Jumpin'

Mary was frying some Canadian bacon the other day. It was cheeky. While it cooked, it made these loud popping noises, and it jumped in the pan.



...then on my way to work, I passed this wig abandoned in a doorway on 17th Street. For some reason, my mind wanted to impose the bacon's behavior on the wig.



There you go.

I had to record this to make the popping sounds for the animations above. A rare behind-the-scenes glimpse at the dark underside of the creative process.

...and here's a live-action video of the miracle bacon in action

On BART. ~10-year-old boy was hoovering through snackfoods.  Then he turned to his mom and started pulling the most hilarious faces.  Everybody on the train was trying not to laugh.

Pedicure

Mary took me out for a pedicure for our anniversary. I’d never been.  Lord knows my feet could use some attention.  My operator, Cindy, met what must have been quite a challenge with good humor.

Before:

pedicure _before

This is in the iridescent foot-tub where you soak your feet while sitting in your spa-chair. Don’t worry, you can ask them to turn off the massage feature on your spa-chair.  There was lots of cutting and filing and pushing and scraping and much abrasive scrubbing. All in all, it was a little more sensation than I’m comfortable with.

 

After:

pedicure _after

So smooth! So pampered! My feet can’t believe that they’re a part of me anymore.  “What,” they wonder, “are we doing carrying this fat slob around?”

 

Stucco

Afterward we went out to Los Cantaros for a bite.  I like stucco the wall outside when the light’s right.
