Kiki's going to be a spider for Halloween!

I made a spider-suit for him. Four leg holes for his legs and 4 additional legs to hang off the sides. This photo kills me for hilarity. He is trying to escape/trying to stand up...

Kiki doesn't want to be a spider...

The costume would've fit better if Kiki's fur wasn't growing back so readily! Curses... I'm going to have to sew in a back panel to prevent him from toppling over to one side every time he tries to stand. The hilarity of it all!

Fox Theatre

The Fox Theatre is Bakersfield's answer to Kingston's The Screening Room.
So here I get to see fantastic independent films, in a theatre with great ambiance, for 1/3 the price of going to see a crappy movie at your average run-of-the-mill cineplex.
I LOVE the Fox Theatre!

At first I thought this bulding had something to do with the network. I was mistaken, but I'm very glad I was!

an old fashioned hand crank camera - decor in the ladies room. I feel that the fire extinguisher adds a certain... je ne sais quois

The Kern County Fair

I went to the fair last night with Karen and Kim (three science teachers going to an American Country Fair - you can imagine the fun!) we saw all sorts of fun things.
Big steers. Big horses. Really little horses. Deep fried zucchini. Elvis impersonator. Blimp. Crazy people. Drunk people. Crazy drunk people. If you look really closely at the giant steer photo you can see the top of the bull over the sheet that hides him from the public who won't pay the dollar to go in and see him.
