Here is a picture of Donovan and me doing the most manly thing of all – laying on the couch watching t.v. This was taken 12/07/05. While it’s most likely that Carla took the picture, it’s all possible that she was in the kitchen making a pie.

Tune in next week for pictures of us crushing aluminum cans against our heads while rebuilding a carburator at a monster truck pull during Mardi Gras on SuperBowl Sunday.

…is the best word I can think of to describe Mike Grasso’s long hair in college, as seen in this picture he recently scanned and sent me.

Mike is getting married in only nine short days! On Sunday May 28th, in Portland, OR. His fiancee’s name is Anna, they have a website for their wedding here. Go vandalize the guestbook.

For any fans of Mike Patton: At long last, his “pop” album Peeping Tom is being released on May 30th.

I’ve listened to the album thanks to Kyle, who obtained a copy via unknown means that I’m sure are Perfectly Legal.  Overall I like it.  It is an album of actual songs with actual singing, as opposed to some of the experimental noise albums he puts out.  Most of the songs are quite catchy in a typically twisted way.  There is a distinct hip-hop vibe to much of the album.  There are a lot of guest collaborators including Norah Jones, Massive Attack, Rahzel and Dan the Automator.

Peeping Tom will be performing live on the Conan O’Brien show on Friday, May 26.

This was taken on Sunday, April 30th 2006 at the Cards/Nationals game, which Chris got us all tickets to. Alex was supposed to be there but part of a tree fell on his house. A kind frat boy took this picture.

St. Louis won 9-2, Suppan got the win, future Hall-of-Famer Encarnacion homered, Edmunds drove in three, Pujols was walked four times, and Bill ate nachos.

Before the game we all (including Alex) had lunch at Blueberry Hill, which has highly good burgers.

Here is a picture of Donovan and me on Carla’s Dad’s four wheeler, taken 3/11/06 at Carla’s parents’ house. Donovan calls this a dune buggy.

Tune in next week for pictures of us eating beef jerky, picking up heavy things and putting them down again. HUAH!

These were taken on Sunday morning, April 9, 2006. The bow is a gift from our friends Micah and Elizabeth.

After much deliberation, I’ve decided to make my first ever blog entry about McDonald’s crispy chicken tenders, because that’s what Donovan ate tonight.

He also ate fries.

However, I did also give him a serving of peas.  Honest!
