Q4 miscellany

first, i must say the problem with having an iphone is that you read emails, think you'll respond later since the keyboard is annoying to type on, forget to mark them as unread, and then completely forget to respond altogether. oops and sorry. i'll catch up and respond. someday.

onto a random photo journey of my past three months.

potato+bear always have weddings to attend. this quarter, they [brides+grooms at large, i'm not talking in third person anymore] liked the personalized m+m favors.

poor, deformed m+m. i gobbled it up anyway. or did the bear?

we love the photobooths.
the lovely bridesmaids' hair + makeup

i found this rather incongruous.
and hilarious.
eh, maybe it's just me.

oh yeah, school. lots of it.

this is baby.
he was the baby of our bay/section.
we're not sure if he can drink. legally.
or vote, for that matter.

i did a lot of this this semester, too.
just not in the middle of a deserted review.

or at such an impossible angle.

vagules also make great hats,
thinking caps, etc.

olfa utility knives (and xactos, we like both brands)
make great cheese/salami knives

learning to stop, step back, and enjoy the view even while mired in the journey.

glimpses.

[and let the vagule catch me?]

and to end with something warm and fuzzy.
