So I’m belatedly posting about my trip to Charleston, to visit Niquie and Jared.  I blame Niquie, for not getting back to me with a picture.  It is not my own lax attitude.  Seriously.

Though it was a bit rushed — only stayed one night — it was fun.  There was beer, and lots of walking around downtown Charleston.  They have some beautiful historic buildings there, and there was lots of wind by the coast.  I love me some wind.  I also watched Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels for the first time ever.  Guy Ritchie films remind me of Ravel’s Bolero.  They start out slow, and then eventually build to a fever pitch where blood is flying, things are exploding, and baby Jesus is running around twirling his umbilical cord like a lasso and crying out, “Yippee kayay, motherfucker!!!” as he ropes in triple-cunted undead hookers.

Anyway, here are a few pics from the trip.  Apparently the new WordPress 2.5 “gallery” feature doesn’t work so well for me, so I’ll have to do this manually….

I run my personal site’s blog using WordPress. It automatically posts everything I write there to LiveJournal. Well, WordPress has recently come out with a major upgrade, so up shall I grade.  Hopefully nothing bad will come of this.

EDIT: Looks like everything went swimmingly.  For those of you who have a similar setup, there was one small change that needed to be made to the LiveJournal crossposter plugin, and that change can be found here.
