UPDATE:
Okay, so the photos are unavailable all day, which is dumb, so I will set them up at my other website when I get the chance. Until then, check the entire post out RIGHT HERE
Wedding and Glass
Please note if a picture isn’t showing up, it means the bandwidth for the photos has been eaten up at the moment. IE - come back later to see the pictures.
Last weekend I was a groomsmen in my cousin’s wedding. The only problem was the wedding was in the town of Norman. I felt like a dirty whore of babylon. It was wonderful (the wedding - not the dirty whore part), and the tux I wore was incredibly comfortable. When I put it on my uncle proclaimed “That is like putting a forty dollar saddle on a ten dollar horse.” The image is a little blurry - i checked the mirror just now to make sure I wasn’t naturally blurry.
Rebecca and Beth, two of my sisters, flew in for the wedding. Sunday before they left we went to the OKC Art Museum to see the Chilope(sp?) glass work, which is incredible. Which brings up a point: to be a famous artist you must have a name that is not simple, such as Smith, Bob, Charlie, or Buba… (or Jess?) The piece shown below is nine and a half feet tall and weighs 1500 lbs. The amazing thing is he blew all the glass with one breath.
If you liked the last one, try making a fifty five foot tower of blown glass. This pieces was beautiful with the sun pouring down on it. I had to lay on the floor beside it to get the whole thing in the photograph. “And there I, a dirty whore of babylon, lay on my back…”If one is going to be a whore, it is probably best to be extreme and take it all the way (not a sexual innuendo) and be a dirty whore. Who wants to be a clean whore? Wait…do they exist?
Rebecca and I started playing with our digital cameras and she took the photo at the top of this page. It is of me taking a picture of me. I’m standing behind a pane of glass taking a portrait of myself. Sounds vain. The picture I took of me is this one…
Busy, Busy, Busy
Last week and this week are incredibly crammed with action, roast beef, and adventure! Part of this includes getting to miss three days of classes (1 for a field trip and 2 for a confrence). So, I am leaving in about an hour for Arkansas. SWACURH - think of it as a leadership confrence - is being held there. This means I most likely won’t be online or xangaing until we arrive back Sunday night. Mourn our suffering as most of us at the confrence won’t be able to watch the bedlam game.
I was going to make this a funny post, but I didn’t really have the time. It was a nice change to write something that didn’t require nearly as much thought.
GO COWBOYS!.
Everyone have a wonderful weekend!
ps- TinGoddess, I threw very random bolding in for your entertainment.
