About

I'm an expat Californian who is obsessed with traveling to strange and exotic destinations in the former Communist Bloc. I also like tacos, surfing, and the geopolitics of oil. Washington, D.C. is currently my home, but I'm looking to break out of this fetid swamp someday. Read more about me here, check out my photo album, or send me an e-mail.

Just dropped a slobber encrusted tennis ball on my keyboard. Sure is adorable, though.

More half smoke art at Ben's Chili Bowl

Oh, I definitely will. I love Ben's. Half of the photos on my phone are of their half smokes. This was my reward for helping Elisabeth move a couch from Silver Spring to Adams Morgan.

Previous art can be found here.

What can you do with an $8 ukulele?

Not much, except drive everyone at home and the office absolutely crazy.

Flew over a volcano today. New career track: helicopter pilot. That's just how I roll.

Flickr moblog test post


Flickr moblog test post, originally uploaded by lfincher.

Testing out flickr's moblog capability

[Brilliant. It actually works. Now that I can post to lindsayfincher.com via my phone, I'll never have to use my computer to actually write a post that contains any substance whatsoever. Instead, I will merely post poor quality photos from my Treo, with brief descriptions that lack proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Eh, kidding. This could be a fun feature to use when I'm traveling.]
