Here are all the photos I took in the first half of May that didn't make it into their very own entry.
Thursday, May 1st
On Thursday night, Meredith and I went out to Williamsburg for movie night at Siege and KT's. If you like zombie movies and/or surreal comedy, I highly recommend the movie Fido. tags:movie
Siege had recently bought a new projector and we got to enjoy the movie in near-cinematic-screen size! tags:movie

After lunch on Saturday, Meredith and I were walking home and we decided to pop into our local pet store and look at the animals. We were in the back looking at the lizards and we found a tank that had three lizards (all skinks) in it. Two of the skinks were big and colorful, the other skink was smaller and less colorful. Right as we were standing there watching them, one of the big skinks runs all the way across the cage and starts attacking the small skink!

At first we thought they were just play-fighting, but then the big skink starting swallowing his friend whole! It was totally shocking. So shocking that I didn't even think to take my camera out until we was half-finished eating him and then I snapped this picture tags:lizard
The thing wriggled like that for almost 2 minutes before finally running out of juice. A few minutes later, a pet-store employee walked by and we told what we'd witnessed and showed him the video and he was like "Oh, man. I gotta show this to my boss. I keep telling him this is why nobody but me should be allowed to do the lizards! You can't put a little guy like that in with the skinks! What was he thinking?" Anyway, it was pretty crazy. Put Discovery in HD to shame! tags:lizardvideo
Later, we enjoyed the windy afternoon admiring the view our affords of the East River. Here's Meredith showing off the two "dinosaur sew-on patches" she'd recently purchased. tags:meredithroofwindy
Later that night, we had a dinner with Quinn, Faran and Ellen. tags:ellen hartfaranquinn

Despite getting wasted the previous evening, Meredith rallied like a champ and got up bright and early to meet her parents... tags:meredithmr silverman
...and a bunch of her ITP friends for brunch. tags:hattimeredith
A little after midnight that evening, I went over to Leigh's for some pre-game cocktails. Sophia and Scott were there, you know, drying their hairdos. tags:scott msophia lamar
...you know, using the fan to practice whipping her hair around in the wind dramatically. tags:leighbestfanwindowwindy
Mike Doyle was in town visiting from San Francisco! We all went out to some party that was in the bar right next door to Leigh's apt! tags:leighmike doyle
After, we went back to Leigh's, played Rockband and made ugly faces. Hahaha. Here's Mike's. tags:mike doyleugly face
Late, late, late night, we went to Odessa and got grill cheeses (Mike put BACON on his!), french fries, pierogies and latkes! Delicious! tags:mike doyledinerhappyodessa

On Sunday afternoon I took an NJ Transit train out... tags:njtrain
Went to my Aunt Elaine and Uncle Wayne's house for my grandpa's 85th birthday. Here's my mom having some dinner. After we finished eating... tags:momfood

On Friday night I went up to the Upper West Side to go to a house party at Emily and Tim's apartment! Here's Emily all excited to show me their place! tags:emilyexcitedroxbury high school
Around 1am, the party started moving into "full effect." (As clearly evidenced by this picture of Rachael enjoying some smoked Italian meat and a glass of "white zinf" on the kitchen floor. Yes!) tags:rachael
Back in the living room, everyone's sore fingers made the executive decision that it was time for a game change! Wii Tennis! I'm pretty sure it was Emily who was manning my camera, because suddenly the photos go from action shots of us playing Wii Tennis... tags:timtennisvideogameswii
...to straight-up ASS shots of Tim playing Wii Tennis. tags:timman ass
"Honey! Are you taking pictures of my ass?" Tim asked with sweetly-shy smile on his face. tags:timshy
I stayed and played until the wee (Wii?) hours of the morning! Taxi ride home in the daylight at 5:20am!
Sunrise in the background!
We live near the power plant.

Here are more pictures I'm posting in my efforts to help people think rats are less terrible! Sure, they're vermin-y, but there also pretty adorable. Team drinking!
World's tiniest infestation!
This photo makes me equally parts happy and disgusted. Look how happy they are to be all smashed into that box together. Hahaha.
