And what a week its been...

The last 7 days have been bizarre.
* Took aprox. 13 hours to install merits/ junior review show
and quite a good amount of anxiety of the whole ordeal. Here are some in progress images:

* Mother came into town on a whirlwind trip of less than 24 hours
* Got a 1996 Volvo Stationwagon (dream car accomplished at 21) and returned the rental car I've had for over a month

* Watched some great movies( "Pas Douce" or "Parting Shot," " Amadeus," "The Darjeeling Limited," "The Godfather Pt.1," "Into the Wild," and part of "Lolita")

Here's some images of the actress in "Pas Douce". I have a bit of a crush on her. Some of the best acting I've ever seen. Seriously. She makes you side with a woman who wants to kill herself, but ends up shooting a young teenage boy instead. AND, she's such a natural beauty, which is so rarely seen in American movies. I mean even the people in LOST have on a ton of makeup. What is that about? If you're lost on an island, you definately don't have blush and mascara. C'mon!

Decided that I needed to have a few drinks, especially since it was St. Patrick's Day, so Natalie, Liz Elton, Luke Berhow and myself went over to a bit of a gathering..
It was a little slow until I suggested we play spin the bottle punching. Which was fun but in the middle of the game, the party was called to an end. So, we finished our beers outside and went on our way.
Here's Natalie. The new Special Export Poster girl:

These two images were from a bad idea for my graphic design 3 class, but the images themselves are kinda funny..

Bling Bling Blang

We all like to show off a bit.. Here are some things that I think are especially show-offable.
Do you see the sparkle?

I would really love it if science presented this ring to me in proposal of marriage. I would say yes right away. Wouldn't you?

These pants/ shoes make me gleeful

this man is such a neo greaser.. where you've got the sailor/ tattoo thing down real well, but you're super clean.. afraid to break fingernails even.. This is about as metro as I find attractive.

This was Polanski's bling. Sharon Tate.. such a lovely girl, and the manson family made sure to comment on such capital. Writing PIG in her blood on their front door after brutally murdering her, her unborn child, and three friends in 1969.

Fondly Looking Back...

I have these images, and I feel like I should share them because they're pretty hilarious.
They are from my Walker excursions.. office party, after hours..

I want to post these because I love my job and haven't been working as much lately which makes me appreciate my job even more. After watching performances every weekend for the past 6 weeks, it just feels wrong to not have that anymore..
but i will be going to the zoo next weekend with many many children for work. with my right hand walker man Joey Heinen. (see characature below) * Thanks Andres!
