red friday

I went swimming in a sea of leaves today. All ticks and mites aside, it was pretty fun.

Don't act like my mom doesn't have the best dishware.


...and jewelry (that she never wears).

oh snap

Ryan's class exhibition was tonight. I'm in a few of these, can you spot me? prize maybe offered?

Thanksgiving Celebratory Event, 2009
Better than last year's-probably because it's a "school night," and drinking on those nights screams "rebellion."

rocks rock harder

Look at my jorts! I could be cutting (har har) it a little close as far as length is concerned, but hey.


Sadly, I did not see Melt Banana and instead opted to fill my evening with a different sort of rock: geology. I did go through three rain forests worth of note cards, though. If only learning about anticlines could be more like this.
Finally: I can't believe I just found this. wait until he talks about the spaniel puppy he won for fifty cents and recites a monologue from The Outsiders.

you can always retake a class...

but you can never relive a Confederate Fagg show.

thank you Ryan, for this gem:


...and here is what a Shandon bike ride yields:




...and another thing!
I know it's terrible, and I'm kind of sorry, guys, but it's just... that I associate your cause with people and bands who really, really irritate me.

now, spit!

I'll be in my late twenties once my wisdom teef finally surface.
I went to the dentist today. It was not as bad as I anticipated-not nearly at all. I thought I had this really awful cavity in a pretty prominent tooth, but it's actually just a receding gum line exposing the root. Oh good. Apparently a seemingly excessive amount of fluoride will fix the problem.

Here's what happened:

(tangible) things I'm working on

...aside from my grade point average.

reattaching my ballerina's arm
fixing broken jewelry
revamping old jewelry
actually wearing the contents of my closet--none of this has seen the light of day (NOTE: there are roughly 2.5 layers pictured).
attempting to make the sugar skull cherubs I painted during my bout with swine flu less...jim crow-ish.

talk radio

J. Ruttle co-hosted my "playing favorites" radio show with me. Our gift to the listener: two hours of The Wedding Present. We also gave (or would have if you called in) away a ghost story written by John, two signed head shots of ourselves, DJ Danasaur-made mix tape and a song written about you by us. While we did not get any donations, we received a "heavy breather" phone call and DJ Foxtrot is still going to publish said ghost story.

friday crafternoon

Kay and I are in charge of this year's WUSC fundraising money meter. Once we decide there is adequate glitter, I'll post a full photo. Kay also has some pretty gross pumpkins on her porch..



Before implosion, this pumpkin read as "R U A WHORE?"
