Lori has been planning trips for this summer, and drooling over the idea of staying in hotels.  So I’ve been bombarded with hotel stuff for a while now, and it’s got me thinking about the dirtiest, nastiest, cheapest places we’ve stayed in throughout the years.  O how I wish all hotels were as cheap as those roach motels. Paying a mortgage and a hotel bill and all those dinner bills and gas bills and duck bills drives me crazy.

NOM NOM NOM NOM PI!!

It’s been a while since I did these, they’ve been haning in my bathroom for a minute now.  So if you ever come over you can look at me while you poop.

This one is from PCB while I was collecting seashells.  Check out my rad tattoos that look kinda like leeches.

This one is an epic of me standing on a rock to make me look taller while I look off the side of a cliff in Mexico.

They are painted pictures.  There’s more in ART.

Last week we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary at Universal Orlando, because they have Harry Potter and Haunted Houses!

This guy wasn’t the main scary person there, but he was there, just not being scary.  He just sat in a booth or was having his picture taken with people (for $$).  But he is THE SCARIEST THING THERE!  Which might not work for you, but clowns creep me out, and scary clowns are typically SUPER SCARY.  (O, and that’s not a real person it’s a statue or wax figure or something.  I didn’t see people turning their backs to it though . . .)

Check out my family blog for a giagantic description of what went down with our trip, it’s kinda epic, and has a bunch of pictures/videos.

It’s finally done, finished it this morning.  The paint isn’t perfect.  I missed some spots on the bottom with my splotch technique but I’ll be ok with that . . . eventually, sniff sniff.

It still needs a name, which seems to be the hardest part.  I’ve got nothing.

Put two layers of paper mache on it last night, and one tonight, seems like enough to hold it together seeing as it’s made of stiff cardboard already.

This pic is from the first coat.  I used a mix of 1 part water to 1 part flour (wheat is all we had left) with some elmers glue added in.  It was rather clumpy.  The second coat I boiled 5 parts water to 1 part flour, with some elmers glue threw in afterwards.  It went on a lot smoother this time and with no lumps.  The details have been lost and it doesn’t look scary at all anymore, but that should come back with the paint.

This is my latest project, which doesn’t have a name yet but needs one desperately.  When I put it on Ringo runs away like Scooby Doo, his legs are spinning but he isn’t moving.  It’s awesome.  The next step is to paper mache it, then paint.  I’m thinking silver like a helmet with a gold mustache.
