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

Chicago!

Took a little trip to Chicago for the weekend. Here's a photo of Monica and I after getting stuck in a huge thunderstorm and eating at a diner full of transvestites on friday night. p.s. you can't see my shirt but the transvestites told me it was very cute.
Saturday night, Brendan:
Two tired girls (Anne and I) :
Two pretending to be tired girls:
Monica and I thought we should take a quick detour and stop at the beach on the way home. The beach looked pretty from here:
The giant metal tubes were a little strange:
But of course that didn't stop me from going in the water:
...and then I started to get second thoughts about being in the water and being on that beach at all: (if you can't see clearly, you can click on the picture and it gets bigger. click again and it gets even bigger)
Maybe we realized we were at a nuclear plant when we were walking back to the car and saw this sign, or perhaps it was the security guard with a giant gun/rifle who came to see what we were doing. All in all a good trip, saw old friends, ate good food, had mostly good weather
..... at least I'm trying to forget about the dozens of traffic jams, closed highways, getting stranded in the pouring rain, wasting my money on cabs, bitchy girls, getting pulled over by the police... more good than bad though.

Flame Retard

Caitlin works in a glass factory. Lucky her, she gets to wear this flame-retardant mask when she works around hot things so her face doesn't burn off. Tonight seemed like a good night to bring it out.
