Jacob took a trip with Dad, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tom to the Como Zoo.

1. I have the best daddy in the whole wide world.

2. Sarah, come on...enough pictures already. We've got animals and butterflies to see.

3. Dad, go very slowly. I am going to catch the butterfly.

mornin joe

i've recently taken to referring to myself as an artist. though not entirely sure where this new ego was conceived, i do have a few ideas. perhaps artist is the new rock star, or president or architect. george costanza wanted to be an architect. 8 year olds think it'd be cool to be el presidente. sixteen year olds revel in the idea of rocking out in front of 10,000 screaming sexpots. but i think the artist is the new architect. the irony is i actually am an architect. but today i am scott the artist. and my art is my gift to the world.

enjoy.

cool struttin

i'm writing this post in blue font because it's entitled "cool struttin" and blue is cool. seems like the hip thing to do these days is copy the playlist from your ipod, convert it to some text file and post it on the web or publish it in a book or magazine or blog and call it art or introduce it in such a way as to allude to the fact that it's a profound enunciation of your inner psyche, like, you know?

so here's my playlist. from my ipod. it's entitled "bit bot". enjoy.

blog birthday

I started this blog today. Blogging is the hip thing these days and I don't want to die without having shared my worthless musings with the rest of the world-or at least those who choose to read them. I'm quickly realizing that this is harder than one would imagine. Courier or Trebuchet? Small or large? Where's the supersize font? I saw an ad for penile enlargement in the Village Voice today. What the hell do they englarge the penis with? air? silicon? It just doesn't make any sense.

Been raining for a week straight now. I'm just waiting for what little actual earth exists in New York City to get so saturated with rain that it actually pukes it all up in a giant geyser of metropolitan sludge. That'd be a sight to see.
