fun activity

Here's a fun activity you may want to try. i color coded my 3rd grade class picture. green for my friends, red for my enemies and pink for the girls i thought were dynamite. click on the picture to look at it big.

items of note: David im-r looks like the devil in his little brown vest doesn't he? he had me in a headlock and told me he was going to cut my dick off and bury it in the gravel. just a horrible kid. i got along with him only one time when he asked me if i wanted to throw dirt clods (from the rototiller) at some kids sitting on the soccer field. i said "sure!"

i was obsessed with darcy ell-s. she had her birthday party at casa bonita. i hated the goody-goody-sunday-morning-shirt my mom made me wear so i cried in her mom's van on the way there. no big deal. darcy liked me but she liked phillip j-hnson a little more and my mom was not helping by putting me in obnoxiously colored rugby shirts.

charles s-ms taught me a funny little racist rhyme. i thought it was darling little limerick so i adopted it into my repetiour. my parents heard me recite my little gem and had a long talk with me about racism. the main bullet point being that if a black person heard me saying that word they would beat me up. charles also was fond of playing a confusing game with vague rules called "guns". as in ," hey, do you want to play guns." "uh... ok. what's 'guns'?"

i could go on and on

the big apple

i love living near the big apple. it never disappoints. emily and i had a pterrific ptime with these ptwo pterodactyls. they know how to show a good time.
this band in the subway was top notch. the drummer was a better drummer than me, the trumpeter played trumpet better than me and the guitar player played better than me. it looked like they were making a lot of money too.
as the subway approached a woman said, "the special train!" which was a restored 1930's subway train complete with woven seats, brass hardware and fixtures, bare light bulbs, ceiling fans, period maps and advertisements etc. somebody say, "hell yeah!" we had fun.
the natural history museum has many dinosaur bones. i love 'um. i love the prehistoric mammals even more. they have a elephant relative with two giant teeth like a shovel. can you imagine?
the girls like dinosaurs too- lucky us (matt and i).

this fellow was mummified meaning he had fossilized skin and soft tissue on his bones. wow.

love this turtle. he's real big.
one of my all time favorite murals is at the museum. it's all over the place, it's gorgeous and thrilling but this is the best photo i got of it. it was too hard to get a good shot! i'd like to see you do better! oh,every one's a critic.

my favorite part of the animal dioramas are the oil paintings behind the animals. they are just incredible in my opinion. let's see picasso paint that! oh i know what you're going to say, "actually picasso was as good a draftsman and figurative painter as anyone!" oh please, what art history teacher told you that? what textbook have you been reading? don't worry, i'm not going to call your teacher, i just want to know! can'tcha tell me?


emily's reminded of little regis. she really missed that little nightmare.
I was excited to go to the big apple to see the christmas window displays(one of my many dream jobs). they did not disappoint.

this one had three dynamite 1940's harley's. you know, like the one santa rides (according to the painting in the display.
i was fascinated by this cool plywood bicycle. maybe i could make one like that someday.
we were freezing. but we still had fun.

a post card (the back part)

i'm in the big apple. it's really fun. i'll post photos of the big apple's bikes, signs sights and so forth when i get home.
