more loltavolini

has this stuff blown up lately or what? I found a whole page of lolbrarians, which I was quite pleased with. The other half of Tavolini was disappointed as no lolasertechnicians have been posted yet. Well, here you go!








Yes, yes and also we have had much luck in our traveling as of late, I wish to show our evil sides to all 2 people who read this blog.







Pure Evil.

back from the big apple

Tavolini has infiltrated our nation's largest city and made it back to the dirty south with expanded knowledge, new and better secrets, and of course...hope. Yes, children, keep your spirits up!








We saw cool street art and found the Tavolini Dream Machine. See below, if you dare!










We climbed steps without a care in the world.






It was truly fantastic. While there, we sent many scintillating text messages to all our cronies who were writhing in jealousy of our extravagant vacation and fast lifestyle.

We went to a gallery opening / Mexican punk show in Chicago during the spring, and this dude was there, with his bluetooth, acting as security. I tell you what--we did not act up AT ALL!!!








I mean, we even got a text from our friendly asian gal, warning us of the extent of his scary security measures...








Will do, my asian friend. Onward!

Beware the Hairy Choke

The many adventures of Artichoke.

All good artichokes are environmentally conscientious, so this one decided to take public transportation to visit Tavolini.

Here is Artichoke waiting for the bus. It was an unusually hue saturated afternoon.





On the bus, Artichoke listed to Reggae Makossa on repeat for the whole 45 minute ride. The he got to the station and was waiting on the train.



Artichoke went to check the view from the station. Smog.



More artichokes need to take public transportation and stop polluting with their cars.

On the way home, he stopped and looked at the bill board. The few, the proud, the Artichoke.


Artichokes are quite patriotic.

Also, Artichoke had to chill at the beauty spot for a minute, and soak in the quaint view of the BP gas station.





Next, it's time to get dressed up with some garlic and draw a warm bath.




Relaxing with a beer is key.






But...beware of the Hairy Choke!!!



Dude, cooks go on and on about how awful and scary this thing is. And you know what? They're right.

Lessons on Painting Safety

Our Asian gal is here today with a text from Samuel L. Jackson, Guru of Paint Safety. First, a word from our sponsors:







And now back to regularly scheduled blogging. So, our Asian goddess of text messaging and general harbinger of all instant information, what does Samuel L. Jackson suggest we do to prepare for painting our old house?







Damn! I'm going to get me some.







Hell yeah.

We live in an old house on the Southeast side of Atlanta. Benefits of living in an old house include beauty, a sense of assuredness that it isn't going to crumble or collapse any time soon (it hasn't thus far, right?) and a never ending project list. This summer, we decided to attack the peeling, cracked paint on the exterior of the house. Scrape scrape scrape, chisel out ancient caulk, pry out bad boards and replace with new. Thank you to our local lumber yard, which (accidentally?) gave us over 100ft of free siding.
