I totally gave Jason an emo haircut.

Somehow, with no professional training, I managed to give Jason this rad emo haircut. Can’t you see the pain dripping down from his bangs?

Ultimately, he decided it was not a look he particularly wanted to rock, but it was fun.

Too bad I effed it up right after I took this picture. Oops. He’ll just have to use gel until it grows out a bit.

Unlocked, stocked, and two smoked salmons.

Shane B has the most well stocked freezer I’ve ever seen. Kudos to you, old man.

Don’t ask why I was taking secret pictures of Shane’s place while he was gone. Just don’t.

Whoooooo’s Not Evil?

Monday, March 13th, 2006

Also from the same evening, this is a little game I like to play called “Who’s Not Evil?”

Not evil!

There are varying degrees of evil in this photo, but it’s ok, see, because E is wearing magical armwarmers.

More gushing about Stephanie’s genes

I finally got film back from my trek to Iowa and my first meeting with Sir Isaac Alexander.*

I was insanely pleased with the photographs I took of Stephanie and her loinfruit. So, so immensely pleased that I’m posting them. Even though they’re a Flickr set. They make my ovaries tingle.

*Dude, is it ok if I use babies’ names online? I mean, who’s going to google him? Santa?

A little piece of zen for you today.

Just for you, some siblingness.

My brother, the homecoming king. See how nonchalantly he poses? See how benevolent of a ruler he is? That’s right.

My sister graduated from the U of I on Saturday, and now that she’s a college graduate, I gave her the thing she needs most:

a knitted robot.

Festivus is for the rest of GSLIS

Last night was the long awaited Festivus/Glogg party. It was really quite nice. Enough people to have lots of coversations to choose from, but not so many that the place got wrecked. And Angie brought a sippy cup, so there were no spills.

Check out the Flickr set, complete with Festivus pole, grievances, and feats of strength. (You can see the results of the sit-and-reach in one of the photos.)

This picture is horribly outdated!

Congratulations to Stephanie! She’s a mom!

I don’t have any new-baby photos, but I do have the recently (like still dripping wet) photos I finally developed of her in October. Click on the photo for a few more. You’ll eventually be able to see the creme de la creme in the gallery, but I have to finish the semester first.

You know who’s great? Jason.

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

You may think, “I already knew she felt that way”, but I had forgotten just how having a good, solid person on your team can be great.

Like, when you got the time wrong for the opening of the movie theater, and need them to go pick up HP tickets …

Or being late for class, and them driving you so you don’t miss your group (effing) project meeting.

Or when they go back to the movie theater A SECOND TIME to get the rest of the tickets that you had promised people you’d get them.

THAT, that is what makes you feel loved. Loved, and a bit guilty.

Stephanie Alexander is pregant/famous

Congrats to Stephanie, for being featured in the Daily Q&A on the NANOWRIMO website! Check the lower left-hand side of the page.

She used the photo I took of her, too. Props all around! A rubber chicken for you! A hairspray-covered mirror for me!
