two things about this picture: 1. yes, chainsaw is possessed. 2. yes, velcro took the picture because he said he'd rather not be held.

very merry christmas, to everyone!
chainsaw loves happy santa.

boo!

my truck at work. there have been many days of snow...

and then i took down the christmas tree. it was rather sad, throwing away something so green, lovely, and cheerful, but then mia and i spent way too long playing with the lights and taking pictures. brace yourself for goofiness!

what?! i wasn't doing anything, and you can't prove otherwise!
yum yum yum...
sizzle's face is hilarious in this.
that is an awesome hat!

the new ipod earbuds, they glow (and give you more cancer).
yay for manicures! (my hand)
mia's lovely nails.
mia says, "yum, lights are tasty and warm in my mouth!"

" oh yeah?!" says i "i'm going to eat all the lights!!!!"
...then throw them up *Blaaagghh!*
the lights will protect me. especially this blue one.

the next morning, it's chilly and overcast (the snow is coming but it's not here yet) and it's time to go back up the mound!
now woodrobin will get naked and get in the lake for change and good luck in his life. brave soul...
