Don’t Dump Brains

You been keeping up with my pictures? I’ve been awfully shutterbuggy lately, especially this weekend at the JP Open Studios. Enjoy!

Besides that, I’ve been working my ass off. The commute sucks, but at least I now have a pyooter of my own! They let me set it up myself, and the poor thing is tweaked to hell already. It didn’t stand a chance with me setting it up. By the time the real administrator got to it, it already had Firefox and Sunbird.

Now maybe I can start to get some real work done!

Dad posts about his admiration for Memphis Bloggers regarding LIA/R. Check it out, y’all.
I love what’s been happening lately. Go QAC! Go EJ! Rawk!

Boston’s great, although the navigation is driving me up the wall. Today was the first day of JP Open Studios. Basically, everyone in the neighborhood had their doors open to us and invited us in for wine and cheese! We had so much fun! I’ll definitely be posting pictures very soon, but we’re going to milk a little more out of the day first. We’re grabbing a few beers and heading to the roof to look at the night sky. At the end of the block, there is a large gathering at the Latin church. Some upbeat guy with a guitar is singing, and the place is packed with people dancing and waving their hands in the air. I think we’ll be able to hear it from up there. Fun!

On Sunday, we had to decide between a JP benefit for this apparently excellent Cuban restaurant (El Oriental de Cuba) that was firebombed this past summer and seeing Buffalo Tom close out the Brookline 300 celebration. Since Buffalo Tom is a band I used to go see all the time when I lived in Boston back in the day, and Brookline (my old neighborhood) was having its 300th year anniversary, we decided to do the latter. Turns out, Jack and Meg ended up at the Milky Way Lounge (in JP, my neighborhood) to bowl a few games. So they are always in my neighborhoods (Midtown Memphis, Jamaica Plain in Boston), although not where I am… although Aaron swears saw the back of Jack White’s head at the P&H one night. The White Stripes are playing a few shows at the Opera House here, but honestly, the tickets were EXPENSIVE!!! I’m going to Black Keys instead. Only one rockin’ blues duo per season. I have a job, after all!

I have to share these sometimes. I love this picture. I wanna kiss all the people in the gulf doing animal rescues.
