This is a picture of my microphone at band practice. I held up the phone while I was waiting for my part in the song to start. I'm sure Chris and Sean were wondering what the heck I was doing.

Had band practice for the first time in 2 months. On the way home, I stuck my hand out the window for a quick BB shot. I tried to get the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in it but I failed.

When I told Riley I might not have a picture for today as I'm gonna be out, this was his response.

Actually, not. But I wanted a placeholder just in case. I wasn't about to let 120 days lapse by missing today. I'm about to head to Tacoma for a gig, so even though I'll be shooting there before and after, I won't be able to upload until tomorrow, and I wanted this to be a true 121st day shot.

I will post a picture in the early a.m. of day 51. I shot a friend's family today and didn't do any P365 shots. I am heading to a gig, though, so I will technically have shots done on day 50, but I won't get back until day 51.

Make sense?

So, stay tuned...

And, I'm back. Here's your damn picture:

Not a super great picture, but the reason I'm late with my picture today. I would've posted a picture of my friend's shoot, but I don't have permission (1), and that would be too easy (2). Plus, there were way too many good ones to choose from. I'm excited about those!

Tonight's gig at the Skylark was decent. It was the first time the Lund Bros. have played out this year, and first time out since October of 09! That's a long drought for us. As usual, I hope more gigs are in the future, but it's kind of up to me to book them.

I did take some shots of the other band but this was the easiest one to put up at 12:57am. It's late, but cut a bro some slack, wouldja?

What a nice day today! I took Bella for a walk and had the camera in tow. I took some pictures of things around the neighborhood and didn't come up with anything fabulous, though I did like this fire hydrant. I had a horizontal shot I liked better, but I cut the bottom off. It was tough holding a pulling dog in one hand and a camera steady in the other.

It was such a nice day we took Bella out twice. Sold some Girl Scout cookies with Haley. Hit our local Blockbuster that is going out of business. I went to Lund Bros. practice and worked on our tunes.

Then Bella went and ruined it all tonight by eating her poop. Again.

We can't figure her out. She's pretty much a great dog 99.99% of the time, though she has gotten really annoying with wanting to go out every hour or so. She'll pee and then goof around and get some air. Tonight, I decided to let her out with her neck lamp. Usually when I do that, if I call her as soon as she's done with #2, she bolts home. I couldn't tell tonight and when she came back to the deck, she was licking her lips, a telltale sign.

I took a whiff. Yup. Poo breath.

Anyway, I'll spare you the rest. Happy MLK Day!

I made an effort to take a bunch of pictures today. Sadly, it doesn't seem to show. The weather outside sucked and the stuff inside the house is getting boring. So I took a picture of a wall.

When I moved into this house in '95, it was too big a house for just one guy. Plus, I didn't have any furniture. This basement I'm now in was just a finished basement. Partial carpet, horrible faux wood tile adhered to concrete, and tons and tons of spiders. I ended using the room for storage.

As the years passed, it occurred to me that this room needed to be used. I started clearing stuff out and moving stuff in. We got a couch, went through a few TVs and after some time, it turned into a fun little hang out.

I had a bare wall for many years and pretty much in the last few weeks, decided to hang a bunch of pictures and musical posters. It's kind of cool now, if I do say so myself. I'd invite you over, but for now, this picture will have to do.
