This picture is actually for another project. But seeing as how I slacked and took no other photo that day, it’ll have to suffice. I guess this is a good opportunity to confess that I have a real thing for fingerless gloves suddenly. I wonder if the fingerless glove industry exploded with the popularity of the iPhone. HMMMM?

I had never been to a Harlan show, not once, before Friday night. And then I went to the 3-D Christmas show. And I got it, I finally got it. I won’t evangelize, because you just kind of have to go see it for yourself. Next year. Here’s a taste: It was so loud and unruly that it killed my phone for two hours. True story. [Project 365]
Mom was so reluctant to see Amber and me leave that she insisted on a prolonged photoshoot outside as we were walking out the door. I hated to leave too; the family was going to be there for the rest of the week and I was going to schlep back to work after dropping Amber off in Murfreesboro. The drive back was easy enough, even if I did have to drive into the sunset the…
Tuesday brought much milling about and squirreling away. Pigeon Forge is lined with places you never want to go into but that you always end up buying shit at. Why? I don’t know. It’s some kind of universal law involving the eventual depletion of your checking account. Amber and I were sitting and waiting on the folks to meet us when my mom walked up to us. “Y’all!” mom started, then laughed. “I was going…
Pigeon Forge is so bizarre. There’s these big, big rolling hills in the distance, but to get there, you’ve got to crawl past mounds of kitsch draped in rope lights that make your eyes hurt. I don’t even know what the point of Pigeon Forge is. I just opened a new tab so I could read the wiki. Huh. FAMILY VACATION HUB Yes, okay. If you insist. Jeez, Pigeon Forge. Step the eff off, Pigeon…
I think I love this song — this video — a little too much. Charlotte Gainsbourg – Heaven Can Wait from Charlotte Gainsbourg on Vimeo. HT: Coco
This lovely setting is not, I repeat NOT inside our cabin in Gatlinburg. It is, however, in the lobby, where we had to go to get online (for a nominal fee) so Amber could file her students’ final essay questions since wireless was not working in our cabin. First-world problems, jeeeeez. [Project 365]
Amber flew into town (ANDBOYWEREHERARMSTIRED!) Saturday and we ran errands and had lunch (Abyssinia — her first encounter with Ethiopian food) and I left her at the house to grade papers and create a final while I scurried off to work. When I arrived home, she was feeling froggy so we hopped over to Leslie and Mark’s house for their holiday party. It’s always fun getting to parties late, because everyone’s usually schnockered and highly entertaining.…
… you know it’s Christmas in Memphis. [Project 365]
