Wet t-shirt contest!
More of us at the water park. Blake holding Kendon (who LOVED the water!) and then the three girls. Jenn's in the pink tank, Yaunna in the bathing suit, and me in the yellow shorts. Oh yeah, and a white shirt. Oops. I didn't know it was like this kind of water park. I thought it would lightly mist! Not clobber you!
Water Park
We went to the water park today. It's really neat...just a bunch of fountain that use recycled, chlorinated water and spray all the little kids on hot days. I have no idea how hot it was here today...I think someone said 30. Which, apparantly the conversion is the temperature celsius, x9, /5, +32. Or double plus 32. Roughly.

My favorite artists
www.joesorren.com
www.markryden.com

Joe Sorren painted this picture, entitled "In Her Silent Way". Love him. He has amazing colour usage and an incredible imagination...I envy his style.
Mark Ryden is a little twisted and fabulous.
The gallery is my ex-boyfriend's parents gallery. Though I don't really want to give them any business, they still have some great art.
My baby!!
Truman is on the left...his buddy Lucky is on the right. They're really good friends...they wrestle all the time. But last week, Kev was at his friend Nagy's house to spend the night and hang out and do boy stuff, whatever, and Tru and Lucky were playing hard the first day. Then the next day, Truman's hips were hurting him (he has severa hip displaysia, for those of you who are new here) and wasn't in the mood to play. Lucky kept humping him and trying to get him to wrestle and Truman gave him a warning snip and Lucky went for him. So, my boy, the killer that he is, retaliated and put Lucky in the hospital. I guess that they went after each other at the same time, moths open, and Truman's tooth caught Lucky's gum and tore it open. Lucky had to have his tooth removed in that spot later that day. !!! They're still buddies, though, and thank god Nagy is still our buddy too. You come to kind of expect these things when you own pit bulls. But! Everyone has to know what sweet dogs they are. Lucky has a past of attacking other dogs and Truman, well, he'll fight back if someone gets him first, but in general he's not the fight starter. He just likes to cuddle and sleep on your head.

Great magazine my friend Leah introduced me to. This month is the photo issue, so check it out. But a warning! It is strictly NC-17 for the most part, and if you're queasy or easily disturbed, I suggest you not look at it. There are some sexually explicit photos and well as some rather gruesome violent photos. They're beautifully evocative, but if you're not ready for a shock, don't even try it. Instead, go to their previous issues and read some of the articles. Again, if you're easily offended, f*** off and don't check out this page. You won't like it, ya hoser.

This is a photo of paint being splashed up into the air. I found it off of this website that Gary told me about, Industrial Brand.com, which is full of bizarre things and links to cool things. Check out their blog for more of this kind of stuff. www.industrialbrand.com
This link www.oiofilm.com/main_eng.html is for the splattered paint photographs. When you get to that page, click on 'photo gallery' in the column on the left. Interesting stuff.
