When I first posted about this Thanksgiving’s deep-fried turkey earlier this evening, I forgot to mention that for this past holiday’s music to fry to, I chose to use Steve Jablonsky’s soundtrack for Gears of War 3. Should have made a note of that earlier ‘cuz hey, that kind of thing is important to my personal ritual of deep-frying turkey. Kristen and my friends that I was frying for all thought that it was a terrific score and perfect for the occasion 🙂

Well, a short while ago Kristen surprised me with this video that she put together of me preparing the turkey in the kitchen and then putting it into the oil… which turned out to be the most dangerous bird that I have yet to fry!! No seriously: a tiny bit of hot oil jumped up and hit me in the face. It startled me for a ...

As I have done (most) Thanksgivings since 2002, I deep-fried some turkey! Just now getting the pics up ‘cuz my girlfriend Kristen stayed here for the holiday: our first Thanksgiving together! And she was the one taking the pics and I hadda wait until she got back home to pull them to her computer and send them to me. So for those who had wondered if I fried turkey this year: ohhhhh yeah!!

In fact, I fried two birds this Thanksgiving. The first for another family that are good friends of mine, and the second was ours. Kristen was there to photo document most of the entire process.

Here I am with that crazy look that I get whenever my mouth starts salivating for fried turkey. It was probably a good thing that Kristen spent this Thanksgiving with me: she got to see how I really am when it comes ...

What a crazy day this has turned into!! A little while ago we were at Woods of Terror in nearby Guilford County and had our photo taken with Addy Miller, AKA the cute lil’ zombie girl from the very first episode of The Walking Dead. But before we did that, this afternoon there was the Trunk or Treat event at Fairview Baptist Church. What a great opportunity to pull off something that I had the idea for way back in the spring…

So here we are: Kristen Bradford as Naomi Pryce, Yours Truly as William Shatner, and Steven Glaspie as Big Deal from the TV commercials for Priceline!

But that’s not all! After Kristen posted that pic onto her Facebook page I immediately Twitter-ed about it.

And William Shatner himself re-tweeted it!!!

So some friends and I went to “Weird Al” Yankovic‘s show in Charlotte on Saturday night, the latest stop during his new Alpocalypse concert tour.

And not for the first time (actually it’s my third and I think Ed’s ummm… fourth or fifth?), we got to meet Al 🙂

Here’s my filmmaking partner “Weird” Ed Woody with Al…

Here is good friend Marissa with Al! Okay, Marissa is, like, one of the most mature eighth graders that you will ever find. But on the trip to Charlotte yesterday she steadily began turning into this whole other person and when Al came out on stage Marissa went totally berzerko!! She is a bigtime Al fan and, well… you can imagine what happened when she got to meet her hero 🙂

When we brought her back home at 2 a.m. I warned her father that he was going to see ...

This past weekend was the fall Showcase of the Arthur Murray Dance Studio at the Hotel Roanoke (in umm… Roanoke. Virginia. I think…). It went on most of the day and well into the night and it was a blast! I saw ballroom dancing that boggled my gray matter bigtime.

Here are two of them for your viewing pleasure. The first is none other than my girlfriend Kristen, in what the announcer describes as her “really sexy little tiny costume”, performing a Mambo…

Now this next one, I really regret that I didn’t get the first part of it because I was… well, confused about what they were doing initially. And then the first notes of “Harry’s Wondrous World” from John Williams’ score for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone began playing.

What followed was a Viennese Waltz perhaps unlike any other, performed by Beth Craighead and Mohammed Taher ...

Let’s finish this day’s blogging with a little culture, shall we?

Kristen, my girlfriend, is an absolute fiend for ballroom dancing. That is something that I’ve known since the very beginning of our relationship. She’s already begun teaching me a few things like Rumba, Waltz etc. though it’s gonna be awhile before I’m anywhere close to how good she is 🙂

But this past weekend was the first time that I really got to see her practice her chosen art… and she completely astounded me with her ability! It’s something that was just screaming to be shared on this blog.

So here’s Kristen dancing Mambo. And I also recorded her doing a Waltz but my stupid finger was over the iPad’s microphone during that performance (d’oh!)…

If y’all are good, maybe next time it’ll be a clip of her and me doing a Waltz together 😉...

Not much time for blogging, ‘cuz your friend and humble narrator has had his hands in all kinds of projects! And then again there’s been so much nonsense happening in the news lately, it’s been hard to pick and choose what to comment on.

(Hey all you politicians in D.C., there’s a really easy way to stop worrying about the debt ceiling: quit making more debt!! Sheeeeesh must a guy with a blog have to come up with everything for you people?!)

Okay well, expect more good stuff in the next few days or so. And to kick it off, how about something beautiful? No not more Lauryn, even though my cousin is still the most awesomely sweet official pinup girl that this or any other website could possibly have. But rest assured, Lauryn will be back soon 😉

Time for something a lil’ different. Here is Kristen this ...
