Restless Floyd Syndrome

Before I left for Greece, Dave gave me a present: a small stuffed dog, white and black, whom we christened Floyd. During my year abroad, Floyd traveled everywhere with me – Greece, Turkey, the islands. He has become something of the mascot of our relationship. He's starting to become a bit worn out, but that's only proper, I suppose, because of how well-loved he is! He reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit in that way.

This is Floyd's second (and much more elaborate) stop-action movie! Dave is the screenwriter, director, cinematographer, producer, and second grip of this 2012 independent film. I'm just the muse! ;) I hope you enjoy:

T-rex, take 2

My friend Joe recently directed me to the tumblr "T-Rex Trying..." I apparently never get tired of the short-T-rex-arms joke! I hope you don't either:

Dry T-Shirt Contest

Dave made what I consider to be an ill-advised purchase last weekend, while he was Up North with his parents. But it's too late now! The real question is: who wears it better?? Please register your vote in the comments section below. Do it now.

For your information, this may or may not be a preview of my Halloween costume this year.

Saturday morning pick-me-up

I'm settling in for a weekend full of productivity (thesis introduction! course development! research proposal! teaching prep!), and it's best to start with a smile, no?

Poor T-rex! We finally figured it out that you don't drag your tail on the ground, but use it to counterbalance your leaning forward. But we STILL don't understand those tiny little arms!
