happy thanksgiving

so as promised, here are some of the best shots from iceland. happy thanksgiving.

oh baby, houston

we have recently stepped into the 20th century. we're not quite in 21th century yet, give us some more time. but we have a functioning computer and a printer/scanner. and also, like i posted earlier, i found a place to print my black/white photos here in denver. these three are from houston taken around 2008/2009. i drove around the 59 area, on the other side of the ballpark and took the photo of the train tracks. that area was pretty fascinating because right next to new, state-of-the-art condos, was piled up garbage and old railroad tracks. the chairs were sitting out front of a goodwill type place close to the star of hope, which is also downtown. and you might recognize those guys at the top. the huge beatles statues were behind a target off of i-10, behind a locked gate. pete and i got as close as we could and i snapped that photo. so now that i have a scanner, i'm going to scan some of our iceland photos and upload those soon as well.

take a load off your feet

we haven't been hiking in a few weeks. but the weather is still holding up. these are from our previous hike to roxborough.

in other news, are the mets trying to prove that they are one of the dumbest baseball franchises? terry collins? you hire terry collins to manage your team? really? that guy has sucked everywhere he's been. he's a quitter. you had all this time, all these resources and you hire terry collins. wow.

greatest video of all time.

bear and candles

the candles were lit. the cat was in his bed. and as we layed together, cuddling, whispering words and purrs of love to each other, i thought, is this wrong? is my love misplaced?

no. no. it is not wrong. our love is not wrong. our love is eternal. and although current legislation makes our love wrong in the eyes of society, i say we shun society. we make our love known and to hell with the world! we will find a way for man and cat to be one.

bad cover version

i was listening to pulp the other day, which i do from time to time and i came across the song "bad cover version."

there were some lyrics in particular that struck me:

"aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that got it so wrong,
it's like a later 'tom and jerry' when the two of them could talk,
like the stones since the eighties, like the last days of southfork,
like 'planet of the apes' on tv, the second side of 'til the band comes in',
like an own-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let you down my friend."

i actually heard those lyrics and stopped mid-motion and laughed. because that will be me one day. and it won't be long.
