I saw this view of the trees tonight and I always think branches at dusk always look cool...

TUX FITTING

Brian wanted me to get fitted for a tuxedo...well I can't seem to stop playing phone tag with him so here it is...

Postscript: I guess I am a 44S in a Fubu coat...in case you go that way.

This is Richard Gere for those of you who have never watched Pretty Woman...(where he pays for a prostitute and then falls in love with her) (Everytime I interview an ex-prostitute they always claim that is what happened to them...but they never shape up to Julia...)

He was in Cambridge for the Hasty Pudding Pot award for Man of the Year...given by Harvard to an actor every year...I was the pool video for the ceremony and the roast...so if you see any of the video where he recieves it...I shot that...from what I understand it will be on ET and Insider on Monday as well as possibly Access Hollywood...

FIRE

PICTURES FOR MATT

I made a promise...and now (almost 8 years later) I'm going to keep it...
I told Matt that I would draw him ten pictures in exchange for a donation to something in college...He has been very patient...only mentioning it every other time we see each other...
But his persistance has paid off because I will be working on the remaining eight pictures...Here is the one I did for him one night in Monopole I believe...Two more will be banana themed...one will be meant for his bathroom...and the other five will come to me when I'm not under so much pressure...I only hope that Matt can scan these so I can show you the other eight... THANKS FOR REMINDING ME MATT.

I should probably go to bed so I won't be late for work tomorrow.

ONE PANEL "CARTOON"

Thanks to my friend Steph for letting me use a picture of her...

PAINT PROGRAM

This was drawn with a mouse and uses the Paint program standard on all PC's...
My buddies have told me that I should bring up the fact that all the altered images on my blog are done with a very basic program...I think it is what gives it its ghetto look but they have been impressed that I use the Paint program that is on every PC's Accessories menu...It makes manipulation of images very tedious but I guess I have a knack for it since I have been practicing on Paint since the late eighties in school...I hope you are enjoying the pictures...and would like to know what you think.

YELLOW CAR OWNERS

Shane and Ruth are two of my friends who have yellow cars... Shane is the one on the roof of his car...so I bet you can guess which one is Ruth's car...thanks for the pictures guys...Keep on Driving...Check out Ruth's blog (a lot of it is in Spanish or Catalan - The primary languages in Andorra)
Also a friend of mine has also started watching for yellow cars...He used to work with me in Plattsburgh but now works in Manchester...Check out Ken's blog

GOT "24" FOR VALENTINES

I am totally addicted to 24, with Kiefer Sutherland, I got Seasons 1 and 2 for Christmas and watched them in less than two weeks...Then against my wife's pleas for sanity I purchased Season 3 and watched that like a sleepless maniac...
I restrained myself for about a month since I at least an episode of Season 5 to look forward to...
Then Heather got me Season 4 (which is supposed to be the most suspenseful)...I am already half through it...
I got Heather a pajamagram...So I got her a gift so she can sleep comfortably and she got me a gift that stops me from sleeping...What a wonderful Valentines.

Marblehead, MA for Blizzard

Before the storm...After the storm.

ONE NIGHT TRIP

Drove to Albany to see a movie with a few friends...at The Spectrum
The Big Lebowski is the most recent of a long list of movies I have cross national boundries and travelled hours to see...This one was at midnight and so I drove two and a half hours from Boston after work...I hooked up with my friends... Andy and Chainsaw...Chainsaw dressed as the Dude from the beginning of the movie where he wore a bathrobe and slippers.

After the movie we went to the Lark Tavern and other bars till 4pm...I had to be fresh because I was working storm coverage tomorrow in Boston...

Step into Chainsaw's door.

WHY?

Some people think that snowmen look great always...even if their face and features are a little chipped and faded...But I can't understand why this snowman is still up when there is no snow to be seen anywhere in the county in which I saw this sad, miserable, lonely straggler...

SNOWMAKING ON BOSTON COMMON

They were making snow on Boston Common for some ski show over the weekend...Little did they know we may get a Noreaster over the weekend...of course that is subject to change...but it really made this one tree look cool because it was getting snow on the bottom of the branches and every other tree was still brown...It was so nice to see...(man I am an ugly person - look at my mug on the bottom right of that picture...)
Anyway it got me in the mood for ice cream...so I had my favorite...Black Raspberry Another ugly picture of me...But it is expressive...

FUNNY COMMERCIAL

This commercial is pretty funny and I thought you would appreciate it in the fact that the main charcter is proud of his yellow car...

MELLOW YELLOW

Here are some yellow cars from friends...

Mike in NC
Somewhere in NY

Brad on his trip out to CA (or in SC)

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TUESDAY

Chainsaw sent me a chain link to what looks like Ike the greatest Jack Black white film of all time clock...

Today I work in Massachusetts proud to know that on this day in 1788 Massachusetts was the sixth state to ratify the US Constitution...
Just 10 years after the Treaty of Alliance between France and the Americans to protect each other against British forces... (here's a look at the treaty)

This is my Star Trek sweater...I wear it when I want to feel stellar...

Driving around MA...I went from Government Center to Lunenburg (1 hr away north west) and then had to go 2.5 hrs south east to New Bedford...

MOVIE SHOOT IN BOSTON

The movie is called "STIFFS" and is about a funeral home I believe...The story we did for the news centered around the guy on the right...known on the internet as the "Dead Body Guy" and he got his part to play a dead body in this movie...The movie will star Danny Aiello and has a bunch of familiar Italian actors who are trying to keep the funeral home going...I got to see Jon Polito (guy on the left) palling around with the Dead Body Guy, Chuck Lamb, before they shot a scene together...where Dead Body Guy is...well...Dead (and in a body bag)
You might remember Jon Polito from many of the Coen Brothers films...Barton Fink, Hudsucker Proxy, and Big Lebowski as well as such greats as Highlander, The Crow, and The Rocketeer... And check out Dead Body Guy's website...it's a hoot...

RABBIT Rx

Here is Doc Patch...He is a crazy doctor who also made his debut in "The Wack Zone" while I was in High School...He is mostly insane because of all the broken thermometers and his misuse of ether...

FEATHERED FELLOW

Here's a character I have been working on for years...His name is Clyde...He is a toucan who always walks around in winter hat and short pants...He debuted in my comic strip "The Wack Zone" that ran in my High School Paper more than ten years ago...I am working on a storyline where he plays a prominant role as an imaginary companion of the protagonist...
He likes to just hang out and tends to be not over-bright...He has been known to have a 40 of Brass Monkey when he can...
