otisgiving!

otis's annual thanksgiving celebration, otisgiving, took place last night. we gathered together for the fifth year in a row to give thanks the only way an improv team knows how: by eating a veritable truckload of delicious food and drinking a bunch of beers. we also dress in costume on otisgiving. a couple of our past costume themes have been "sheeps & robots" and "pilgrims & native americans." this year's theme was "children of the future or something you can buy at the grocery." i chose the future, of course...i shined myself up with gold powder and employed the all-purpose, diy costume accessory: saran wrap. however, costumes were not the high point of otisgiving. we got a wonderful surprise visit from shelly who relocated to las vegas earlier this year. it was an otisgiving miracle.

i was so happy.













...and thankful.

red velvet thursday night

hello.

yesterday i got a flu shot and a tuberculosis test. both in the same arm; the left one. today it's a bit sore. it was a bit of a wonky day...however, last night, i completed season one of project runway. i am officially addicted. i can only home disc 1 of season two is on its way...asap. this past tuesday otis took some new pix. as you can see, we like to play. with toys. wearing smocks.




i'm feeling the need to tidy up my house. i'm not feeling the motivation. right now, i'd rather keep watching dvds and drinking my peach green tea from julius meinl. mmmmmmm...

...a foggy day here in chicago...after work, i drove over to the beach near our house and took a stroll.



the air was so quiet...it felt like i could be kidnapped at any moment.

my wednesday evening.

i am currently beginning project runway, season 1, episode 1 (hey. we don't have cable, folks).

i am eating take-out korean food.

i am happy.
