DAMN IS THIS A SWEATY SUMMER

Hey Sarah- Thank you for the tip. I've checked it out and i must say it is excellent. I don't know if you alls remember my friend Derek but he gets called all the time for looking like Jemaine .

Anyway just saying Hello to all ya'll who wander past this ol' blog every now and again. I was in Italy a few months back w/ my girlfriend. We spent most of our time in Sicily talkin up a storm of Italian and whipping thru hillsides on our fantastic silver motorino.




I'll be posting some more photos and drawings on my new blog http://finedooginarts.blogspot.com

Hope you're all well!

just thought you all should know...

i am currently (and very definitely) buzzed off of one glass of wine.

how i let this happen, i do not know.
what i do know is that this tells me it has been far too long since i have seen you.


that, and it makes me think of the first pizza night.

wow.




WOW!

A smoke signal for Douglas

Doug, you must watch the series "Flight of the Conchord". It is the best show I've seen in years and for some reason it reminds me of you. You'd love it. Trust me. It's on HBO. Save your nickles. Or go to a friends house.

F the new Blogger

And why didn't I think to put a cool name. F.

because this city just can't cope

'sup ragazz-s,

listen, it's 8:35 in the am here in seattle and am eating some bomb-diggity mexican leftovers after just getting back from the Best Walk Ever (save maybe for Kate and Courtney - and also Becky and soon Darcy's - walk across Spain).
"why?" you ask.
well, let me tell you.
It's SNOWING in SEATTLE.
yes, that's right. *actual* snow that's *actually* sticking.
none of this "lets snow some and then ICE the damn town."
no, this is real and beautiful and all i want to do is build a fort and playfully chuck snowballs at strangers.

ahh, well.

so, instead of working today (as I work in accordance with the schedule of the seattle public school district), i moved my car so it wouldn't get towed (after removing about an inch and a half of fresh snow from it's windows) and then started walking around, watching the sun come up in a city that is covered in beautiful snow.

it's was f**king a-may-zing.

i love you all.

especially sarah. who has pineapples. or did.

Just one more, look at this monsterous(kidding) bud I found in a corn field in Nebraska. Also, the farmer was honestly the finest corn fed specimen I've ever seen. I kick myself for not taking his picture.

Hi guys, Carmella I love the use of "asinine". So I just got back from a trip to Mexico. Nayarit and Sinaloa where I did some work on a pineapple farm. Here's a pic or two...Hope your all great!

carm.

Hi!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say hello, hope everyone is doing well. Things are good down here. My work burned down to the ground, but I am still working and I think my boss is going to pull through it. Going to Mesico pretty soon for work and I'm excited about that. I'd like to know how you are all doing! Spizzle my nokes yo.
-Sarah
