RETRO-spectivea blog about everything.

A monster snow storm hit the DC Metro area this past weekend, leaving a wonderful 32 inches of snow for us mortals to clean up…

I don’t think I’ve seen that much snow ever in this area, we even beat the 1922 record of 27 inches O_O, at least we didn’t go past the 3-feet mark as some people expected.

Cleanup has been a real mess around this parts, a lot of streets haven’t been cleaned up properly, or cleaned up at all, you can see tons of cars under gigantic piles of snow.

Buying groceries has been pretty much a nightmare too, stores are using this emergency as an excuse to raise prices…

Metro services are not working properly, only underground trains are working. Buses are only running on emergency-routes, so pretty much all public transportation is screwed up.

For kids this is great, they won’t have classes most of this week, or the whole week, it all depends on tomorrow’s storm.

I’m gonna leave you with some pictures I took when it finally stopped snowing on Saturday afternoon:

I’m gonna be posting on my other blog a little video I took just before we started cleaning up our front entrance, I won’t post it here because it’s in Spanish, but check it out if you are curious.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Glad to see AVATAR is coming along nicely. It really does feel like they stayed true to the spirit of the series. Lets hope I’m right.

“DO NOT FOLD” is the epic tale of a postal worker trying to fit in postmodern society and small mail boxes .

While I find it funny you also have to admit the mail box is pretty small for an envelope that big…

This new take on the tale of “Robin Hood and his Merry Men” feels more like “Robin Hood meets 300,” it looks cool and all but this looks like a really angry Robin Hood =S

It looks awesome, but all I see is Iron Man fighting a bunch of robots, I hope they include a few of his regular enemies from the comic books…

American Apparel is holding that which is the most important contest in the world.

The contest is quite popular so far, and so many juicy entries aswell, such as the one above. Follow this link to cast your vote, and to enjoy some international apple bottoms.

I just saw this on TV this morning, I think the guy deserved it, I’m sure a lot of people don’t like to talk about the $hit they’ve gone through at certain point in their lives, sure Gibson has issues, bur reporters often try to dig into old stuff for the sake of ratings, this is just an example of what NOT to ask or even mention on an interview.

As you can see the reporter didn’t know when to stop, he just kept going trying to dig in deeper, you don’t do that on national TV, let alone to Mel Gibson, the reporter should be thankful he wasn’t called something more derogatory.

Oh, and Mel Gibson FTW.
