It's been a mighty long time. Laveta's been m.i.a. since two seasons ago, but we salvaged this lost episode from the archives. To get quite specific, baby brother Sammy Davis, Junior stops by to wax nostalgic with that golden-voiced scamp. There's no bad blood here as they exchange mysterious whispers in between mommy-talk and electric band squawk. By the by, if you see the ole man on the moon, look up his number (you know the name).

Pink slips

He has risen

Rejoice! This dude knows how to celebrate, but he's a bit too bombastic concerning his mastery of the stringless guitar for my taste.

It's alright, my man; bring the noise! He has risen, indeed!

Summer house

A week and some change ago, mama jane and myself swiped a free house that had been kicked to the curb right around the corner from the olde homestead. As one might imagine, baby jane was more than pleased with the quaint plastic cottage.

The good doctor is still getting used to it. He may be having a difficult time transitioning to a floor of grass and dandelions. Lighten up, my man; you'll appreciate the shaded refuge when summer hits.

Silent jamz

Some few years ago, i had the brilliant idea of creating a stop-motion animation video for a little ditty titled skyscraper; maybe you've heard it. Nothing ever came of such a thing, but check out these sweet gif animations salvaged from the footage.

Mind-blowing, aye?

Listen up...

Getting it together

We picked up some window blinds from the megamart along with some new shoes and broom to replace one that was lost in a battle against a giant mutant bumblebee. This is the kind of action seen around the olde homestead these days. After MJ and i took a gander at those radiant blinds, we thought we might return them in favor of a more cost effective version. I spent the better part of the rest of the morning unsuccessfully attempting to return the blinds to their original box.

We moved on to the kitchen and created a peanut butter jar filled with assorted screws, bolts, nuts, and washers. He seemed lonely so we made him a tiny baby food jar companion filled with nails. They're a mighty cute pair. We think we'll be keeping them around a while.

Whilst baby jane was down the street on a play date, the good doctor enjoyed the solitude by picking dandies in the front lawn.

Serenity now.

She ain't having it
