Hey!  Happy New Year!  I’m going to leave a few holiday things here before they become totally irrelevant.  I guess I frequently put irrelevant things here.  I should rename this The Irrelevant Blog.  You’d read that, right?

Right, so, I traveled up to North Dakota for holiday times with Thomas and his family.  It was glorious.  The snow!  The cold!  The FOOD!

View from the O’Neil Farm, wind farm weirdness, night sky/night trees, making doughnuts!, rolling and cooking lefse.

I’m resolving to be braver and have more adventure.  Eat your hearts out.

The new year is just old enough to have lost some of its luster.  Winter doldrums are setting in (even though we’re experiencing the mildest winter in recent memory) but I’ve got just the thing to keep the bad at bay:  A photo bomb!

I’ve  been through two jewel toned hair situations this year.  The blue was felicitous, but I think the aubergine is more my speed.

This push button light switch might have easily made my week if I hadn’t also ate wild boar that SAME WEEK.  SUCH LUXURY.

A snippet of our Mardi Gras party this year.  Less boisterous than last year, but no less fat or drunk.  I took precious few photos, so I’m waiting to see what else surfaces from that magical evening.

This here timepiece was a (very generous and thoughtful) Christmas gift from my best friend, Linmis.  One probably needs to see it in motion to fully appreciate it, but you can visit the very old,  poorly designed, noisy (in more ways than one)  website of the designer here.

Eat your hearts out,

Did I go over a month without posting a single thing here?  Yes, yes I did.  But I have really good excuses.  I’ll tell you all about them:

I moved to a new place!  The old place had charm, but it also had vermin-friends living in the ceiling/walls and an asshole landlord.  C’est la vie.  My new place has AMENITIES, not the least of which is a jacuzzi tub(!!!).  Unpacking has been slow and painful since the new place has a fraction of the storage space the old place did, but the end is in sight.  Regardless, the packing/moving/unpacking has been keeping me very occupied (not to mention those pesky jobs eating up my blogging time).  More photos to come as the place comes together.

Besides the move I’ve managed to take some photos here and there of other activities that are not blog-updation:

Also, I’ve been working on an illustration, it’s not finished yet but here’s a little piece of the puzzle:

Eat your hearts out,

Lots and lots of work and little else.  That’s my excuse for not posting here in a dogs age.  But more on that later.

I can see the gears of summer are in full motion (people in very little clothing with excessive sunburn) but it’s looking like the summer of 2011 is mostly about putting away fun and taking care of business for me.  So in an effort to grab a little bit of summer for myself I’d like to submit to you, dear reader, Summer Scraps: a collection of summery flickr photos to ease my indoor kid blues.

Hot nights, sunny afternoons, thunderstorms, mischief and bare flesh.  The best parts of summer.

Eat your hearts out,

Life is a-moving at super-speeds as of late.  Therefore, I’m gonna try to keep this brief since I should probably be doing something more “productive” than blogging.  I give you in no particular order, photographic evidence of events of late incluting but not limited to a giant head sculpture by David Platter, the Shangri-Lounge, and a recent pedicure.

That’s all for now, squirrels.  Thanks for stopping by, and remember to keep eating your heart out,
