Paint Fumes

I need to stop smoking again. For good. It’s such a trial. But a little levity about it helps.

 I almost choked on my coffee when I found this PSA by Nate Starkey.

Most of my inbox spam these days has been garden variety stuff from Nigerian princesses who need assistance with their enormous inheritances. So I was delighted to find this spam from Elvis today. My favorite bit: “If Yes give out come”. Good Heavens-What sort of phrase book are they using?

1977 is the year my family moved to the Denver area. Denver has changed a lot in thirty years. I’m pretty sure my dad had the exact same hairstyle and jacket Sam is sporting here.

Will it be more interesting than this YouTube Video leads me to believe? I certainly hope so.

Cinco de Mayo is being celebrated this weekend in Denver. CHAC gallery is one my favorite places to stop into when I’m on Santa Fe Drive. Here’s a video they put on YouTube in honor of the holiday.

keeps getting deleted from my photobucket account. Other life drawings, including males with full frontal nudity, remain. I have no idea what’s so offensive about it, though some of the proportions are a bit out of whack.
