Things I Like.

Ethan and I rode twenty miles on our bikes on Saturday. He, Jacquelyn, and I rode to Monty's for breakfast. While Jacqui and brdgt went to yoga, Ethan and I rode to Tenney Park and sat on the pier, getting splashed as the waves crashed on the rocks. We played perspective games, forcing the water to stand still and thus making it feel like we were on a moving boat. We pretended we were shipwrecked pirates floating in the ocean. We got sunburned. We saw a rat. We shared Gatorade and a croissant.

Jacquelyn and I have been watching the first season of Little Britain. Holy shit. It's all written by two guys who also play almost every character. These guys totally stole my act. Watch this and ye will know too much.

Last, but not least, photos. Jacquelyn is getting a major award at ESA this summer and needed some pictures for giant posters and whatnot. Under the cut are some pictures I took while hanging around the lab. Jacquelyn sent in the un-Jack-ified versions of the portraits.

Little Britain is my favorite new show. I'm surprised I'm not watching it now.

Thank you! I always wanted to get into photography but my family wouldn't support it when I was younger and I never had a decent camera until now :)

LOL @ Little Britain. We'll make an Anglophile of you yet :)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

MY God, I'm already an Anglophile. I can't wait to visit. I ignore other parts of my heritage (bits of German and Polish) and concentrate exclusively on my British and Scottish heritage.

I have a Welsh friend and ex-housemate whose name is David Thomas, and whom we torment for being gay (not that he is, but you know how childish male humour goes). One time were watching Little Britain when the voice-over (Tom Baker) introduced an "Only gay in the village" sketch; up 'til then, we hadn't realised the character's name was Daffyd Thomas (Daffyd being the Welsh version of David).

Oh, how I laughed :D

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

HAHA, that's perfect. I have a friend named Brian Johnson which got a few AC/DC jokes when we were younger, but then Kevin Smith came along and he always uses the name Brian Johnson in his films which is loads of laughs.

We've been watching Little Britain for the first time this week, too! I'll have to check out your link and see what they went and stole. :)

My friends and I wrote skits like these all the time, weird off-the-wall humor, complete surreal ridiculousness and somehow we never got around to getting our own show :P
