P.S.

I'm going to start losing motivation to post unless I know some people are reading this, so you all better leave some comments.

Stuff

You can blame this boring post on my brother, who asked for pictures of "anything, where you sleep, the street, anything!" So, that's what this is.

The garage:
The street:

Where I sleep, and where the mosquitoes come to feast:
The kitchen:

What I see before I go to sleep, and when I wake up: (be careful what you wish for, davey)

Things that have electrocuted me so far:
the lamp
the shower head

Ju, after a few too many beers:
The bathroom:

The view from the veranda, and the scary clay frogs on what looks like a gravestone:

The pool:

First days in Brasil

Julian, making a beet-y mess:


The view from Gustavo's office (it was windy and rainy the first three days):


My neighborhood:

(just kidding, i don't have any pics of it yet)

Contrasting parts of town:



mmmm, potty yogurt:


the ants on the veranda, they had 1/4 of a cookie gone in less than 5 minutes:

Last Days in Michigan

Yet again I messed up the formatting, so here are the descriptions of the pictures:

Allison and Kelsey

Caitlin and I

The cake Sean made for me and Allison

Typical family room scene, us and the Fritschs

My brothers

Sean and Kelsey's tongue

hi everyone, i'm in brazil.

it's been cloudy and rainy (but hot!) so i haven't really taken any pictures yet.
i will soon.

Trees

Maybe it's just me, but the leaves were really nice this year. I didn't get pictures of some of the best trees, and today the rest of the leaves were blown off, so I'm just posting what I've got. This is the view out my bedroom window (I was bored, we had no electricity today because of the wind) :


On my street:




A random street:


Out my window again:

Halloween 2

As someone (crazy Uncle Rico most likely) stole my fruit hat, I had to resort to the gladiator costume for Halloween night. Here is Monica and I looking like 10 year olds:


Pancheros, and Monica looking suprised:

Time in between the two pictures was spent at Bab's.

Fall/Halloween '05

The leaves starting to turn:



This has nothing to do with fall, but this is the sweet lamp from the 50s I bought at a rummage sale:


I spent this past weekend visitng Amy in Washington DC. After some typical Sheila-type problems with the reservations, I got on a plane Saturday. That night we went out in Georgetown to a few bars, a club, then a fun house party.

Preparing Amy's hair (she looks like she has a beard, ha ha):



Frida, Flapper, Carmen:






Amy, with her beauteous unibrow, that I must take artistic credit for:



The Burger King and George Bush Senior:



Pre-drinking:



Lion man and robot man that we met on the street in Georgetown:



The fact that this guy had a tatoo of Carmen Miranda should have been a red flag... hindsight is 20/20 i guess.




Ghostbuster man, how did you turn out to be so creepy?



Frida was bisexual:



Pretty lame costumes, but they were still fun guys:



Why did Uncle Rico show up again? Because he was weird, and I am convinced he spitefully stole my fruit hat. Don't let the picture fool you, that's a "get this guy off me" smile:

Again...

Somehow these pictures ended up in reverse chronological order. Well, actually no order at all. Oh well.

I went to Chicago (again), this time with Amanda so that the female roommates from our Grand River house could all get together. We took the train part of the way. A warning- trains and hangovers don't go together very well. Also, it's very easy to miss the train and get stuck waiting for two hours for the next one to come.

Anyway, we went to a some dive bar where there was a big mushy loogie-ish thing on my beer bottle. It wasn't pineapple. I drank it anyway:



Brendan stuck to ketchup:
Amanda and Anne drinking matinis, oh so classy:
Me, Amanda:
My body looks weird and bendy in this picture, but other than that we look pretty hot. I think :

Wow

Satellite image of Katrina from the NOAA: (click to make it bigger)

dog show!

I realized I didn't have one picture of Kelsey on here, so we had a little photo shoot, only she wouldn't wake up for most of it. So, we took a nap
