Christmas weekend [s]

I took a brief trip to NorCal. Ted's place is looking good, too bad he can't decide on a railing.



Jon's place has a nice-looking concrete pad and some derelict steel girders. We'll see what happens.



Kaf got a truckload of rawhides and pig ears, but didn't get the chew toy he most wanted. He slept the whole ten hour drive back.



Food was the focus. Deeeeelish. If the above image doesn't turn you into a vegetarian then you're not a pansy.

The annual football game didn't go so well for the noble d'Brickashaw d'Brawlers. It wasn't a shutout, but it wasn't pretty.



Everything's pretty quiet back down south. Jes painted a Serengetiscape that currently resides on the mantle.

December [s]

Last weekend was Connie's shower. Since two thirds of the organizers were dudes, it was reasonably palatable for Ryan and the numerous male invitees.



Decorations were in abundance and we played a lightning round of baby taboo.



We bought a lot of food, but the highlight was Jes's fondant ducks that nobody wanted to destroy by eating.



Presents, yeah.



I did a quick shoot beforehand to make a 12x18 that guests could sign.



This evening the roomies and I got a tree.



Dragon Age is still quite entertaining, it's a vast game.
