Good and evil. Just kidding, she’s sweet as vegan brownies.


I got an Aston Martin at the very end of the night at work. I spun it around the block a little. Pretty much mandatory.


I always fall asleep on the F bus, but I don’t think I’ve ever drooled like this guy.


Cameron and I made a movie for Naira last night.


Bowl of pogs. Still life doesn’t get any better than that.

Thanks for looking. Next time we’ll be seeing life in the West Carribean.

This is another installment of photos from the last month-and-a-half that should see the light of day.

flash mob pillow fight

What better way to say I love you than with a pillow to the face? On Valentine’s Day, I went with Liz and her friends from Boston, Greg and Arwen, to a random pillow fight organized through the internet and word of mouth. It was quite a spectacle. There were probably 250,000 people there. Or maybe 300. I’m bad at judging those kinds of things. When the clock at the ferry building struck six, everyone went at it. The little kids were the ones to look out for–totally vicious and too cute to hit back. Anyway, here’s what it looked like.


Bring da ruckus.


Kari getting angry.


It snowed feathers.


Virtual blizzard.


Liz was tenacious.


My pillow was a beautifully crotched piece purchased earlier that day at Goodwill for a wonderful cause. I left it.


Greg Beson was the Braveheart of pillow-fighting.


Good use for a dirty pillow.


For some reason, everyone just started laying down. I guess someone called bedtime.


love lightly.

Bearathlon IIII

Last Monday, Galen told me about a triathlon at Cal that was going to happen that Sunday. So why not? I’d never run more than a mile before and had never swum laps. But I can bike. It was a 500 yard swim, 14 mile bike ride and 3 mile run. And one of the best things I’ve ever done.


There were 150 folks competing, mostly from collegiate teams. We were pretty much the miscreants of the bunch.


I was too busy swimming/biking/riding to take photos during the race so this is afterwards. We took balloons as prizes.


Galen celebrated with some freezes. Note the numbers on his legs. He may not have “won” but he’s number one in my book.


I did the entire thing in those shorts and kept my iPod with a triathalist in my pocket. Songs included Belle & Sebastian’s “Stars of Track and Field,” Madien’s “Run to the Hills,” Motely Crue’s “Kickstart My Heart,” and I crossed the finish line to Springsteen’s “Born to Run.” So epic.


Galen didn’t win the raffle.


Hydration.


Champions.


When all was said and done, it was a lovely lovely day.
