Pan's Labyrinth

We watched Pan's Labyrinth last night... I gotta say it was not what I expected. It was not so much a fairy tale, as a war movie with a smidge of fairy tale. I don't know quite what to say about it! There were some very disturbing, violent scenes in it, that I thought were unnecessary and gratuitous. *sigh*

C & I sold my '98 Honda Civic last night. It's fun to have a new (to me) car, but last night I realized, I'll miss the Civic. Goodbye Pebbles.

I'm in the midst of making a wee Halloween tree. I'm having a blast. I'll post pics when I'm done. I'm also redesign the website for my cousin's yoga studio. Hopefully it will all come together nicely. I find web design to be tedious, at least the way I do it. Wish me luck!

C & I, cracking ourselves up

This is a crazy cool drawing my coworker did. It's the monkey version of me!

C and I were having a lively discussion the other night and the end of it went as follows:

C: Your logic's all messed up, Johnny Cochrane.
Magpie: You're a crazy crack head, OJ.

heh hehh hehhheheheheh. :D

Some more wedding...

Here's a small vignette of our wedding... Not all the important peeps are shown, but that would be a much larger picture. :)

My mom made my beautiful dress and the luminaries were my handiwork.

'Coon days

Here's a new little painting of mine... Quite a summery feel to this one, suitable for today. 86 degrees, quite a change after the cool weekend we had. Brrrr, chilly. :)

BFFFFF

Big and I had a meeting of our club, BFFFFF, last night. Here's a picture of Big's doppelganger, Brad Friedel. He looks eerily like Big and for a second I thought this WAS him. Friedel looks especially like him when he has this quizzical look on his face. Heh heh. Bizarre....

Anyway, we met at the Thai Place and shared some good food and laughs.

Apparently in Florida, you can snorkel with manatees which "are just like sting rays." (I WAS THINKING MANTA RAYS!!!)

Big recently spent some times in the Philippines and has some pics of beautiful sunsets cuz he is too lazy to get up and take pretty sunrise pictures (Hmph, lazy!).

He says there are really great beaches there, but some take quite a lot of travel by various means to reach (boat, three wheeled scooter, etc- right Big??). He also mentioned that there's a tasty creation called egg pie (which is made of eggs). heh heh heh.

People often feel like throwing Big in the ocean when he comes back from exotic places like the Philippines and shows off all his great pics. Shoot, sometimes you just wanna throw him in the ocean for no reason really. heh, juuuust kidding Big. Good seeing you last night!
