- Tetris Art
Congrats for turning 25 and still being just as awesome! Thanks for inspiring artists to make sculptures that I want to take photos of. And thanks for the hours of addicting entertainment you have provided to me and many friends. Listen to the theme music for old time’s sake. Other Tetris theme songs.

Wandering Around the Waldorf Astoria

This is Art - Thao and Vanessa at the Waldorf Astoria
Last Tuesday, Thao invited me to attend the Project ALS gala held at the Waldorf Astoria. Since she works for Viacom, sometimes these random opportunities appear out of the blue. Ben Stiller was hosting and it sounded like a good time plus we both got to get dressed up!
Though the subject matter was quite sad, Ben Stiller and Sarah Silverman were hilarious, the food was good, and the wine flowed unceasingly. After the event, Thao and I wandered the halls of the Waldorf Astoria, literally, and took a bunch of photos. I hope you enjoy the photos of our drunken wanderings as much as we enjoyed taking them!
Wild About Montana’s Beauty

What a lucky gal am I? Justin flew all the way from New York City to Billings, Montana just to spend Saturday with me! He arrived at 10:30 pm on Friday night, and I dropped him at the airport at noon on Sunday. I could not have asked for a better time together, though I may have asked for it to be longer!
At first, Saturday morning was dreary and rainy. I was disappointed because I’d hoped Justin and I would make our way to Red Lodge and to the Beartooth Mountains. I knew there was hiking around and supposedly Red Lodge was a cute little town. Everyone told us to go there on our first trip to Montana in June, though the pass was still closed due to snow.
Despite the weather, we decided to head toward Red Lodge anyway. We had a delicious lunch at a pizzeria in Red Lodge. Slowly but surely, the day began to improve! We browsed in the local shops and Justin tried on, decided to buy, and then deciding not to buy a coat from an antique store. The store also had a really rad German hat from WWII but it was super tiny and wouldn’t fit my gigantic head, so I didn’t get it. We noticed intermittent patches of sunlight and decided to continue on our way to Beartooth Highway and the Beartooth Pass. I’d heard it was beautiful, but words could not express the truth of the beauty of this place. Check it out for yourself – captions and photo notes accompany the images: Photos of Snow, Hiking, Chipmunks and Kisses>>
After a lovely day of exploring a new town, a scenic drive and a bit of hiking, Justin and I relaxed in the hotel room, watched some TV, and noshed on hamburgers at Fuddruckers for dinner. We also played a hunting video game where we shot moose – that was a blast! Justin won (but I still killed more turkeys on the bonus round!). I love you, sweetheart. Thanks for coming out to Montana and showing me one heck of a good time. :)
Awesome Photos: N-E-S-S

Val!, Karen and Mike were all hanging out last night as Val! is visiting Texas. They went to dinner with Mom and Dad and then sat around reminiscing and just randomly chattering. I asked Mom to take some photos of them, at which point she said they had taken a group shot before they left. I told her to tell them to take some Lyrael.com style photos and to mention “letters” and “Tab” to them. Now, to those of you new readers of this site (new as in the 6 years, woe is me), you surely don’t know what I mean. Back in 2002, Karen, Val! and I became quite creative (and silly) when it came to taking and uploading photo sets. I hoped they’d want to do something goofy that hearkened back to those good times. Sure enough, they did! For your viewing pleasure, here are the two photos Val! has sent me so far:
Val!, Karen and Mike - Pink Pony Luv
Val!, Karen and Mike - oh the masquerade!
Love you guys!!! And I miss you! XO XO

PS: If anyone out there wants to take silly photos and email them to me, that’d be awesome too! :) Maybe we can get Peanut in on the action… She kinda looks like she is “E” shaped in the photos below. :)
Update: Another one! I love this one! The lighting is great! Look how long and pretty Karen’s hair is! I definitely dig everyone’s expressions on the “N” here.
Val!, Karen and Mike - Stinky feet!
