8/18/09 - To The Batcave?

In this case, the Batmobile stopped at the "Extract" premiere in Austin this evening. Where it goes after that, is anyone's guess... don't even ASK about the driver... (for more pics from the premiere, see: myspace.com/breakwellpicturez)

8/17/09 - A Scene From "American Beauty"

While this bag is certainly not "the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," it did catch my attention. It was flying in circles for several minutes, and I just couldn't help but watch.

8/16/09 - Danny & Danny

Yours truly with one of the most prolific character actors of our time, the one and only Danny Trejo. This was taken at the "Shorts" premiere in Austin this afternoon. I don't know what surprised me more: the fact that Danny Trejo was in attendance, or the fact that despite his rough-looking demeanor, he's a very friendly guy.

8/15/09 - The Negative World

This is a shot of the so-called "Negative World" in Super Mario Bros. You access the Negative World from World 1-2. It isn't really a "world" per se, more of a design flaw. Other than taking a picture or uploading the video to YouTube, there really isn't much point to this measly feat other than just to say that you did it.

8/14/09 - FM 3406

I hadn't been to this convenience store in about 4 years. Nothing's changed, and the name still seems as hokey now as it did back then.

8/13/09 - Wedding Bells

My sister got married today to a really nice guy. I wish them all the best...

8/12/09 - Swimming on Slaughter Ln

I swam a few short laps today following my therapy this morning--and I even remembered to put sunblock on.

8/11/09 - Chips

This is the first bag of chips I've had in over 5 months... hey, I was hungry and stuck in rush hour traffic. You'd have done the same. And... from the archives...

Taken at an old school photo booth in a Putt-Putt on this date many moons ago (ala "The Karate Kid"), back before we had a clue what digital meant or how it would one day take over in so many aspects. Chris and I walked almost 5 miles (4.9 miles, ala Google Maps) that late afternoon to be with those girls that night (let's see if they can get guys to do that for them now!)... and yes, I'd do it over again. That's the kind of thing you do when you're that age--before life really teaches you things, before you get jaded... and when you don't have a car. Even then, I had a "thing" for documentation and wrote the date, time and had everyone in the picture sign my section of the strip. With no scissors, I folded and tore them apart and everyone got a section of the strip after it was FINALLY processed. Mine survived countless moves and life changes in an old book for all these years--Lord only knows how the others fared.

8/10/09 - Therapy

This is the vantage point I had from my roller bed at the Chiropractor's office today. One of the nurses drew a cartoon (quite well!) on the markerboard which depicts a wife massaging her husband's back with a rolling pin on the kitchen island. With cookie dough and batter set aside on the counter, the kids look on, while the wife nags her husband, "If you had made an appointment with your chiropractor... the cookies would be done by now."

8/9/09 - I'm Not Gay...

...but I love rainbows.
