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…

    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

  65. jeff Says:

    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!!

  66. bah Says:

    Why do you like octopus so much? explain us what they mean for you :)

  67. nip [new sheepland] Says:

    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.
