Jenna Fischer Scare

From dfw.com:

Actress Jenna Fischer, better known as Pam, the receptionist on The Office, fell down a flight of stairs in a New York bar and fractured her back in four places. Thankfully, Fischer suffered no spinal damage and is expected to recover in time to shoot the fourth season of the popular NBC comedy series. Blab! talked to Pam's boss, Michael Scott, who expressed relief, saying, "Fortunately, she works behind a desk so we could've just propped her up back there if we had to."

I'm trying SO hard...

Who's the Creepy Guy?

It's ME!

That's how I felt last night, anyways. If there's anything that makes me more uncomfortable than eating in a nice restaurant or going to a movie alone, it's going to a movie alone AT MIDNIGHT.

I went to see "Clue" at the Inwood Theatre in Dallas last night, and it was cool to finally see it on the big screen. I thought I was meeting one or two people there, but was already in Dallas when I got the email that said I was on my own. Even though I doubt anyone REALLY cares (I know I don't look around the movie theater to see who's sitting by themselves), I still felt really self-conscious the whole time. I think I'll do it more often, so that eventually it doesn't feel so weird...

Here's Ron and Edna Riek with Matt and Brad at Matt and Rene's wedding. Just an hour after this, we were all treated to Brad's "Running Man" at the reception. This was a really fun night.

A Classic

Our 2001 Halloween Party. There's Randy the Texan, CP the World's Largest Jawa, Brad as Ash from Evi Dead, and Canadian Mike as Uncle Sam.

Mel and I were VIP's at the 50th Anniversary Playboy Club Tour. It was AWESOME! Dita von Teese performed, many bunnies posed for pics, and we partied like rock stars.

Need Your Help

So I'm going to be in a comic with some kind of "spotlight" thingy. I already spent all day figuring out a picture to send (The 3 choices I gave them follow), but I have to give them 3 "fun / unsual facts" about myself.

So the first 2 weren't bad, but I need someone to help me out with the third...

1. Lives in a 1930's bungalow with a dog (Solo) and 2 cats (Jack and Sally).
2. Has an extensive collection of tiki mugs, Hawaiiana, and indigenous art.
3. Has no clue!

Help a brother out,

I don't remember if she was drunk or agitated, but that's NOT a happy birthday face!

More of "CP's Favorite Pics", coming your way.

This was Mel's birthday party, which had a prom theme. Left to right, you have Erin, Ryan, Lori, and me. Neil was busy playing prom music with his band, so I was elected Prom King. First time for everything...

Yahoo Photos Closing

If you've still got some pics hanging around in Yahoo Photos, you'll want to watch for an email asking what you want them to do with them. I have enough that downloading one by one seems to be a colossal pain in the butt, so I'm probably going to opt for the $6.96 CD-ROM...

I don't need another cat... I don't need another cat...

I MEAN it, I don't need another cat! But he's so darned cute...

This little orange and white cat is wandering around in my front yard, and helped me carry out the trash. He walked back and forth with me, then when I sat on my steps he just sat beside me and hun out. He scratched at what was probably a flea, so I went in and got one of Jack's flea drops (Advantage) and put on him. You know, just in case. He can't live in my house, but he should at least not get fleas or ticks, right?

btw, my phone takes crazy pictures when used in conjunction with my Army-style green LED flashlight!
