We had a fucking awesome week in Shanghai with my brother Nathan and old friends of hers--and new friends of mine--Tinny and Jarek. We are slowly putting up pics on our Flickr accounts. Here are some of mine and some of hers. Click on them to be whisked away to that person's Flickr account. More pics are forthcoming.

If nobody's in your shop, why not nap with your dog? Makes sense to me.

Store owners get bored too

And yes, [livejournal.com profile] fairyarmadillo and I shot several So You Don't Have To videos, including one with my little brother Nathan.

Lurve,

I told Nadja that I was going to draw something that I sleepily described to her a few days ago. This thing involved a hippo, and I told her I might try to freehand it. She gave me one of those "O RLY?" looks and said we should both freehand one.

We did so--neither of us seeing what the other was drawing--and then compared notes.

I think that I should leave this without commentary, save for two from us:

"But whatever, yours does look like a pony." - [livejournal.com profile] fairyarmadillo about mine
"Yours has long legs with different lengths! It's the elusive mountain hippo!" - me about hers

Nadja Hippo vs benjamin Hippo

I am so crazy in love and we go to China in four days, one day after the play she's been working her ass off for, where she's handmade over a dozen alien costumes for junior high kids.

Yes, you'll get pics of both.

Don't say I never do nothing for you little monkeys.

Love,

b

THINGS HAPPENING IN APRIL:

"Depart: 10:40 am - Chicago, IL (ORD)
Arrive: 02:05 pm - Shanghai Pu Dong, China (PVG)"
Going, after wanting to for nearly my entire life, to China.

And I'm going with my [livejournal.com profile] fairyarmadillo.

Fuck yeah, life.

Love,

b
OCD be damned, I simply cannot--mentally--wade through nine days of entries.

I tried, people, and it's taking a tremendous amount of willpower to give this up.

If I missed something awesome, interesting, or otherwise, let me know.

Otherwise, I just need to stop.

Los Federales didn't even have to use their AK
Today was a good day.
I'd be updating more, but I seem to be enjoying the hell out of Oaxaca and then falling asleep.

Go figure.

Got photos and stories, but...

Well, I'm busy.

b
Hello from Mexico.

Putting on sunscreen and going out.

Might post photos of the place we're staying in...later.

Ahora, OAXACA AHOY!

Dear Interwebs,

I will be in Seattle from Wednesday morning until late Sunday night.

I will be able to talk to you, Interwebs, but likely only at night.

It doesn't mean I don't love you.

I just need some space.
