Schlemiel; Schlimazel.

A few years ago,

my friend Andy started a band called

The Vanilla Beans.

Now they are super famous and travel all over the world

putting on shows.

('World' being the city of Belleville, of course.)

Here is their first official music video.

In honor of such a joyous occasion,

I've decided to accompany the video with

an ancient picture of us.

WOOF.

Sexy beasts.

And now for something completely different.

My little sister is going away to college

in less than a month.

Eeeeeep.

Who will I eat ice cream with at random hours of the day?

How will I survive trips to Goodwill alone?

Most of the shoes I wear belong to her!

I am destined to travel the world barefoot for the rest of my days!

In attempts to distract myself from my pending sister-void,
I scoured the internet for a potential going-away gift.
The result of my digital quest?

A tee-shirt from snorgtees.com.

The music major in me is lusting after it.

Classical composer + deadly robot?

I'LL BE BACH.

To wrap things up, here's a few drawings from 
my dearest dad's old EMT text book.

Easy does it.

May the force be with you.

Evil EMTs.

Later.
