My Leaking Closet

Every time it rains, it rains...in my closet!

 Here are some pictures of my chronically leaking closet.  Today, a foot-square(ish) chunk of the ceiling fell in!

TheMe and my old college buddy Stew as some dude from "Venture Bros." I'm sorry--I never watch that show :\

He is pretty intimidating, though, isn't he? His flames actually lit up, btw. :)

Here's a better shot of TheWife and I on Halloween night. Isn't my mask spooky? The eyes will actually follow you around! :P

I did get quite a few more reactions from my mask than I expected. No one I didn't already know recognized it, but people thought it was unique and therefore cool :)

ThePete & Siskita: on Our Way to Halloween

TheUs on the A train heading downtown. Hey cool! It's 60 degrees out! We won't freeze! (Until later, that is...)

I snapped this on my way to catch a train (I'm SO New Yorky!).

That's a table set up by Scientology recruiters--right in front of GIANT Dexter billboards in the 42nd St subway station. Oddly ironic placing an alleged religious recruitment table in front of ads for a TV show about a serial killer. I'm thinking that's a serious mixed message.

Is this not one of the more impressive façades you've ever seen on a
train station?

I've been to New York City a couple dozen times during my life and I
don't think I've ever seen the outside of it before today. Damn impressive.

Too bad no one designs buildings like this anymore.
