have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend christmas with my family? no? okay well here it is anyway. we start our tour with photos of christmas at gramma's. essential for my family christmas insanity tour.
here is a cute picture of my sister and a baby:
aww, wasn't that cute...
here is a picture of my cousin. yes i am really related to this person.
here is a picture of my other cousin. yes i am really related to this person as well.
yes, we are a crazy family, but we have fun. right? ...
here is a girl with some puppets on her feet.
isn't she cute?
this is my brother, he's "special".
here he is again. see, isn't he just the sweetest little thing?
here are some kids looking at something.
this is my aunt. she didn't wanna be on the internet. whoopsie!
and finally, your host, gramma!
yes she
is wearing a tiara, thankyouverymuch.
well whew that was fun, huh, boys and girls. here are some photos of some trees so that you can get ready for the next part of the raedy's family insanity christmas tour.
we made cookies.
my sister made a very large one, with hello kitty on it.
we made one together of the logo for "sister band". that's the name of our band. it has an apple on it because, well, we both have giant apple cheeks. and sb, well that stands for sister band, duh!!
my brother made some cookies, isn't he adorable?
well i hope you all enjoyed the photos of the cookies. here's me enjoying family insanity christmas:
oh, chuckle.
and here was my brother's response:
kids these days.
here are my siblings enjoying some christmas presents from santa claus:
note the light orb on my brother's shirt. mean anything? also see the stocking with my computer generated, 1983 photograph. isn't it cute/weird? some things never change.
my sister got a guitar. it's name is lester.
somebody's excited, huh?!
well that's it, kids. you had all better enjoy this because it took me about an hour. ugh.
in closing, i would just like to say,
cory wuvs his mommy!
bonus photos:
and....
also, if you're interested, here is a
movie i made.
try to picture that song, we like the cars, the cars that go boom with it. i couldn't figure out how to integrate movie and sound b/c well, if you wanna help explain it to me please email me because it's much funnier with the soundtrack.
okay.
just so you all know, here is apost with about 15 photos on it. it could take a while to load, so my advice is start 'er up, and go try to busy yourself with something less important for the next couple of minutes (suggestions: raise your young, read that paper you're supposed to be reading (liz), send out some "rectangular p" emails, cook dinner for a loved one, discuss something with other humans, etc.) as you wait impatiently for the photos to pop up. you may even be the star of one of them!
so here we go.....
first, here are some artsy photos which i took specifically for the amusement they might provide. look for each of them in my new book, raedy's emo photos, as they could each be used for the cover of an emo album.
this one is called "garbage flower". it's a commentary on today's throwaway society. shame on us!
here's one i think we all, as mammals, can relate to.
here's one of a foggy, foggy night, taken from my bedroom window.
but, raedy, we need a city sunset photo. whine whine. i hear ya.
now you wanna see an underpass? there's just no pleasing you...
and that ends the artsy collection. now let's take a break with an obligatory bunny photo, shall we?
sigh. that was great, wasn't it, kids?
shall we continue? okay...
now here are two photos of brent's band playing in chicago. this was before i fell down.
here's another:
want me to photograph your band at your next event? i do proms, weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, funerals, etc. whatever. i work cheap too. real cheap.
now here are some photos of halloween.
ooo no wait, first a really weird picture of my sister:
okay now for some halloween photos:
let's start with some jackolantern photos.
this is the one i made:
i know, it sucks. don't patronize me. :P
this is the one someone else made but i enjoyed (which i think we all know is the most important job)
and now here is my sister enjoying a pumpkin:
and here is my brother enjoying one:
and now here's a good time to take another break, with a refreshing photo of a mullet.
okay let's get back to work, kids.
here are some face painting photos.
three guesses for what this is going to be:
and now mike is going to get a green tomato with his name on it.
look how well it turned out!
(this blog does not endorse allowing mentally insane people to either paint faces or have their faces painted. i just capture the news, i don't create it. please send angry letters elsewhere.)
and here are some cute kids doing some face painting. please ignore the lady in the back.
whew.
now let's finish up with a few photos of my sister being weird.
(note: this would have been normal, had it occurred on halloween. sadly, it did not. these girls actually believe they are cards. sigh. we're doing the best we can to get them the treatment they need.)
creepy? uh, you be the judge:
if you weren't sure before, you should be now:
thus ends todays photoblog post. please join us next time for more strange photos. peace out.
okay so i had some problems with the place i was storing my photos, but i figured it out and made myself a new site to store them. hopefully that will be okay. anyway, without any further comment...
this is a photo for my aunt.
here are some photos illustrating how mike and snickers are best pals.
the other day, snickers had a party when mike and i were not home. hidden camers captured the whole thing:
playing with party balloons:
getting wild with some weird party lighting:
the aftermath.
okay now we have some photos i took out my window, because, hey, why not?
then, as you can see, the top of the sears tower was lit up red and blue for the cubs, until they let us all down by losing like the big fat losers they are. heehee.
