Some Random Pictures - May 2005

Usually I try to make any of my photoshop use transparent; meaning, i don't want to make it obvious that i use it.

But today i felt like being a little creative.

Here are some random stuff i took pictures of this spring.

miso thinks he's well hidden from marco

marco taking an afternoon catnap

alison finally began taking classes this year, after trying to convince her to do so for a long time

master hu works preparing rocky for the demo

molly enjoying her yogurt during the break between classes

marco was preparing for the tournament for a while, but then decided not to compete

marco introduced me to halo last fall, and we've been pushing each other to get better ever since

phil and jiayin getting tournament materials ready

not too many companies signed up to be sponsors

first nice day of spring on a saturday afternoon

gwan's birthday

after the competition, li jianqiang was stuck with us because his passport was lost.
so we tried to entertain him anyway we can

ummm...

For Li Jianqiang's last day in CT, a bunch of us gathered to go to 6 flags

without a doubt, the teacups are the craziest ride, and i'm not being my usual sarcastic self here

mmm, turkey legs for everyone

next step if for phil to get into real sports shooting

nathan is actually really good at golf. like everything else, he breaks it down to a science

it was a day full of golf; after nathan and i were at the driving range,
we went to play minigolf with alison, phil, jiayin, and peter

rocky had a birthday party bbq event.
the icecream truck swung by many times playing "fur elise" over and over and over

they held a raffle to raise money for rocky to go to china, jiayin won the lamp she really wanted

peter won a bunch of prizes

these were my students from Watkinson this spring. i was teaching them straightsword

marco invited me to join his brothers and other friends to go paintballing.
it was a lot of fun, and i can't wait to do it again. marco's brother is
filling up the hopper with much needed extra paintballs.

preparing for battle... this was the first time for most of us, so we were
pretty much destroyed by the dudes wearing full body camoflauge using air
rifles that had scopes who probably did this every week.

Marco didn't exactly blend in wearing a white tshirt. Get the white guy! Get the white guy!

leave it to me to whip out the camera in the middle of the action. i ran out
of ammo, so i had to do some shooting.

hey... real life Halo

i swear miso thinks he's speaking sometimes. meeeow meow reeawww
