Today I ended up seeing the Fiesta parade around downtown. Luckily I had a digital with me to record the most absurd parade I’ve ever seen in my life. Most of the floats fell into a few categories: Local businesses and charities, people running for election or already elected, church and Christian floats, loosely historically related to New Mexican things, and people’s pimped out cars. Oh, and there were a few teen sports teams and highschool bands etc.
I was sort of hoping the queers would have a float- god knows we love a parade- but I didn’t see one.

The home made tattoo gun.

Kate got a home done tattoo. I was there when they first fired up the gun to hear her punctuated and continual screams under the needle. Check out the photos below for details of the homemade gun that was used and the tattooing in progress. Her reasoning for staying home sick and getting tattooed was ‘Since I don’t do any drugs anymore I need to do something else wild.’ A bloke she’d known for only a few weeks is doing the tattoo of Ursa Major across her left hip, lower back and lower abdomen. He has tattooed his entire chest himself with constellations and a deer skeleton that’s backbone wraps around his arm as a band and then goes on to his back. The stars he makes remind me of the stars in The Little Prince. I'll try to take one of her finished product soon.

A hodgepodge of things today for the course of the last month.
First off, me at Gideon's after graduation party at Maria's. I think i may have been growling at him over my sopapilla but i'm not sure. Either way- i need a frickin haircut.
Next up a few odds and ends from around the house: 'I can sin with love and respect' was originally an 'Eracism...with love and respect' sticker. Title from an article in 'The Voice' a while back. The best glossary page ever. I want to name a book this! And crazy Mardi Gras beads courtesy of Amata.
Lastly some pics of one of my fav local bikes. It's an electrically converted Harley Bopper from the 50's with some personal extras. Pretty sweet bar-hopping bike, non? 
Oh...and some weird collage i did a few years ago with photos i found.

Today Kate made some chages to a piece of 'flare' her company was making her wear. She also came along for a ride and we took some reference pics for verious comics- not to bore you with such things- so here's a picture of the sky today.

Suggestion has been made that yours truly looks like Jodie Foster (as a doppelganger, and the young Jodie mind you). I didn’t really see it at first but looking at young pictures of her the resemblance is absurd.
See what I mean? Yikes!

Pictures from various Roman ruins. In particular i became obssessed with Trajen's Markets in Rome. This ancient complex stands tall, intricate and impressive in two sections, much of it having survived because it became incorperated into the later architecture of Rome and the rest burried below street level. There's much marble intact and some of the original massive pillars. A modern road cuts these markets in half so there are now two different sections- lower and upper. Only the lower section was open when i went. The fresco in particular, just sitting open to the weather, i spent 15 minutes trying to figuer how to scale the building to get to. It's currently on the back of what is now a church. But if i wait two years they will open most of this to the public after renovations. So tempting. So many security cameras.
Here's a pretty good map of Rome while we're at it:

Every once in a while i am compelled to take pictures of the classic cars which roam the streets here. This my friends is a classic E-Type Jag. I haven't seen one since a car show in Dallas years ago. HOT. It was parked outside Willie's Blues Club last month.
