024/365: 01-24-10 Black Lodge Video

Some days, particularly warm and sunny ones, I get an itch to walk to Black Lodge Video that just does not go away until I scratch it.

Anyone who lives in Midtown, or really in all of Memphis, as far as I’m concerned, probably knows what a great video store this is. But for anyone who [...]

005/365: 01-05-2010 Transcribing

Paul and Angela of From the Southern Table are pretty great. Not only are they friendly, interesting, food-loving, blog-writing, chicken-raising Midtowners, they also hooked me up with some freelance transcription work. I love transcribing their interviews. Typing what people say as they say it is one of my hidden talents, and something I unexpectedly miss [...]

Halloween 2009: Bacon, a shower, Zombie Jesus and more.

I thought I was going out of town this weekend to visit my new in-laws. Did I tell you my sister got married? Yep, on Monday October 26, she and Andrew up and got hitched at the courthouse all spur-of-the-moment-like and whirlwind. I found out about it on Facebook. Crazy, right? See, story is…they’ve been [...]

Michelle Duckworth

Someone posted twitpics a few days ago of some beautiful artwork at Beignet Cafe by Michelle Duckworth. I fell in love with those little photos. Thinking that Beignet Cafe was in New Orleans (it is, but apparently a Beignet Cafe opened in downtown Memphis in April? Just now realizing this after some Googling. Wow I [...]

Day 293 (10/24/2009): Rocktoberfest 5 (SO many good photos!)

Saturday night was the 5th Rocktoberfest, a Halloween party Patrick throws every year. Everyone dresses up as a musician and most will lip-sync (or actually sing, or dance, or rock out on guitar) a song by their musician. It’s like karaoke but better. This year’s costumes were incredible. Everyone totally brought it. I could never [...]

Day 291 (10/22/2009): Chinese Sub Shop

Also called the “Chinese sub shop.” On Highland, this place is a staple for U of M students but somehow I never ate there. Had lunch for the first time here with Diana on Thursday when we went to The Fun Shop down the street to get a rasta wig for my Rocktoberfest costume. This [...]

The College Photos

Are done.

Whole set here. Many pictures of me looking skinny and hot and oh so young. Also many pictures of you, possibly, if we were kickin’ it back then. Feast your eyes on this taste of scanned memories…

Day 283 (10/14/2009): Dish and Alex’s

Diana and I went out for Round Two on Wednesday night. What started as a lovely quiet evening with her, Howell, Grace and Hannah ended up as a rowdy, ridiculous night with her, Lynn and David. I got my camera out in Dish. Then at Alex’s. This one is from Dish…

Day 282 (10/13/2009): Young Avenue Deli, table-level

Despite my cold, I was stir crazy on Tuesday. Diana and I met for drinks at the Deli, then I had a few at Boscos. Full set here.

* I like this photo. Straight out of the camera too! *

Driving into Memphis sunset (10/11/2009)

I REALLY like this photo.

I turned 30 this year, man. I don’t feel 30. I feel, like, 27. — Overheard at Ernestine & Hazels
