Pretty much every weekend we go adventuring and treasure hunting in weird places while taking pictures. Through all this, I'm really starting to get more and more interested with the people that devote their lives to run these places.

My friend Terry comes to town once a month to DJ.

So the free shoes I sent away for on March 17th showed up today! Unfortunately, due to some unseen clause about only sending in one pair per box, it doesn't look like Nicole will be getting her pair which totally sucks. However, I now own the Christian Louboutins of cool kid shoes (and they sent me the more expensive model too!).

I saw a face with a hand offering a rude gesture. Nicole saw...something else.

Our collection is growing.

This was in the driveway when I got home today. R.I.P. little birdie.

Nicole's uncle asked her to design some characters for his dog toy line. Since she doesn't like drawing, she decided to just make them out of clay.

I seem to be attracted to lawn ornaments today. Just 'cause.

Also, since I'm unable to bend my arm all the way for the next week, this will be the first day of Point and Shoot Snapshot Week.

Most of today spent getting this stuff embedded in my skin forever by these things.

I drove out to Erie, PA to hang out with friends and get tattooed.

I really hated that city the first few times I went out there, but it's grown on me immensely. The way motivated people are able to really capitalize and exploit the apparent negatives of a second rate city is really impressive to me. For example, the the local skateboarders somehow managed to procure super prime realestate right in the middle of their downtown, and are converting it into an diy indoor skatepark. I can't imagine how expensive/political this would be to do in any other place, but out there it's totally happening. And that's just one of the many projects that people I know have going on.

If you (or anyone?) have been keeping up with this blog, you know that for the past few months we've been dealing with a skunk that lives in our yard. We've pretty much given up on using the trap since we've caught every other species of animal indigenous to this climate other than the one we want. However, since the smell hasn't been bad recently, I went to investigate/take a picture of the skunk hole tonight. Hopefully he's moved somewhere else.

Here's another animal house. And a picture that's from Sunday, but just came back from the roll I had developed tonight.

Melt is probably my favoite place to eat in the whole city. I'm always supprised by how small their kitchen is though.

Speaking of this city, last week there was a story on the news about the cops ignoring a naked body on the side of the highway for over two hours even though they recieved multiple calls. We drove by that spot the day it happened, and drove by it again tonight. Roadside monuments always make me feel a little strange.

One of the awesome perks of not eating meat is choking down a handfull of pills with dinner every night. Multivitamins x3, a vitamin B supplement, and Cadbury Easter candy to make things not so terrible.

When I came in to work today, I was shocked by my coworker's new found but striking resemblance to Lex Luthor. Since we work across from each other, this is pretty much my view whenever I turn around now.

Speaking of bald people, we have a counter at work where people put free food. Sometimes it will have a box of doughnuts or bagels someone brought in to be nice, or left over props/catering from shoots. Today, I found a bag of Cheetos. Since I didn't have anything for lunch, I greedily ran off with a huge pile to eat in my office. They were delicious. While going back for seconds, I was intercepted and told the origins of said Cheetos. I guess Shaquille O'Neil was in our studio this weekend recording something, and apparently the big guy couldn't take on the Family Size bag all by himself. So yeah, I just unwittingly ate Shaq's leftover Cheetos for lunch. And now I'm wondering if he poured them in a bowl or was just eating out of the bag with his hands...

We went to see Cirque Du Soleil today. Since they don't allow cameras, here's my best (failed) Cirque Du Soleil jump.

When the weather is nice, we go tresspassing for fun. Nicole's dad found a American Five-lined Skink. When they're young, they have bright blue tails (they're often referred to as "Blue-tailed Skink"). As they become adults the tail color fades out, and their heads turn red.
