Okay uh, what do we have here? My favorite jalepeno chips are not sold around here anymore so I mail-ordered a bunch of them. We got (and assembled) some new furniture last week. There was frost, sun, sexy star wars cards and Ryan on instagram. I got progressively sicker and then saw a cool old building.
Dog pictures as usual. Sleeping, playing, sleeping, begging and walking.
My pal Corey (who started out as an internet friend!!) came by Victoria the other day with presents: a cool t-shirt and some candy from Thailand. My most majestic socks. A tiny gingerbread man. Me being too cool on the bus and then having my legs fall completely asleep. A new witch shirt from Ryan. Watching nature shows on our new TV. Being in nature. A back alley shoe shine door. Hairstyle. Ryan in his long underwear and socks. Adventure Time. Ira. The worst sidewalk ever. An onion ring that says no. Long moss. Ryan getting the top of his butt tattooed by Colin Wiley.
And yeah, that's what my life looks like these days in a nutshell. Well some of it anyway. There's actually a lot more coffee, TV, tattoo shops, and walking to and from places.
And now...links!
