The End of My Day
after a long day in the studio, i like to wind down with a photo shoot at a mosquito-infested park next to a lake of brackish water, with a fake plastic octopus. i like to think of it as my “me time.” here’s the photo evidence. thanks to megan, erika, cale, and everyone else who worked so hard to make this shoot happen. stay tuned for the actual photos…

Have you seen this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZxZzNk848
it’s something the BBC have done over here in England, for a show aptly titled “All the Small Things”
anyhow, the video involves a Choir rendition of “What’s my age again?”…it’s quite wierd but gets more interesting as time goes on, i’m sure you’ll enjoy it in some way
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:47 am
win win win!
sounds like a nice productive day mark! looking forward to seeing blink hit up the UK
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:47 am

this is sick mark. i like the outfits too. and what a gentleman, paying $900 dollars for a fake octupus instead of a real one.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:02 pm
i can’t wait until you release the actual photos, it looks like such an interesting shoot.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Hey, if anybody reads this, spread the word. Go to youtube and look up this new BBC show called All the Small Things. In one of the episodes, a choir does a cover of What’s My Age Again? IT IS HILARIOUS!!
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Why do you like octopus so much? explain us what they mean for you
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:34 pm
the new album cover is gonna have an octopus isnt it. every day it becomes more apparent. just be careful, making out with live octopuses is not safe. they bite weeners.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
LOL that british choir singing whats my age again is fcking crack up. love the midget. love that thing. It is so small and sings well.
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:36 pm

April 23rd, 2009 at 5:00 pm
