In like a lion...

Chris and Brooke spent a rad weekend with us...somehow I forgot my camera, but we did do a LOT.

Chris did my shins








-------------
Bird got done, and Barrett's arm (can't find a pic, will post later)

----------------
New doggie. Pickle. He bit a couple people and was on death row....not anymore.








----------------------------
Got a new place to live. Converted warehouse....construction and painting is totally open to us! Messy before pics...









and the scale model of the Hoover Dam..who else gets a bar this awesome?

------------------

don't forget

continuing to catch as catch can

Today is one of my scheduled days off, but I got called in to work a half day later on... Barrett just left to drive down south for a tattoo appt with this guy


and to see these guys


I was supposed to go down too..to hang out and get my other shin done, but plans got a little messed up. So, Chris and Brooke are comin up next weekend and we'll so it then!

Yesterday was Super Tuesday, which included California's primary vote. I voted. This is the most important vote this country has ever seen for so many reasons. If we continue down the path we're currently on, we'll no doubt see the implosion of this country..much to the delight of the hopeful-population-minimizing republicans I'm sure..
--------------------
We saw Saviours and High on Fire not too long ago at the Blank Club downtown. That place is tiny and the sound is not too great, but I loved seeing them again..







----------------------
I got a new piece of art from Adrian at Guru Tattoo in San Jose



blurry picture



so I have a touch up scheduled next tuesday, and we'll be adding in a glow coming off the lantern.

We got to doggie-sit for Kristi and Ray.
Barrett and Stella, the vicious pitbull

Me and Daisy, the equally vicious chow/shepherd

don't forget to shake it

first post 'o the year..a looong one!

OH my goodness its been over a month! You all know how the holidays go...crazy crazy. Between driving all over california and adopting a million animals out at work, I have been TIRED! So here's a sampling of the past month's activities..I promise to never get so far behind....(lets hope)

Barrett and I drove down to the San Diego area for Christmas to see the fams. We had to take seperate cars since our work schedules were different. Now, the drive down the 5 is treacherous enough, but monotony gets an entire new definition when meant to describe 8 hours on the 5 freeway on Christmas Eve.
the reason for the season, so eloquently mentioned on a gas station t-shirt

driving myself literally crazy

and then resembling one of the Children of the Corn


then....after the settling in..we finally got to the important stuff. COOKIES! Britt made yummy vegan friendly sugar cookies and frosting....

----------------

Moving on to New Years. Nichole had a rager at her humble abode in the Mission. From East Coast frat boys to Santa Rosa thugs...we had it all. I spotted an actual keg-stand or two. Mostly it was just crowded, though.









nothing a few drinks can't fix...or just blur

----------------
and tell me what the significance of a clown in an old-school football get-up is?
