if these no neck monsters don't stop bothering me!

i saw cat on a hot tin roof the other day. PICTURES:

yeah..i forgot to warm up...

me and tywanna practicing for when tywanna makes it big!
see, what had happened is i thought we were doing a group photo...

almost as creepy kewpie babies

among other things, i've noticed that parents put their small children on scooters and drag them around town. i guess they're worried that the kids' legs will fall off or something if they're forced to walk on the sidewalk; and clearly a scooter is far more aerodynamic than a regular stroller, particularly if you want your kid to go flying down that hill at the bottom of the street. i had some ingenious alliterative name for this generation of scooter babies, which katleen approved of, but it now escapes the both of us. what i wouldn't give for a memory.

bedtime wisdom

don't let the knife crime bugs bite

down with the people! i mean the man! i mean, smoke more cigarettes!

last night i attended an anarchist meeting in an interesting little bookstore, the topic of the evening: police brutality. their mission: to take pictures of the police who take pictures of protesters and call them out by name. i was a little confused about how exactly those particular actions are intended to destabilize the police force and the greater police state that they have here in the UK, but there's a lot i don't know about the world. edify me cap'n!

tywanna and i are so, so tired.

actually, i decided to wing the last half of my trip, so after agrigento i'm doing it all ad hoc. also i heard i need to watch out for stray dogs. but what they don't know is that i'm a dog whisperer. spspsppspsps woof woof.
