I got 1,560 shots worth of expired film today with another 1,200 on the way (anyone want any expired film?). In the process, I got to journey into the heart of an awesome second hand store. Check out this stereo. Everything still works, I even got to listen to the 8 track. Anyone need to make a call?

Victor and Eric were in town for dinner tonight.

The carnivorous plant terrarium Nicole got for her birthday is starting to sprout.

We went foraging for Morel mushrooms today. These can sell for as much as $200 a pound to some gourmet French restaurants, but we just have fun seaching in the forest so we can cook and eat them.

The mushrooms grow in the same woods where we found the nest I posted a few weeks ago. The eggs are now hatched, and today we saw this guy futally attempting to hurtle a train track. Luckly, Nicole was able to help it over the track so it could go swimming with its parents.

Nicole also took the best shot of the day today.

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.
