When did your head get to be so big?


Another picture from my brother. Casey, honestly, you need to get your own blog.

That being said, of course I'm going to post this picture though b/c it kicks ass.

Why Beverages?




I took this pic today of this cold green tea that is one of my favorite refreshments ever (probably second only to vitamin water, and maybe tied actually). That really isn't interesting in itself, I know, but I realized for the first time that I tend to take pictures of beverages all the time. Which is odd, especially b/c it hardly ever occurs to me to take pictures in the first place. So, why beverages? Plus, the best painting I've ever done is of a cappucino. So, I don't know. It's odd. Maybe I'm just thirsty. I don't think that's it though.

Shady Dealings in Chinatown




On Saturday, I was stopped on the street in Chinatown by this lady, who said she could lead my friend and I to some really nice purses. We followed her about three blocks, through a closed restaurant, up a sketchy elevator to one of those secret little shops selling fake bags and Tiffany jewelery. Honestly, after all the drama getting there, I probably would have bought whatever they were selling. What a genius marketing ploy. Even if I was being had, I had a fun time doing it.

Highlight of the Week: (NEW FEATURE)

Last week's highlight of the week was late night Japanese karaoke on Sat (Sun really). Songs included (not all sung by me) - Brass Pocket by the Pretenders, Let's Stay Together by Al Green and Summer Nights / Grease.

Incidentally, the low light of the week had to be killing the kiwi-sized spider in my room. I don't know how much longer I can stand these crawly things in my place o' sleeping.

My brother wanted me to post this picture

Uh-Oh



I just checked my last two postings. They are both about TV. That makes me kind of sad, but the main reason for this is because I am editing myself quite a bit on this blog. It's important to edit a blog, because damn it, anyone can read it. But on the other hand, editing too much leaves you with a blog about TV.

Anyway, right now I am waiting to go out tonight. No idea where we're going exactly, but I'm sure that will work itself out soon enough.

Oh Lucky Day


Another season of Surreal Life and Celebrity Fit Club. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion, excpet nobody gets hurts. Well, except for their feelings. Count me in.

The Daily Show

I have no idea how to get tickets to the Daily Show. I looked on the website, but no info there, and that's as far as I go. I would really like them just to appear in my hand.

Anyway, I'm watching the show right now. They changed the whole set, and I'm not a big fan of the new look. Oh well.

Don't know why I didn't go here earlier. So, here's some paintings as seen through my crappy camera phone.

Coffee Drink of Choice?


So, I am really not high maintenence at all, but I have the most annoying coffee order at Sbucks. (Grande 2-pump sugar free vanilla soy latte) Anyway, it's pretty embarrasing to order, but I can't help it, I like it. So, I'm wondering what you all order for coffee.
