That was exciting. Thanks for reading.

The above link goes to Google Video. It's choppier than Castpost but has a larger viewer and unlimited storage.


Some pictures from the past week. Here's Scott at the theater, working on the marquee.

The dog took my bed one night.

This is what a full Record Theater book looks like. It happens once every couple years.

Joe gets in the shot. AGAIN.

Eastman was a notoriously competitive pie baker. Honest.

Jamestown '06

Hawk gets the girl, the win, the award


Why go to Jamestown? Why NOT go to Jamestown? I drove my car to Ed's, we walked to Joe's, Ed drove Joe's car to Dave's, and Dave drove us in his car to Jeff's house in Jamestown.

Dave keeps his body warm and his car well-oiled. Or is it the other way around?

According to Joe's GPS, there was a large body of water nearby.

South Butts. As if there is a North Butts.

Jeff's brother wanted to know why we take pictures of everything. We do it for the same reason he wears tee-shirts outside in the middle of winter.

Dave wins the PRIZE!



No trip to Jamestown is complete without a trip to Johnny's. No food from Johnny's is completely digested without several sprints to the bathroom.

Joe sucks

Jamestown is home of Lucille Ball, as well as the Lucy & Desi Museum. Ed took a picture but was quite unimpressed. I'm trying to imagine a Lucy & Desi Museum that would be really impressive, but can't. Meanwhile, Desi wonders what Ed is up to.

"Fred, take a picture of that sign that says 'Worship' on it." "Okay."

Dudes . . . ON WEED!

This was THE very Denny's where I saw THE Sleater-Kinney after a show on 16 December 2004, who just happen to be THE best band in America.

Milestones



Some milestones from the past few days:

--It's New Year's Day.

--Barring any strange circumstances, I have finally won Jeff's Pro Football Pick'ems. (I'm the New Orleans Fighting FEMAs.) Remember: never choose the Cardinals. Ever.

--Though it expired today, I finally got to see what TotalFark was like. Thanks again to Rottweiler8 for the free month!

--I have almost downloaded nearly every episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, my favorite show of all time. I am watching them in order. Today I will see my favorite episode, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians", for the first time in almost ten years.

--My car hit 77,777 miles.

--Joe Ferguson's first album has finally dropped. I helped write or perform on several tracks. My keyboard solo is atrocious on it.

--"Hottest Girl in School", a song I helped create, has been (semi-) professionally recorded by the one and only Tim Schrock.

--I recently met up with such rare people as Ed, Dawn, Brian and Catherine (see previous posts).

--I almost learned to ice skate. Well, "almost" is a loose term.

--The Canadian Government processed and sent me my new Dual Citizenship card. The last one was seventeen years old, so it was about time I updated the photo.

--My Masters Project for Buffalo State was accepted, meaning I have officially completed all the work for my MA in Social Studies Education.

--Last night I submitted my Masters Project for UB, meaning I need only the approval of my advisor to receive my MA in History.

--I'm doing all my laundry as I type.

--In a few hours, the Bills will finally stop losing.
