art, babies, and tattoos

happy last sunday of june people

i hope this posting finds you well.

this past week flew by and kind of whupped my butt, though the weekend moved at a more leisurely pace. i think part of why the week went so fast is that i kept pretty busy. jes has bar classes, then studies all afternoon, then we come home and eat dinner, and then she studies for a few more hours at night and THEN we get to watch whatever is on the tivo.

so the challenge for me is to stay out of her way during the after dinner study session. this week i did laundry, did the grocery shopping, went and hung with my friend mel and played at the pool with my friend angie. it worked out great! but by the end of the week i was tuckered out yo!

on friday night we played with jes's new wii fit. this has been her latest obsession, and she finally got it on friday. yall, that is some fun shit. for reals. first we did the body test where the wii tests your general fitness mostly through balance exercises. in the first go round jes had a wii fit age of 26 (she's really 28) and i had a wii fit age of 46 (i am 34). this, of course, hurt my feelings. we did the tests over and over and i only got down to 43 (what the fuck?) and she got up into the 40's somewhere (ha ha). we did some yoga moves, some strength training (ugh the lunges) and then i did the hula hoop game too. jes tried a bunch of other stuff like skiing and hitting soccer balls with her head (and a few soccer cleats). sadly, we were both sore the next day. go figure.

saturday morning we got up, did some work and then went to brunch with sarah and kim at ria's. jes got the special which was a banana nut bread french toast with apple compote- it was divine. i got soysage, a biscuit, potatoes, and fruit. jes and i shared everything half and half. it was divine. after that we came home and jes did work and i took a nap. then more work and a few phone calls and off to the gym. it was cool b/c while we ran looking out over the roof of the building and this huge rain storm came through. then we came home, more work, shower and off to an art opening for this local artist, R. Land. This guys stuff is all around town, and I really love it, so it was cool to go and see a showing of his work. They also had free food and beer and rocket pops! Here are some images of his, so you get an idea of what i am talking about:






He had some huge pieces that I would have LOVED to buy, but they cost too much. Some day, when I win the lottery....

In other news, my friend Nancy aka Ali aka Hazelteen aka dj reckless got some more added to her tattoo. Next thing you know she will be totally sleeved. Here is a pic of the new addition:



i love a star tattoo, so i am excited for her.

and lastly, and CERTAINLY not leastly, here is the latest pic of my sweet baby nephew zach. look at those eyes, look at those cheeks:



if that doesn't start your sunday off right, i am not sure what can.

for all you gays out there, hope your pride was divine (ours here in atlanta isn't until next weekend). and happy 4th of july week coming up for the rest of youze. enjoy your day off if you get one.
