Hiking Photos!
Strange to think it's already been nearly three weeks since Preston, Michael (with Seppo) and I went on a wee hike that turned into an all day hike. The Blue Ridge Parkway was closed so we hiked out from the junction with Hwy. 215. We didn't plan on going too terribly far ... but we did. Past the Devil's Courthouse, out to the junction with the road to the Black Balsam Wilderness, then on to Sam's Knob, down to Flat Laurel Creek and back out to the Parkway and on back to the car. We started out about 10:30 in the morning and got back to the car at 7:00 just as it was getting dark. It was pretty awesome to see dusk descend while walking down the middle of the Parkway. Seppo gets big points for hanging with all all day. Jump inside for some more pictures.
Alive and Lazy
Oh yeah ... I have hardly posted anything this week. SHOCKER!
There are a few things I want to post (like the NYC stuff) and I will get to that this coming weekend.
Right now "Metalocalypse: Season Two" is occupying my time.
Yes. I will do anything for Dethklok!
In A Mood
Yeah.
Still in a mood here. I thought I was working past it but that's a misconception.
Honestly ...
What's the point?
Feeling kinda useless and uninteresting here.
Monday Night Update:
And ... I am now over it.
“Floyd Collins” Is Dead
The last performance of "Floyd Collins" was this afternoon. If you missed it ... shame on you! The show was excellent!!! The cast rocked!!! I can honestly say that I am gonna miss this one. Big thanks to cast for a wonderful experience and an incredible show!

Yet Another Lust Object
Oh man ... I have it totally bad for Pickles, the Drummer of Dethklok. December 2nd can't get here soon enough as there will be more Pickles eye candy with the dvd release of the second season of "Metalocalypse." BRUTAL!!!
