An Extra-Long Update



Some of the things I have been up to recently:

First, weddings. This is Hillary and Scott's, a picture of them cutting the cake, obviously:


A few of the beautiful bridesmaids:


I was Allison'd date. I'm even wearing a suit jacket:


Random night out in Ypsi:


Karla was in town and somehow she and I ended up at what is quite possibly the worst bar in Ann Arbor for the weekly beer pong tournament. Here is a picture of Karla in the high-class bathrooms:

Yes, organized beer pong tournaments actually exist:


Friends we met up with that night- Wes and John. And some random guy in orange and Brian Scheel-Ares or however you spell that:

Another wedding, this one was James'.... MJ, James, Tom, and Matt:


Noah and I:

The groomsmen serenading the bride:


Me, two beers, Blair:


Blair looks much more excited to be taking a picture with this random street character:



Allison and I took a quick camping trip up north. If you've been following my blog for awhile you migh recognize this as the same place I went last summer. So some of the pictures may look similar. Too bad.
Here is our tent. And Kelsey:


Allison lugging firewood around in a dress :


When the mosquitos came out, so did the pants and shoes:


We grilled lots of veggies that we bought on the side of the road on our way up. Here is a roasted Amish potato, with our fire in the background:


Allison eating the World's Smallest Potato:


Potatoes and corn got really old, really fast:


The Pomato Hash concoction:


Kelsey going for a dip on the beach at sunset:


And hunting for rocks:


Token sunset picture:


Pretty:


Breakfast. If only that little melon knew what was coming....


Allison demonstrating how to crack open a watermelon with no tools:

1.) Smash

2.) Rip apart with bare hands:


3.) Eat.

Kelsey and I on top of what is not a sand dune, but rather a "glacial bluff":



I think about 90% of the people who decide to go to the bottom don't know what they're getting into on the way back up:







You could see all the way to Wisconsin, if the earth didn't curve:




Allison and Kelsey hanging out at the top:



Bye bye lucky handicapped camping site:

MJ pics. Hey, I know that guy. Remind him of that ugly rotting monster on the Pituba beach that we gawked at and hoped didn't have a larger or more sea worthy cousin.

Wish I could say I miss Michigan, but well, I don't all that much. Am actually in Oklahoma for the weekend, trying to manage through an oppressive 110 degree heat. Will be heading back up to Boulder tomorrow, hoping to get a $8 an hour job. God I just love having a degree (only makes one feel guilty when you get $8 an hour jobs).

Having a sweet ass party in New Mexico labor day weekend, and another house warming home brew beer party after that. Wish you could come. No really.

How could you tell that that potato in the picture was Amish? Did it have a beard but no mustache?

well cause we stopped at an amish farm and there was a nice amish man inside the little vegetable hut. okay, maybe it was a mennonite potato. either way, it was good.

why would an Amish farm sell Mennonite potatoes? That just doesn't make sense.

That makes as little sense as if an Elvin Farm sold Dwarf/Hobbit potatoes... or if a Cowboy farm sold Indian/Bear potatoes... et cetera.

sheila said...

well i do believe the amish and mennonite are quite friendly folk and wouldn't mind sharing their roadside vegetble huts with each other. it's so not comparable to natural enemies like cowboys and indians

You speak the truth.

The natural enemy of the Amish is the Werewolf.

The natural enemy of the Mennonite is the Asian Sorority Girl.

P.S. I like the fact that even though I am shrouded in a veil of anonymity you still are quite quick to respond to my comments. Keep up the good work!
