Old dug-up pictures

I went to the store, and this was what I bought. This means something.

My God!

it's full of stars!

Taking tennis back to the streets.

Tennis is no longer for country clubs. We're here.
Note the dynamic intensity of the serving style.








Note closer!

Luke

Luke got this bad boy when he was around 20.

We were throwing the old swineskin around, and lo and behold, it began to snow. December first.



Evan took the opportunity to curse the heavens, as he left Minneapolis with the hopes of never seeing snow again.

Harper and I built him a bike. it looks purdy, and its not even quite done.

yes, that is butter.

Thanksgiving visitor mugshots

these are my co-workers on halloween.

we had a houseguest from ol' MPLS last weekend, and a breakfast cookin one at that!




turns out the hat vendor isnt cool with people being smartasses and taking pictures with the fancy hats. probably could never have seen that coming.


ferry rides are always fun- this time it was both fun and absolutely freezing. apparently a sexy doctor from a tv show rides the ferry all the time, so we went to go find him with monica. sadly, no dice.

My cousin David is in town here teaching at UW, one of the very few people that I know in Seattle. He had tickets to a game of 'football', and we attended to watch the University of Washington turn a stunning lead into a disasterous collapse. The stadium looks like this:



I guess our seats had a good view, if you like the whole 'super cool view of lakes and two full mountain ranges' thing. The cascades are in the background here and the Olympic range could be viewed with a laborious 90 degree rotation of the head. Because of the low haze/clouds, Mt. Rainier couldn't be seen, but if you could just picture this scene with the addition of a Mt. Fuji-caliber peak in the background, thats what you get on a good day.

These are some old pictures from a fight I went to last winter. I managed to make them look pretty horrible the first time I edited them, but this time around they look a bit better in black and white.

As a 170 pound male, it's a little difficult to try to accept the fact that a 130 pound woman has upwards of a 90% chance of beating you in a fair fight, but watching these people brings it home.

Hire me to be a Grave robber!

Dear sir,

I recently saw your Craigslist job posting for a faux grave robber. I beleive I am uniquely suited for the job. This Halloween, you need someone to dig a grave in your front yard and creep out the guests, I get it. I beleive I have that special combination of class and creepiness that you are looking for. Observe:



Though I usually work alone, in the thick of the night, I understand the importance of teamwork when the casket, undead body, or riches are too heavy for one man to lift by his self. I assure you that I have three years of grave-digging experience, one at the managerial level. Also proficient in Excel and Powerpoint.

Shitface's veto number four!

if you watch carefully, you can see tom waits' vocal cords turning into solid scar tissue as he forces his voice to sound like that. this is an old recording; I'm sure nowadays he couldn't sing any other way. Like when your momma told you to stop making that fool face or it would get stuck just like that.



man this is a good song.

Last weekend, I saw this movie:



As you can tell from the picture, It was a slow paced, moody piece that really gave the actors room to practice their craft.

I was introduced to the first of these movies after a $1.50 VHS clearance splurge, and this new addition to the 'storyline' really helped tie up all the loose ends. For example: shipping containers can hold many many MANY more 'super zombies' than you would have ever imagined. Its like clowns in a phone booth with those things.

And for those of you interested in getting into the cinematic make-up trade, throw away that make-up kit and get yourself a computer. Any reasonably close shot of our super-powered, kurkri-wielding heroine sported over-done computer smoothing of her face.

Great movie. Great movie.

More guests, more wine, and some incidental pictures.
