I think this was the first JMU reunion; boy was it hot (or I was more out-of-shape than usual, or both). That’s about all I remember.

Oh yais.
A great face. Another couple great faces. Look at these cats. Oh look, vibe leaks. Birthday cards from Krista's students. Birthday cake. Took a few tries, but he finally got it. Face 1. Face 2. Luv Blake Group fote. Refreshing. Tasty burgers were had by all. Connor McNabb, I mean look at those glasses. A good sit. Baby!

So after I nearly died a few times, I finally pulled off the road and into a hotel when my drivers-side wiper iced up. Driving with your head out the window like a labrador is HILARIOUS.
I don't know if you can tell this on facebook, but that's interstate 64. There's some road signs that are sticking up out of the snow and that's about it. Last night I brought my film scanner in. Can't let those optics decollimate because of the cold. Also bought some wiper fluid because I got a low level alarm yesterday. (Yes, I specifically took this picture so I could use "decollimate" in the discription. You know, because that's how I roll.) So I celebrated last night by cracking open a limited-edition Christmas label San Pellegrino (snowflake theme, how appropriate) and some hilarious California box pinot grigio. It was like slightly sour grape juice. GAR SON GIMMEH SOM WHAT WAHN. AIN'T CHU EVER HEARD OF WHAT WAHN, SON? I THAOUGHT THAT'S ALL THAY DRANK IN PAY REE. „Äch, quatsch!“ sagt die Kübelwagen. „Gibt es so viel schnee! Noch kann ich nicht mit meinen permanenter Allradantrieb dieses großtes Problem überwinden!“ West-Virginien ist für toten, denkt Ben.

The Sony Ericsson W580i, like Ben Bernanke, is a Bronze God.
Hanoi: Instead of heading into the bank to change dollars into the Vietnamese currency, a travel agent searches for another businessman to act as his counterparty. An insufficient supply of the dong is causing ripples through businesses and the Vietnamese banking system and fledgling stock markets after measures to dry up liquidity to fight double-digit inflation. The tightening means that banks are trying to preserve their dong holdings, forcing many businesses to operate outside of the banking system when they want to change dollars for dong. Bologna, Italy. EU Council Simuation. I was Hans-Werner Steinmeier, German Foreign Minister. Meine Dammen un Herren! Ponte Turisitico in spring. I think the tower looks like it has a face. FS Arezzo. The computerized train lady voice here is a little different from FS SMN, but still says awesome things in English. Easter morning in Florence. Apparently this is a "historical evocation." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence#Historical_evocations Yes, I uploaded my photo to wikipedia. PS That article on Florence is terribly written. Somebody fix it now. Zeus chills out at the villa. Fireman bus! Free tibet protest. Election day. This is the high school out on Via S. Donato (Saint Doughnut Street). Precinct numbers have been affixed to the fence. When there are elections in Italy, the government puts up official pasteboards for the parties to post broadsides. I like that there's one Communist one in the sea of Berlusconi. I think this is a Dyevre class. This is how you get to the Special Office at Santa Maria Novella. Wearing Dr Garner's reading glasses while I was in dumbtown last spring. They actually made things a bit clearer. This was when I first realized I probably needed bifocals. KLM 747-7. Note the big cargo door. My ride back to Europe. Chanson de Roland -- er, Orlando. Note: lots of Helvetica. In one move, Alex conquered the entire planet and ended this fabulous late-night game of Risk. Before Alex (black) started his move, Pink had north and south america, somebody had Europe and Africa and then somebody else had Asia-Pacific (probably Alex). Piazza degli Ognissanti on a Sunday morning. Storic Florentine Calcium festivities. That one guy in red has a rad hat. Police cars all around. Looking at ties. Why not? I think this may have been after a nice lunch at Anita. Up at the EUI. What a villa. Freaking Dyevre had his office in here. I so want to get my postdoc there. My favorite shop window on Borg Saint Fred. How to apply a jack on an Audi A6. There are no red lights for thru traffic at this intersection, just green and yellow. Taken in Richmond, I think. This foursquare is a couple blocks up Newport from me. It's the most awesome one in the neighborhood. The tags were on the seats at the new Indianapolis airport still. I took some photos just in case I ever need a row of black leather seats. Number 27 ice brush, Indianapolis International Airport. Obama rally. He was over there somewhere. There's a couple VW Sciroccos I see parked around campus. I like them, so I decided to get up close to take a picture of one. I notice that this one has a Virginia Education plate, with vanity numbers for "illiterate" in leet-speak. I must meet this fine, upstanding, very quality individual. So apparently I'm married? Figures I'd receive my first notification of the fact in the mail.

(Roll 24 Fujifilm ISO 400)
Oh yais. Chin-chin, babies. Best-possible reaction shot EVER. Listening to dad, probably. He really clicked with Caterina, which is... odd. Christopher made the obivious choice to set the focus on Alex and his mom, who are much more photogenic. Oh group photos. Well, at lest Alex knows which camera to look at. This one I've tagged with my tagging shorthand. I don't type your name, I type this, see, and then facebook knows magically who I mean. I believe this one was Christened as the official "F— You Steven Breezeel" picture. Cone, party of six.

Sitting on the table? Maybe. PS Epic Europe poster on the wall (but not as epic as the epic Europe "The Final Countdown" poster: http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/65/515765.jpg) Good hand-gestures. See, it shows that we lived in Italy for a year. Eating. I think the Thursday before the last time I graduated I had multiple dinners too. I'll have to check the captions on the Last Ones. Fork! Were these the photos of camping in Sicily? Or was that another night? I don't remember. This is a good one, I think. Serious faces. Ah, Dahmien! "Do I look concerned? I'm wearing white sunglasses!" Likely accompanied by the Matteo giggle. The level of salt just went through the roof. Hair in face. That OM-G doesn't know what do to with itself with backlit subjects. It's not Matteo's fault this is blurry, because it's in focus. The shutter was just open too long / not enough / brain melt. McNulty: That's Protestant whisky! The next photos are an excellent sequence of faces. 1. Matteo and Wayne looking at Aimee 2. First reaction shot. 3. Switch to Patrick and Chrees looking at Mr & Mrs Burd 4. Reaction to far side of table (something Mr Burd said, probably). 5. Patrick in the process of delivering the old daggerrrrr. 6. Dagger delivered, like FedEx or even Karl Malone. Aimee adopts the ancient Greek philosopher pose.

Why? Oh, I have my reasons. Apprently, though, the combined trips compeltely demolished any photographic skill I might have otherwise had. Bad composition, ahoy! (This is roll 21 of the post-last-ones numbering).
Hey, that one party at that one house with that one theme. This picture, of course, is no where near as epic as the one of me with Miss Pippins, though. Oh surprise surprise surprise, guess where I ended up. New cash register vibe. Oh but new coffee man? I don't know if I can handle that. Hey, kids, get off my lawn. Oh poopkins. Yeah, there's about ten of these photos and this is the only one where the light meter read closely enough to salvage something. Note: argyle socks. I give her love letters, she gives me the finger. That's about right.
