nice folks.

(pretend there's a picture of a huge lobster right here)
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!
black,
and grey,
for a few hours.
i'm tellin' you guys:
phuc and his wife sue are great.
and not just at running an incredible studio, either.
really,
they're just great.
i'm also pretty amped up on his new swash-drive shader.
because as much as i normally hate gettin' tattooed,
i barely even felt what was happening!
(that's what SHE said.)
i chugged down a giant burrito in one huge bite, anaconda-style,
right before i got there,
and pounded down 3 BOBA teas whilst gettin' zapped upon.
throw in a baby-sized road trip back and forth,
some Cure albums,
and the hip hippie burrito shop's obligatory
'loud-enough-to-make-sure-i-hear-it' tattoo talk,
and a pretty good day went down.
word.

i also got a good feeling for a little minute about all of this documenting of my real-life.
kevin and cat evidently read this thing.
and yesterday,
when i mentioned portland, tsunami tattoo, and comin' by to say 'ello.
they saw that sh!t.
and as they were in the area.
they came and hung out for a bit.
and it was terrific.
and the parts about weirdies, beardies, and my love of pipes?
well,
kevin has a preposterous dwarven barbarian beard.
(he's the provider of the gnarly beaver skull from last month)
and he carved up a preposterous dwarven bearded pipe.
and he brought it by for show-and-tell,
and then let me keep it!
c'mon...

that's mutha-flippin' fresh, ya'll....

that's some 'nother level viking sh!t, my ninjas.
generosity for no reason...
and comfortable social interaction with strangers.
a whole roomful of really nice people, and me.
i am confused by this, but i like it.
thanks for comin' by, guys!!
thanks for the fresh as f* pipe, too.
and thanks for the epic sumi beatdown, phuc!

tomorrow,
i get to drive around,
about halfway to connecticut,
to somewhere in massachussetts,
to pick up harvest and maple.
honestly,
it's just in time.
i'm past due for a booster shot of itty-bitty pretty little kiddies.
long drives, traffic jam jamborees, missed work, it's all well worth it.
because,
nothin's harder than not seein' them,
except maybe watching them leave again.
at any rate,
i'll be spendin' valentine's day with the top three sweet and lovelies in my life.
i'm grateful, mutha-uckas.
you know this;
never quiet, never soft...
