Don't choke on the sweet smell of freedom

Here is a stunning view from the top of a parking garage in Little Tokyo.

Here is some sushi that is NOT the size of your head.

That was a Roseburg joke...

The sign said "High in taste...........Low in price".
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It certainly was.

This appears to be the chest of my brothers friend Christine.

This is Christine with an 11 inch pink pen.

This is hello kitty fruity puding.

Maybe I'm NOT the target demographic.

This is a hand bag made out of several different animals, some of them may be dragon.

Judging by their products; Japan is a very small.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
And adorable.

I really don't know what to say about this picture. I like the color though.

There seem to a lot of new houses near my parents.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Most of them are adorable.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Maybe they are from Japan.

This "turbo charged" Cadillac had four flat tires and was filled with garbage.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It had a sweet hood ornament though.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I think this is a futuristic boat car.

These are the (sad) charred remains of Griffith park. I am told that during the fire they evacuated all of the animals from the zoo and put little gass masks on all of them.

Adorable...

The great escape

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here I am; disheveled and ready to go.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
On the one day that it wasn't raining.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
At the airport I started bleeding for no apparent reason.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I don't really understand how I manage to injure myself wherever I go.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is the San Fransisco airport. I was going to make a joke about the smugness of the airport, but, the airport was fine, except that they were charging $4 for a small hot chocolate, that might just be an airport thing though...

I went into Brookstone and tried out an electric (massager) chair that literally locked your arms and legs in. The experience was vagley terrifying.

Unfortunately, flying out of Eugene means that a one two-hour flight equals two filghts spanning eight hours.

This is a family of reindeer at the Burbank airport.

This is my dog.

Buckles of the future

Here is a sneak peek into the future. These Gheetro-fabulous belt buckles haven't even been isted for sale yet.

This is Santa. He is a jolly old man who lives in the North Pole. Contrary to popular belief; he is NOT the brother of Satan.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is an angry gorilla I made for my brother. My brother works on a reality TV show about dieting. I think he should wear this buckle to work and scare contestants into shape.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is jeweled dinosaur I made for Lee Ann. While this buckle is not intended to scare anyone, I hope that it can be used to bring the avant-garde-belt buckle craze to the Arkansas...we shall see.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is my shark buckle. Obviously this is another buckle meant to instill fear in all who look upon it...
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is Menorah belt buckle. Surprisingly, there isn't a large Jewish population in Roseburg (who would have thought?) so I have found myself, the defender of Judaism on several occasions.

Soon all of these fine items will be available for YOU to purchase at gheetro.etsy.com

Festivals of light

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is the Roseburg Festival of Lights (not to be confused with Hanukkah; The Festival of Lights). This one is a light show that you drive through with 3D glasses, and has nothing to do with looting, massacre, the outlaw of Judaism or candle oil lasting eight days.

Lee Ann had an extra carrot cake, I became the lucky recipient of said cake.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Again, I will note how strange it is for winter to begin and your lawn turns green!
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is a covered bridge...

I ordered a double americano at a coffee place. I was asked what size I wanted, I pointed at the medium cup, the barista said so you want a tall
americano in a grande cup, or maybe it was the other way around. I just didn't know what any of it meant, I think I may have been ripped off.

I got this plastic ox for a belt buckle.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After thinking about it I decided...
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Who the hell is going to wear a belt buckle with a plastic ox on it?
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Actually...I think the plastic ox is on the desk in between the computer and the earplugs.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Thus; I have no idea what that last set of photographs were about.

Christmas sweater

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan and Lilly had a holiday-themed-sweater party.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan's dad's bluegrass band played. I think they sounded like Old Crow Medicine Show.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here is Megan in a Christmas themed nightgown. note: it is not technically a sweater, it is however quite festive, so we'll let it slide.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Various types of beer were offered. I stuck with the plain flavored beer, or maybe you could call it original recipe.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I heard that Megan had invited her students to join the party. Unfortunately none of them showed up.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
There was a very large dog at the party. Legend has it that this dog had once eaten another dog...color me horrified.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here are some guests shot-gunning beer for Jesus

A good time was had by all. I felt quite ill the next day.
