Is This Thing On?

Holy crap - the past few weeks have friggin' flown by.

The Boston trip was a friggin' BLAST and not only have I not given you the breakdown here, but pictures haven't even been posted yet.

I promise to make it up to you.

I've been so busy getting ready for both Thanksgiving with the in-laws coming into town and this (sorry, couldn't get a bigger version of the flyer):

Our first show!!
We're part of the "AND MORE" listed on the flyer....so I guess one of my life goals is only being half fulfilled.
Someday my name will be listed.
On facebook (and in the newspaper) it says, "The Stephensons" which makes me laugh.
We're still deciding on the number of pieces we're entering but we're doing those painted skulls...all superhero/villiany style.
Matt had a head start on them since it was an idea he'd already had when we first started painting those skulls. His have been done for a while.
Mine are still in progress and need to be done by tomorrow night for hanging on Wednesday.
As soon as they're done and on the day of the show, I'll post pictures here for your viewing enjoyment.

I'm a little nervous about this since its something I've always kinda dreamed of & am worried about how my stuff will look next to so much awesomeness....
But whatever...Eff that Ess.
Who ever is reading this and is in town, YOU SHOULD COME DOWN TO TASTE IN COLLEGE PARK ON FRIDAY NIGHT & help me drink away my nerves & come see some cool shit & meet some cool people.

It'll be fun!!

Sincerest Apologies & Other News

Holy crap....I really haven't been on here for a while, huh??

Thank you, Kayla for calling me out recently.

So, my apology is two fold....

1. For not posting here in a while because we've been super busy and I just haven't felt like sitting down and writing anything.

and

2. For not finishing out my feetzblog for Halloween. I did just post the remaining photos I had on the camera, so those are there for your viewing enjoyment. The other ideas I had, I might wait until next year to do.

I learned a few things during that project.

1. Make a list ahead of time of your ideas to carry out the month. I thought I could do this on a whim and, for the most part, that's how it worked out.....but towards the end of the month, I started to run out of ideas, ambition, and time.

2. People really do check this crap out.

3. Its a really fun challenge and, maybe, in the future, I'll have the balls to put the rest of me in these photos instead of just my feet. But hey....y'gotta start somewhere right??

4. My camera and I are closer now. Bonding with your camera and experimenting leads to really cool shots....and some mistakes. But that's all about learning as you go.

I also had 2 more movies slated to review, but after look at them and getting some shit from Matthew about how long & wordy they were, I decided to save you an eyeball workout.

Maybe, for the next Friday the 13th, I'll bring some ideas back instead of waiting until next Halloween.

Which brings us current, right?

HI!! Happy Friggin' Middle of November!!

Shit.

This part of the year shouldn't even have separate month names since now they're just referred to as The Holidays.

Sears started doing their Xmas layaway commercials on Reconsidering Columbus Day....even going so far as to mention "Santa" by name. bleh.

And now those stupid overstock.com commercials have started singing at us while we're watching The Walking Dead.

Seriously, between that show and Dexter this season, I've had tv orgasms going for the past two weeks or so.

Have recently started watching Psych too which has given me fits of laughter.

Netflix is a beautiful thing.

ALSO, picked up Sims 3 on xbox360 and have lived/died through Dusty Bibles as a trial to get familiar with silly controls and limitations that are a little different than the mac/pc version.

Now, I'm working on a SheHulk character who is actually green, favorite color is purple, she's a genius, brave, athletic, and hot headed. She's a badass.

Last weekend, we attended Chrystal & Chad's lovely wedding.

It looked a lot like this:

This weekend, we're shippin' up to Boston for Matthew's birthday weekend - going with friends and meeting up with some folks we know up there. Good times are abound. We head out tomorrow so I'll be sure to update you on Monday how the trip went & share some of the deets.
