dr who

Halloween is coming closer and closer... and i can't help but remember this:




poor dog. what abuse he has had to sit and take all for my amusement. i vowed after the pumpkin fiasco i would never dress him again. however i still plan on dressing myself up for halloween. after much deliberation ive decided on dr who!



i have a friend who tracked down the scarf from a coworker. i have the jacket and jeans. all i need is a kickin hat. so if you or anyone you know has such a hat that i might be able to borrow for an evening, let me know. i plan on being the greatest dr who ever. all i need is a cardboard K-9 outfit to get ziggy to wear and i'd be set. somehow i dont see him going along with this.

on a more serious note, i want to thank you all for your kind words the last week. troy and i are lucky to have such amazing family and friends that are willing to stand by us no matter what. it's going to be a tough transition, but i know it will be for the greater good in the long run. troy and i have shared a phenomenal 3+ years together that i will always be grateful for. thank you for sharing that with us, and for your continued love and support.

octobre!




between lectures on infanticide and discussions on some of hemingways and faulkners more depressing works, school has left me in a state of eeyore-esque mind frame. npr has brought me out of my funk (where would i be without npr?!) by providing me with this:

that's what i call extraordinary.




also extraordinary: last week i attended the sigur ros performance at the schnitz. i snuck my camera in, but while trying to respect others i limited my flash use. i think i was able to manage a few decent shots just the same.


jonsi trades his bow for his vocal chords to make his guitar sing



leading a sing-a-long


they had beautiful film clips and pictures projecting off and on throughout the show which only added to the magical feel of their music







playing 'gobbledigook'

and now i must return to the land of education where i will learn how to doctor up my sad pieces of ceramic creations with color.
