08/12/06 - Lots of origami, Mel's car breaks down, shaving Mo, and generally just goofing off in RI

Mel hugs the completed buckyball	Hmm, this pose seems familiar..	270 PHiZZ units
Not bad lighting..	I'm glad I decided to use some color	A closeup
It's pretty sturdy	With the Coke bottle for scale	A little overexposed..
We decided to play catch with it!	Careful guys!	Mel has turned into some sort of origami zombie!!
Trying to strike a pose while it's in the air..	Oops, too late	Mel can make things float
Mel hides behind her teddy bear	Watching TV	Can you tell they're related?
I had some extra pieces so I made an origami shoe	The katamari, before spikes	Another angle of the spikeless icosahedron
Mo!	A huge inflatable dinosaur	Bailey found a notebook
Bailey pose!	"I love studying!!"	Mel checks out the whiteboard section
I forgot to take after pics, but whatever. Before haircut, hair down, front	Before haircut, hair down, side	Before haircur, hair down, back
Before haircut, hair up, front	Before haircut, hair up, side	Before haircut, hair up, back
Our gross order on the computer	Behold... the quadruple bacon cheeseburger	Mel fears it
The quad stacker, half gone	Mel's car is broken	Of course..
Typical	Mel seems somewhat... not surprised	Truly the king of burgers..
The one is the ad looks way better!!	Waiting for someone to help us out	Heyyy Mel
Waiting for Margaret	Is she over there? ...no.	Mel is not amused
Margaret's here!	Margaret will wait with us	Mel's parents arrive
Her dad seems to pleased	Margaret has some jumper cables!	Let's just stand around
Time to open the hood?	Hmmm	Yes, time to open the hood
Nothing looks really bad..	Or does it? I have no idea	Mel's dad tries to get his hood open
The hinge for the hood	It's open!	Mel's battery. Note the pieces of mouse nests
The battery again	Under the van's hood	Hooking up cables
Don't touch them together!	All hooked up	Uhohes, the cars are too far apart
Mel and Margaret were very helpful	Derrick, a mechanic, happened to be passing and helped us out	Hooking up the cables again
Caaables	Caaaables	Connected at last
Derrick helps Mel try to start the car	Mel and Margaret hung out in the car	Derrick's nametag
Mel's mom checks out the engine	Mel's dad is having a blast	Calling AAA
We took up a lot of spaces at Burger King	AAA is going to come and tow it!	Waiting for the tow truck
Hanging out	Standing around	Mel is used to this kind of stuff
Margaret with her cables	Cables. Serious business.	Writing contact information
The car will be towed to his garage	Mel's dad stands nearby	Mel does a dance
Everyone's having a blast	Moving stuff to the van	This guy had car troubles too!
The tow truck is here!	Mel's back	Talking to the tow truck guy
Mel through out some trash	The tow truck	I keep accidentally typing "toe struck"
It's a party!	Lining it up...	The claw thing comes down
All lined up!	Gotcha	Mel watches the car get towed away
Two katamaris in my case	Pretty much the same picture..	I kept some paper behind them
Turkeys in Mel's yard!!	I went outside to get a clearer image but they rand away	Spikes for Topaz's katamari
The pre-spiked katamari	"TV is fun... nuh."	"Eh?"
Topaz's katamari!	A closeup	Tadaaa
Time to shave Mo	Mo doesn't know how to feel about this	Snip snip snip
Gross!	Mo has so much fur	He was just hanging limp
Lots of Mo fur	Bailey wanted to make a pillow	Bailey holds him down in case he freaks out
Bailey is having fuuuhhnnn	Snip snip snip	Mo didn't really care
He struggled a little, but not really	Shaving Mo...	Hold him down...
Mo is sick of this game	Snip snips snip	Mo's stupid head
Gross! Cat dandruff!	We almost gave him a bath	Mel is a nice person
Pretty day	A nice looking road	More nice clouds
A bridge	Empire chinese buffet! Good stuff!	We ended up paying with a bunch of ones
Bailey gets her head pulled off	Mel gets struck with some sort of photon torpedo	Bailey is in no mood for pictures
Empire!	I guess they're always open since they can't change the sign	Whaaaa?
Bailey in the back	Katamari cousins!!	So many cousins!
They're eating that baby!!	I took this by accident but it looks pretty cool	This is how we're rolling up the millino roses
Mo is all pakced and ready to go	You can't come Mo	Mo wants to come :(
Bailey's gross lens	Wiki!!	Everyone loves Wikiw
Wiki sandwich?	Wiki is escaping!	Chill out Wiki
He's gotten a lot bigger	Wiiiikkkiiii	Hello WIki!
Old people make good drivers...	Look at him go	Another road
Driving driving driving	A big X in the sky! Neat contrails	Wow!!
H E L P me... make...this sign	Doughnut Inn II, the sequel	A weird t-shirt stand
This is how I move my stuff, in trash bags	Mel has replaced Elizabeth Rogers as the new RA	Mel has her own TV show!
Mel's new room!	Whooo	The view from Mel's window
The view, with exposure set for clouds	You can see people in Maywood...	..and some goo coming off Dana
Mel's window seat but something's missing..	There we go, the seat is complete	Unpacking
No bed frames are necessary	I like how Mel stores her detergent	Making the bed
Tadaaa
The car hooked up to the truck
Bye car
