external monologue

double shot

sorry about the missed picture yesterday. i haven't been getting into work very early lately and that means i don't usually have time to blog right off. which also means that if its a busy day, i may not get around to it all day, which is what happened yesterday. so, today it's a double shot - more photos from the martin's housewarming party. up top, the infamous and well documented, john totten, striking his familiar serious-face pose for the camera. from all the photos of him on here you might not think he's one of the funniest people you've ever met, but have no doubt - he is.


and up next, it's a shot of capria jahssen (sp?) who i don't think has turned up on the blog before which is a shame because she and her husband paul are about to move away to seattle, and then i probably won't have any pictures of them for a long time. but then, i'm sure we'll have a serious throw-down when they depart and there should be some good shots from that.

...

ugh, wednesday mornings are tough. we have a 7am prayer meeting at susan kent's house and i seem to be slowly turning up later and later each week. not that 7 is actually even that early, just a lot earlier than a usual day and i seem to be averaging about 5 hours of sleep a night these days.

which, actually, probably isn't going to change any time soon either - we (emily, mesh, brent?, kiko?, josiah?) are leaving friday morning for memphis to attend ryan dixon's wedding. it's been about 8 years since i've been to memphis and i'm looking forward to seeing it again, not to mention staying at isaac's house and visiting some of his high-school haunts.

and finally, because i forgot to post an mp3 last friday, here's a whole album on a wednesday. this is the new album by the secret machines. i was just telling b.horner the other day that i was having a hard time getting into these guys, that they sound too much like a flaming lips knock off. but, since b. typically has such flawless taste in music i'm going to give the album a listen today and perhaps reconsider.
