cruisin’ down memory autobahn
one of my earliest flickr sets was dedicated to random magical moments with friends. not necessarily random per se, but meant as storage for photos that didn’t warrant their own set. i recently started one solely for 2009 in the same vein, since my original one was getting 600+ pix too heavy (it dates back to september 2005!).
flipping through the aforementioned old album is nuts on nostalgia. dang it if it ain’t a new and crazy sensation every time i look at pictures from the past! old hairstyles, clothes, apartments, relationships, etc. everything.
holidays, birthdays, halloween, parties, special occasions, NYE…celebrations like that were documented and had their own respective albums and therefore did not go into this random one.
here are some that i have exumed from the latter.
2006:
a freakin’ CLASSIC. this one’s for his great great grandkids
whale/shark watching at farallon islands. i got so incredibly seasick
that’s our boy
karuna looks so beijing
2007:
i think most everyone in this photo had just gotten their hair did by my roommate masha. enjoy this, cuz you’ll never see derek’s hair this short ever again
can you think of anything better? the only thing missing is a puppy and kitten
sis and i shared a great day in sunny sf
hellen had an uberbadass cut
one of many adventures
imprompty bbq at my place (one of those nice times where we could rally everyone together)
stockton, en route to a morrissey concert

hooray for photo memories!!!
p.s. the shot of the persimmon-boobies reminded me that I have a persimmon fetish… hopefully this autumn’s crop will be astounding (unlike 2008′s) and I will snap tons o’ photos…

hey, thanks for being first to comment. yay.
i too am a total persimmon fetishist. i love them so much. that cinnamon-y flavor, and i love the texture.

yes!! you understand persimmons! you understand me! (by extension)
my parents’ tree grows the best persimmons… better than i’ve seen in any grocery store. if you happen to be in L.A. come persimmon season, I’ll unload a bag of persimmons onto you.

aw i liked those proj runway nights. the email threads, potlucks, shit talking, jeffrey winning… sigh. yeah jeffrey winning was pretty awesome
we needa find another show to rally around. how about to catch a predator? i always do feel sad for those dudes. they take the bullet for the rest of the team.

one moral of this post is that it seems to be time to reinstate drawing night, no excuses
i can host every other one, and we can make it a productive night of fun and work>/?

some of us have scattered to different places now… we’ll have to watch ‘to catch a predator’ on speakerphone together.

I want to touch those persimmon tits …. YEAH
April 5th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
@andrea: i will take you up on that!
@derek: yes, me too. hopefully it serves as a reminder that we should always remember to hang out with our friends
@mike: those proj run nights were a lot of fun. goddamn jeffrey. so many laughs.
@ryan: yes, exactly! the “drawing” part of “drawing” night is just to rally the forces together. thx for offering to host

Jenn. I like your life. Those pictures are so great, especially your sea sick picture. I’m sending a postcard to the 2nd Ave. apartment soon, so be on the lookout. Miss you!

@alison: the feeling’s very mutual. i like yours. i can’t wait to get the postcard! you’d really like the state of the apartment now, both boys are cool, masha’s doing great it seems. wish you were here
