a person in 5,311 photos me ...and ran into Xiomara! I'd gotten a patch of dyshidrotic eczema on hand that wasn't healing no matter what I tried. I finally resorted to wacky things I read on the internet. ...and we were transported to... After the show... So nice to see you, Charlene! ...and took us to a brewery for food and drinks at destination number 2! Amanda and I hopped in a cab afterwards and... Brought my new Cube camera along! Playing around with my new ring flash. Got a bunch of new camera gear on Saturday. DayQuil wearing off! Lap-chicken is very ready to be out of the car! Finally south enough for the weather to be warm and could open the sun roof! ...before he wants to play with your phone. Farewell back to LA! And decided it was time to hit... On Thursday morning I biked down to Little Italy to catch up with Justine at the Cafetal Social Club on Mott Street. We were sitting outside chatting at a table when one of the older Italian guys that hangs out there all day spotted a baby rat right near our table. He walked over our way, and then without any warning he beat the rat to death with the broom he was holding and then proudly smiled at us. Hahaha. Woke up like dis. Back at the apartment, I was excited to take my latest AuraCam photo and compare it to seven other previous photos I'd had take over the last 18 months. Said farewell to my mom around seven... Charging up on that crystal energy while waiting our turn. Day 14 of drinking a gallon of distilled water. We were one of the featured "Cool Companies of 2002." (I was 26 years old and already working at my 3rd start-up!) Happy September, 2015! Monday morning thinking in my green chair. Back when Sam was their only developer! After just two days, I could see and feel the difference from drinking so much extra water. ...hurting from too many drinks the previous evening. We watched Eric do his shaolin kung fu katas. His moves were legit and he drew a decent-sized crowd of elderly Chinese women who clapped and waved at him when he finished! It was awesome. Took videos of him running and doing flips across the field. Robot-brother of mine in an episode of Black Mirror. Thinking about stuff. We arrived. Finished my tarot book on the train home. Up at 6am to help Brett get Max to daycare. He likes to told me hand while I walk next to him in the stroller. Messy hair relations. Max was excited to see me and really into playing with my phone and taking pictures. When you pull that 13. Werkin. Found this old gem from 2002 and posted it to the gram. Taking a break before turning around. Got a haircut. And on the walk home... Every few months I'd set up a camera to check my posture and progress (A lot of times I'd think I was upright and then see the photos and it wouldn't even be close). Anyway, I've included a few for posterity. ;) I spend a lot of time on my own doing a lot of strange things. In August of 2015 of was a few months deep into a pretty serious inversions practice. I met Mikie in Japan back in 2005 and she took us to her friend's beach house in Fujisawa! . After a few laps past the counter, she was finally like "Wait a minute, don't I know you?" Waiting for my late-night room-service milkshake. Pretty solid, Thursday. Cool to wander around on the lot and see some of Jim Henson's creatures. Professional chin-rester Woke up at 8:50am on my 39th birthday and this tiny genius stretched and then collapsed over my arm. My parents came into to town to visit for my birthday. Ellen picked me up bright and early Thursday morning for a dog party hiking trip. FOUR DOG CAR PARTY. She arrived with Piper and The Dude and I rolled up with Maddy and Edie. Beach day! Schweaty me after two hours of extreme physical activity on the 5th floor of a NYC building with no AC in July. Tuesday night I caught up with Neil! (I hadn't seen him since he produced all the Fiasco songs back in 2005 !) ...then met up with this one... Dude, go to bed already. Got some goggles to swim laps down the street. (Verdict = I am not very good at swimming laps!) <3 Battjers! This lil hamwich. Me and Max. I accidentally left my brand new cell phone on the bus and my dad had to drive me to the NJ Transit Bus depot... Tuesday morning bruise-assment of of Monday evening's aikido elbow-injury. Ouch! Excellent beach day! Camera on the dash on the drive home! ...to get an "aura" picture taken with the AuraCam6000. Took care of all my plants! Happy birthday, Cynthia! ...to celebrate Cynthia's birthday! (Everyone joked how it would take over two years for this picture to surface. Yep!) Got an afternoon haircut. Yep, you're a weirdo, dude. I peaked in 2004, apparently. Got up early to have breakfast with Grant and wish him farewell before his trip to Vancouver for the summer. Max likes taking photos together! Pre-naptime stories. On Friday I did a reiki / massage trade with my friend Rachel and got one of the best massages I've ever had! Crystal ball selfie with dog. (Maddy is making a great expression in this pic!) I like handing my camera to other people to take a pic. Aikido and cross-fit starting to buff me up a bit. All smiles. 7:30am. Spent the early evening... Two-hour Sunday morning aikido class kicked my ass. Woke up like this. Had Jeet over in the evening for to celebrate her official birthday with a few bottles of Prosecco. Look at us, all grown up! Got home at 1am... Maddy was marking my new living room carpet with pee and so I ordered a blacklight flashlight and some yellow glasses in order to try my hand as a CSI PISS-INVESTIGATOR! ...to see a Mets game with Karen (who, if you don't know, is REALLY into sports). Nature boy! Tee-hee-hee. Post aikido-class elbow injury inspection. A rare picture of me not holding a camera! Went out to an Indian brunch with my aikido dojo after our early Sunday morning class. ...and Jane Anne and we went to Boka for a Korean feast!
