A Blast from the Past

Somewhere in Oklahoma, Winter of 06. I was driving the van when the drive shaft fell off of the back axel. Nathan, Justin and I ended up getting a ride to a rest area from a cop. We spent ten dollars in change on snacks while Jeff and Adam rode with the tow truck driver to someone's garage to have the van repaired.

This is the culmination of a week when everything fell into place. Next thing I knew I was living in a small apartment with Liz and Moya in Brooklyn.

Hamming it up in Pre Pumpkin Carving Pictures

I found an old roll of film in my camera from last Christmas in Florida. It had a few shots left on it, so we took some pictures while we got ready for the night's festivities.

I think this was the only five minute window all day when it didn't rain.

Moya was hamming it up (#1) all afternoon.

I'm don't remember what Dana had in her hand, but I'm sure Moya was hamming it up (#2) in order to get a piece.

Dana and Moya's neck fur hamming it up (#3).

We have these amazing, old statues in the backyard that peak through the bushes.

Spring 08' Hudson Valley Farm Trip

Florida v. Florida State Crab Feast 08'

Mike Lee and the guys decided to buy some Chinatown crabs for the big game.

Toro!

A tasty crab is a tired crab.

"You're a Seminoles fan?"

I wish I could say that this little guy tasted good. I really wish I could.

Put that thing in the pot! Harry's wigging out!

Moya's Tale (not tail)

The following is a true story of Moya's brief life as a stuntdog.








Moya scored a sweet role as a stuntdog for a big-time Bollywood flick titled: The Day of the Dog : Dog Gone Bad.













She trained for this scene for months. In it, she stole the middle bike from this bike rack. Notice the meat hooks. Dangerous territory. Hence the need for a stuntdog.

After nabbing the bike she was chased by this no-nonsense cop. Note the menacing scowl.

The cop ends up chasing Moya up fifteen flights of stairs to this window. What would you do if you were a 'Dog Gone Bad'? Jump out the window while it's being torn down because of a huge amount of asbestos that hindered any hope of rehabilitation for said building. Yeah, that's what you'd do.

And that's what she did. If you squint you can almost not see her impressive 360 swan dive that she practiced 359 times before the scene was shot.
