And up...? - roses from bryan and george
Bryan and George sent roses to my school to help me feel better about my miserable life. It worked. I'm easy. - bryan paints the speakers
First, some pictures from home. One of our home improvement projects has been changing Bryan's giant black speakers from eyesores into landscapes. Here, Bryan touches up the base coat of hills and sky. - leyla christiaan
Leyla and Christiaan kick it on the "prayer island," actually a platform in the middle of a swamp. Peaceful. - bryan buddy 5
And down. - blurry beautiful tomato
Now, this picture's a little blurry, but I found it very important to capture the beauty of this tomato. Perhaps the best I've ever eaten. - bryan kite
Bryan launches the good kite. - fire drill group 2

birds - orchid
After years of pining, I finally got my orchids. This shot looks ridiculously artsy, but really it's just the unglamorous light of the sun coming up. See, our daylight savings shift means I get to work after sunrise now, so that's exciting. - badass sea crap
