My youth, topographically speaking

So Randal has a post up about memory-mapping, which is a concept I just love because I am constantly trying to grab onto ways to bank my memories before my brain kicks them out or muddies them too much, so and I have jumped on board with all my baggage and made my own memory map. It’s just such a lovely little concept, I think, to find yourself combing over topography and allowing specific memories…

Day 117: Ladies Who Lunch With Luke

I was able to get away from work (on my off day!) for long enough to have lunch with Ashley and Luke, and crack up repeatedly as he spit out every other bite of his food into Ashley’s skilled, lightning-quick hands. Look at that boy. He knows he’s got everybody on a short leash. [Project 365]

Day 115: At The Chapel

I’m so busy sorting through hundreds of photos of Lesley and Chris’ wedding at Graceland — which was so sweet — that this picture of the chapel stained glass will just have to do for now. Cheers to them! I hope they have a long and happy life together. [Project 365]

Day 112: Minglewood

Usually Minglewood sports these neat purply black lights that kind of hurt my eyes as I pass, but tonight they were rockin’ the clown lights. I dig, a lot. Still never been there for a show. I thought for a long hard minute last night about buying tickets to the MGMT show in June, but then just as soon as I could think about that, I decided on a lark to go to Bonnaroo with…

Day 111: The Zombots Are Coming

Look what the massively talented Shane McDermott (who looks a little like Edward Norton and Chris Hardwick’s lovechild) did! He zombified Newsbot, just in time for Friday’s undead uprising! So freaking awesome. Soon enough, a template for this sweet sweet zombie Newsbot papercraft will be available on The CA‘s website (I’ll link it when it’s ready). And word on the street is that The CA will be giving away a fully assembled Zombot, who’ll come…

Day 107: An Important Potato Call

I had the hardest time picking a photo for Day 107. And even though there was hot man-on-man wrestling everywhere we went, as well as some excellent Beyoncé impersonations, Mark talking to a potato wins out. [Project 365]

IT’S ON: Memphis blogger bowling bash-o-rama

It’s time for a blogger/internerd enthusiast get-together. Right now the plan is vittles at Hephzibah, drinks somewhere(?), and bowling at Imperial Lanes, our fair city’s 24-hour bowling emporium (which is so gol-danged photogenic, I just about can’t stand it). All this is slated to go down the second weekend of May, which I assume to mean a Saturday night, but it could last for days and days and days because that’s how we roll in…

Day 100: Flight of the Conchords

I’ll cop to it — I didn’t get any decent pictures of the Conchords OR Kristen Schaal, who opened for them (squee!), not only because I was too chickenshit to challenge Grandpa McUsher, who was roaming the rows and threatening to cut people with cameras, but mostly because I can’t take pictures in the dark. I just can’t. Plus I was excited. Whatever — I don’t live my WHOLE life through a screen! Anyway. The…
