good times

29 April 2009


More from that infamous night at King Tut's. I like the above picture a lot. Maybe the photographer could frame it for me as a present?


I wish I could explain this picture. Moe can talk me into anything.

I don't know what I love more, the reporter's reaction or the close up of the dog sitting down. Or maybe that "Dixie" is playing in the background. There's too many good things here.

back on it

I took a break from this crazy thing called blogging, maybe because the timeline (see below) made me step back and want to just live. That, and Colleen and Cevin were visiting this weekend and we were busy doing fun stuff. Here's a few pictures of a good weekend:





life as a timeline

07 April 2009


I found out yesterday that the mom of one of my best friends had died. I had known her mostly in my childhood- thinking about her triggered lots of memories from that era. When I found out, I was working on a architecture project timeline graphic. As I drew the timeline and thought about life (as death often makes you do) I wondered what my life would look like mapped out. Were there patterns? What would it look like in another thirty years? So here it is:

If you can't tell, the graphics rising and falling have to do with bad times and good times. I noticed that after a major change that things got much better, with one notable exception. Also, with Alice my life has taken a more stable sine wave pattern instead of gradual rises with drastic falls. Looking back, I see I have much to be thankful for, not least of all the present.

Do you like rap mash ups and Sufjan Stevens, like me? Then you will also think this is awesome:


Sampled Sufjan with Blackalicious and Outkast raps! Tor has taken two disparate favorites of my music library and put them together! Listen to it for free here.
