not SO crappy pictures
primarily in order to show up jason, i am posting about pictures i put up this weekend. first set is of tyler in his max costume. he had a cold when we were forcing him to try it on and was super unhappy about the whole event. so forgive him the tears. and the fact that we never actually got the whole thing on him.
jason, curse you, take more pictures.
oh, ps and also i took pictures several weeks ago of raccoons coming in my window. and then my inadvisable course of action in feeding them cat food.

war wounds
tyler came over today to try on his max costume that i made. sweet jesus, he was the cutest white fluff ball i've ever seen. not that i took any pictures of that. mostly because he wanted it off so badly so he could go outside and stand on the mini-skateboard.
but i did get a picture of his broken face. it turns out that he fell onto some brick and the brick bricked back. one stitch later, i present to you, tyler the mango-munching drool monster.

$250
recently i got an email from a teacher at USF asking me to give a 1.5 hour lecture on anime on campus. in return for this generous chunk of my oh-so-valuable time, i would be reimbursed to the tune of 250 DOLLARS. my response to this, obviously, was terror and greed. public speaking? cash money?
cash money won out. so on november 7th i'll be giving a (theoretically) well-attended event at my alma mater. and i just talked to the teacher and he explained that it's not really so much about me lecturing as it is about me introducing video clips and playing them. he said if it's a really gripping story i could show up to 30 minutes worth of video in one fell swoop. i will hardly have to talk at all! for $250! this is awesome!

saturday, download festival, shoreline ampitheatre
conversations with dave and david (aka polly and pollyanna)
ON THE MERITS OF LITERATURE
me: so polly, enjoying your book?
polly: what? my name isn't polly.
me: well i can't remember the name of the magician's nephew.
polly: so i have to be polly?
me: we all have our crosses to bear.
sea basss: mine is cayenne pepper.
THE RIGHT WAY TO GROOVE
me: why doesn't your little friend dance, polly?
polly: he's more of a head-nodder.
me: well in all of pollyanna's stoic excitement he should be careful not to fall out of a tree and break his arm because you know what that leads to.
polly: pollyanna?
me: the diminutive of you.
polly: that doesn't quite work.
me: shut it polly.
pollyanna: what does it lead to?
me (with relish): jam and home visits.
sea basss: i like marmalade.
me: someone get the baster!
sea basss: i said marmalade!
me: it's time to marinade!
