scott potluck

Fun potluck at Scott's last night. Sadly, Parki wasn't able to make it, but Reid and Luisa were there as well as Scott's sister, Heather.

My Moroccan Chicken turned out pretty well even though the sauce on the pan burnt in the oven and set off Scott's fire alarm (!).





After dinner, we watched some homemade claymation-type of movies that Scott had done when he was a little kid. Wow, I was impressed! I liked the first one the best, where a big clay ball with eyes was being bugged by four little guys. It finally ate the little guys but got indigestion, spewed them out, and in revenge they ate him. The whole thing was animated to the tune of the "Sugarplum Fairy". :-)

The second film was about a (toy) plane that crashed and caught fire (plasticine flames). The pilot was rushed to a clay hospital. A bus crashed and caught fire. At this point, Scott said he started experimenting with setting fire to lighter fluid for flames instead of using clay. He obviously was really entranced by this because the last half of the film was mostly of various objects in his basement being set on fire (the toy bus, the pilot, etc.).

I have to wonder if his parents ever saw this footage. :-)





I was also super-impressed by how far Scott has gotten in his guitar playing! He's only had the thing for two weeks, after all. He already knows nearly 20 chords (including a barre chord!) and how to fingerpick. Suburban Curtains may be ready to go on tour sooner than later.

Having brunch with Parki, Alison & Jeff today, then finishing off my current bit for the Michelle short story collab.

Hope you're all having a good weekend!
