Our friend Shannon is an artist. She also happens to be an excellent cook and a new mother. Recently, she's been into making small little sculptures (you might recall she made a similar thing for me a few years ago for Christmas), and now that she's blogging we can all finally follow along with her artistic—and life—adventures. I've been asking Shannon to start a weblog for years and she finally did it: Penultimate Pea.

Hopefully in the near future she'll start selling stuff, because it's all really fantastic and I'm sure plenty of people would love to get their hands on it.

Busy Friday (originally uploaded by garrettmurray)

My friend Kevin was in town for the weekend from Chicago and he had VIP tickets to Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Later that night Katia, Shawn, Matt and I went to see The Decemberists at Hammerstein Ballroom. Non-stop fun from 3PM to midnight.

Over the weekend, we had a small party for my birthday. For a few hours before the party, I had a few people over early to play XBOX 360, which was a ton of fun. We played Fight Night Round 3, bashing each other in the face while yelling and screaming because of the ultra-realistic boxing graphics, and then some Call of Duty 2 (Goldeneye-style four-player split-screen Allied versus Axis action) and it was loads of fun. Truly the official christening of my XBOX 360.

Once everyone else arrived, we turned to drinking, eating and, eventually, playing some pictionary. I had a fun time, and it seems like everyone else did as well. The night ended with a lengthy discussion on current trends popular music and everyone scraping the bottom of the seven-layer dip container.

We bought way too much alcohol, so Katia will be drinking forty beers a day for the next month to get rid of it. You can see a few pictures from the party on Flickr.
