is mouse #2. Oi.
Spring decided to terrorize this one for a bit. As a vegetarian, earth-loving hippie, i was unable to let her continue running around the house with a squeaking mouse in her mouth all evening ... so I rescued this one. Shortly after this photo was taken, Spring's fun was abruptly halted, and I let the mouse go outside. I told it to tell its friends what atrocities it had seen in my house. "Don't come back!" I yelled, as it scurried off into the darkness. As my words echoed into the night, I realized that mice probably don't understand English. And now my neighbors probably think I'm crazy. Oh well...
Proud Killer.

I was awoken at 5:30 this morning to the sounds of happy playing. I assumed that Spring had gotten her paws on an Obama bracelet again ... so I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. But after minutes of bouncing, loud purring, and darting around in the dark, I decided to investigate. Leaning my head over the edge of the bed, I peered into the darkness of my room. On the floor I could make out a small dark mass, which I assumed was one of her many toys that had suddenly became incredibly fun to play with at 5:30 in the morning. As I reached for it, I suddenly had a second thought. I grabbed a flashlight from the side table ... and well, you can see what I found.
A few minutes later (after some petting, a quick photo shoot, some crunchy Friskies treats and a lot of Lysol) this poor creature found its way to an outdoor garbage bag. As I paused on the sidewalk and squinted at the new sun rising over Flemington, I came to the realization that the my darling little girl is actually a cold-hearted murderess. I guess it's a good thing that she's on my side ... at least most of the time.
Adam & Kevin's 2008 Road Trip
Posted on Monday, September 01, 2008 August 24-30th, 2008
Over seven days, my brother and I hit the entire northeast; traveling through New Jersey, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. We climbed Mt. Washington, explored the White Mountains, ate breakfast in Vermont, checked out Mt. Desert Island and Bar Harbor, spent a few minutes in the shopping mecca that is Freeport, Maine, and then moved southward to Plymouth, Massachusetts and Mystic, Connecticut, toured the Nautilus Submarine, stopped by Foxwoods Casino, and then trekked back to NJ. We had a great time, and some fantastic weather ... I hope you enjoy the photos!
Fame becomes me.

I've just received email conformation that one of my photos will be appearing in a widely distributed New Jersey magazine's October issue. Anyone wanna guess which one?
Vacation, Part One
Posted on Sunday, June 15, 2008
My vacation began Saturday at Ocean Beach, NJ, and ended Sunday. Now it's back to work for two days, and then back to the beach again for the rest of the week. That means lots of driving, but as much vacation as I could get from work on short notice. My photos of the trip (so far) are on Flickr.

My glowing, orange face will be grace page C-1 of the Hunterdon County Democrat newspaper this week. Here's a sneak peek!

Some Crazy Garbage.com has probably received more hits in the last 12 hours since I posted my video of Sue Simmons saying the F-word than in the past 5 years. All I can say is -- thanks for visiting!
Concerning Sue ... a debate of sorts has erupted in the Comments of my Sue Simmons Has A Potty Mouth post about whether or not she should be fired. I would like to throw my hat into the ring and say: No, she should not be fired. She should not be fined, suspended, yelled at, or even criticized. She said a word that most of us say every day. Sure it was on live television, but it was after 10 o'clock and if your sheltered kids who have never heard the word before, heard it for the first time on that live news break, then you should be ashamed for letting them watch Medium. As someone in the Comments pointed out -- you saw a lady drown a baby in a bathtub last night on Medium. If your kids were watching that, then shame on you. Plus she apologized on the 11 o'clock news for her slip-up. She said, "I have to acknowledge an unfortunate incident ... I used a word that many people find offensive. It was a mistake I made and I'm truly sorry." I commend Simmons for making a mistake and owning up to it.
