Andrew Schubert: Recording Engineer

I think I’ve mentioned this before…. But Andrew doesn’t sleep as much as normal people.

My default with no alarm is about 8.5 hours each night. Andrew’s is 5 or 6 hours each night.

Needless to say, he spends a lot of time awake, alone, watching movies in the living room.

But in the [...]

Andrew’s Halloween costume

Saturday night Andrew went to a costume-concert … Whatever that is.

He spent a bit of time Saturday trying to come up with a last minute costume – buying white thrift store women’s jeans that were about 3 sizes too big and an Elvira-type wig. Yes, really.

His plan was to be Andrew W.K. [...]

Andrew-isms

Ok, honestly, Andrew is the funniest person in my life …. Here are some real gems that came out of his mouth in the last few months….

Guilty Pleasure: Ghost Adventures

 I think you can tell from this photo why watching Ghost Adventures is such a guilty pleasure – instead of a perfectly acceptable TV show to like

Of course, I’m kidding – you shouldn’t judge a show (or the people on it) by their appearance. … But that doesn’t make [...]

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

AWKWARD

eating a big bowl of watermelon for lunch every day for a month. And then learning how much sugar I just ate. telling a waiter I could totally tell he was a theater-person, and him interpreting that as me calling him gay at the day job, eating 1/2 a cupcake because they’re so [...]

Andrew’s 30th birthday present

Andrew got his first tattoo when he was just 18 or 19 …. and then got a several in a relatively short period of time….

He ran out of money, basically, but then got his anchor tattoo (in the photo below) for an engagement gift, and his wedding ring tattoo’d on later that year.

Summer Reading Pledge update

My original goal was 5 books in 3 months (June 1 to Sept 1 2011)

Easy.

So I upped it to 15 books in 3 months …. and hit 14.5.

SO CLOSE!

I could have done it if I hadn’t picked such long books ….

The first half of books read summer 2011

HP 7.2

Well….

I suppose the tagline is right: It all ends.

It’s over.

The Harry Potter worldwide cultural phenomenon no longer has future events we can all look forward to and experience together.

I know I sound melodramatic – I know.

But (really) I do believe that this whole 10+ year Harry Potter experience [...]

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Awkward horsing around with Andrew, trying to push him away with my feet and accidentally kicking him hard in the side. So hard that he was sore for DAYS afterward…. .oops! Still having zits at almost 30 years old. ANNOYING! falling HARD down 4 steps in front of God and all the world [...]
