halloween thugz

so i know i have been slacking off with the blog a bit lately. things got, um, busy (does working 12 hours yesterday count?). well, the shows were hung, the first thursday gallery openings are over and i sold some art today. which means that i am off the hook...for the time being and i can get back to the fun stuff.

halloween was pretty uneventful for us--it involved some candy and some laundry. par-tay. but i have an appropriate "zombie lily" picture which (belatedly) corresponds with the holiday.okay, okay two photos, this one is really just for the slight puffy tail action.

karl was feeling left out, so he got a black eye. it was my understanding that hitting a soccer ball with your head was a good thing, but that doesn't apply when there is a fist between the ball and your eye. the more you know* (envision the shimmering star from the old commercials, somehow an asterisk doesn't quite do the trick). here are karl's thug life shots:

the indoor soccer games have been pretty gnarly lately and his team isn't even particularly good. oh well, he got to miss another day of work yesterday (and first thursday at his gallery, lucky duck) because he couldn't open his eye until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. now that the sad part is over i can laugh...sucker. don't feel too sorry for him--he gets to laugh at me too. yesterday i had part of a chopstick poking out of my finger. don't ask me why i was whittling a chopstick with a razor, or why the bamboo was the dangerous part of the equation. i will just say that the art business is strange and that my reasoning at the time seemed logical.
well, i hope everyone had a good halloween. maybe somebody else did something dumb and a bit gory (if you did you should share). ah, good times.
