But it was when she did a hand stand that the knots came out of my back and into my stomach

And I quote, "I want you to jump over me, but heres the catch: if you hit me, I will punch you."

Buried deep in the Bangkok ghetto sat an international guest house on the waters edge. One by one, we took the challenge. You don't really realize how big grasshoppers are until its in your mouth.

Yes. That Dense.

India vs. California

India had over 8 times the land area of California.

A photographic survey looking back at the rehearsal process, preformance and backstage activity of a show I worked on in Seattle at Theater Schmeater.

Iron and wine

How to iron in a pinch.
1: sandwhich article between bed and t-shirt
2: boil a pot of water in kettle
3: try not to spill

A winning combination

They also have ski masks, for sale, depending on the situation

This calender catalogs the "back to backness" of events that have happened over the last month.

The following months are still loosely planned. The purple labeled "Pollock Pines" should read "Road trip"

Storage comparisons

This is not a catalog of domination, but of who cook and who eat out.

Boom Box Book

I carved out a book to fit speakers, and amplifier, mp3 player and optional radio transmitter out. The elements were arranged to allow the oscillating air from the bass ports to flow past the amplifier, keeping it cool. Enjoy!

All in the family

Overheard by two boys playing:


"When your parents die, I want to live with you forever. When your parents die, we can be brothers."

Expenses and Cutbacks

The last 6 months of expenses at my new place. Theres a lot of fat that can be cut off the bills using minor tweaks to the house and lifestyle that equally benefit the environment and the pocket book

The points plotted represent rooms that I've established some sort of dialogue back and forth with over the last month. Ads for rooms that I responded to which I received no response are not plotted.

Grade F

While at grocery store, I explore the differences between grade AA large egg and grade b medium eggs. The difference between the two? Watch to find out!

When developing a name for grapefruit, they must have sat down and said lets congigate two words, one which describes what it is obviously not and one which describes what it obviously is.

Scene Shop Once, Scene Shop a Million Times

Scene shops are wonderfully eclectic places where old scenery, parts and materials hang from every surface and stud, piled in corners and buckets, where more time is spent finding a tool than using it.

Tale of Two Shadows

An arial view of the intersection between two gridded areas of downtown Seattle reveals that shadows are influenced by their grid.

A Disconnect Between Two Outlets

I know The North Face is located on a dead end street, but this is rediculous




Ok, ok. I photoshopped it.

I'm in the rough stages of planning a trip with Micheal Coleman to Indonesia and/or Australia starting mid December and ending in late January. I'm trying to massage the date with Coleman since I feel that traveling during the holiday season is the worst, most expensive time. However, I do see this as an opportunity to travel that would work better than going in April as I originally had planned.


In selling about 10 things on craigslist over the weekend, I made enough money to cover the transportation cost to and from Seattle and buy a steak dinner for two.
