today i saw this deer out the window while sitting at my computer.... 

i fail at updating. i'll get back on the ball eventually, i'll probably update more after i move to keep people caught up with life in D.C.

as of now, summer is amazingly fun and busy.

The previously posted conversation is funny if you..

1. Know Tyler (see picture)

2. Saw the guitar stand monster (see picture)

3. Read the article about the exploding toads. (click link)

I made this easy for you.

quick re-creation of the guitar stand monster. Just pretend that top part of the stand is poked through the piece of paper with the face drawn on it. And don't ask me why i made this. because i just do crap like that. that's why. 

Two things about Tyler: 1) Tyler is very skinny. Look... a burrito from Flaming Amy's is as big as his neck. 2) Tyler can make is chin disappear. This is not actually relevant to understanding the conversation below, but I really try not to miss a chance to point out that Tyler has no chin. 

Christie: i think i slipped into a black hole
Christie: : is that possible?
Meredith: no, cause i think you get squished in one of those. or turn out like those german frogs.
Christie: : haha, i forgot about that
Christie: : that was a funny thing
Meredith:: esp because Dan hadnt finished his sandwich.
Christie: : gah, he was soooooooooo skinny
Christie: : like a different person
Christie: : he's like a twig
Meredith:: he's approaching Tyler-land.
Christie: : haha, population: 1
Meredith:: two. kate moss.
Meredith:: and that one olsen twin.
Christie: : you beat me to it
Meredith:: yesssss
Christie: : actually w/o the chin tyler might also be befriended by a stick-insect, in his tyler-land... Like the one from a bugs life
Meredith:: or my guitar-stand monster.
Christie: : haha, ok fine, tyler has left kate moss and the olsen twin to live w/ a stick insect and a guitar stand, in almost-inanimate-object-land
Meredith:: i think tyler is better suited to live with a bug and a guitar stand more so than a supermodel and a billionaire child actress.
Christie: : yeah, what were we thinking. dan so deserves that spot more
Meredith:: haha.
Meredith:: this conversation is so getting posted somewhere.

today i....

burnt the crap out of my hand doing some raku firing.

got to see the lovely Jennifer Carter who happened to see me spraypainting stuff outside studio.
