Mallory!

Oh yes, hello there! I didn’t see you there, lurking in the digital front hedges of my bliggitly bloggity home. What’s that you say? You’re here because you would like to see some more lovely pictosnap goodness? Yes? Well, how ’bout you come on out from the bushes, and sit yourself down, because I’ve got some good news for you. Ready for it? Well, here goes: I’ve got some new supersweet samplesnaps to put up, and this time…and you better be ready for this…they are of the SuperFantastic Mallory!

OK! Calm down! You know you’re gonna hyper-ventilate and get all weird if you don’t relax, so sit back and listen to a little story, the story of a day oh so wonderful, that was made even more wonderful by the addition of Mallory to the FunCenter! She came down here not for our prize winning chili, oh no, she stopped on by for some SeniorSnaps! And you want to know what…she got some! Yepper! I bet you were thinking that we were going to say that we told her we were out of them, and that she would have to come back again, but alas…we did no such thing!

Ahh shucks, our time with Mallory was all too short & sweet (my nickname during my Sophmore year of high school, fyi), but we’ll always have these samplesnaps just a few words below to remind us of the pictoriffic goodness that was our time together! MuchLove to Mallory for giving some of her sweet & prescious (my nickname during my Junior year of high school, iyf) time to us, and to all of my good peeps of blog getting ready to take on another day – Enjoy!

Brittanie!

Dig, now, my children, for I’m about to get all crazy with the words, and this time it’s not just to rant about the current state of affairs. Now, even though it would be sweet to rant about the current state of affairs, I must admit that I have no clue what the year is any more. The only thing I know is Otis & James. The sun rises when we open, and sets when we close, as far as I’m concerned, and that’s a fact Jack. I have no idea who Jack is, but if I did I would tell him that I’m not about to rant about anything other than the totally and sweetlyawesome time we had working with new friend to the ever benevolent Otis & James Empire of Love, none other than the most wonderful Brittanie!

Now hear this! If I’m gonna rant, it’s going to be how wonderous, how fantiastical, and how magical our time with Brittanie was. I’m not going to rant about anything else, because this bliggitlyblog is not about sports, or politics, or any of that dumb stuff…oh no…this blog is about more important things. Like looking good, and having good pictosnaps taken at FunCenter! In fact, that’s probably more important than all of those other dumb things combined!

So, if you take that into consideration, and then add in just how wonderful and equally as important Brittanie is, than you can truly see just how much I should be ranting and raving! HipHop…Haroooooo! Folks, I don’t know if you realize this, but I might have truly lost my mind typing these words, so I’m going to stop now and say thank you to Brittanie for stopping down to FunCenter so Fun, and to all of my good people out there in the land of blog hoping and wishing and waiting that there would be just one more post before you lay your weary heads down – Enjoy!

Alicia!

The Otis & James Senior Caravan of Love (in no way affiliated with the Minot Commission on Aging) kept right on a-rollin’ and a-tumblin’ through the streets of downtown and beyond (in no way affiliated with Buzz Lightyear), and this time the doors of Caravan (the FunCenter is actually a 1989 Dodge Caravan) slowed down and picked up the one and only Alicia for some deadsweet seniorpictosnaps!

Wahooo Yippeeeee Yowza! Alicia came to FunCenter and tore it up, all crazy-like. Now, after reading that, I’m sure you might be thinking that she came here and quite literally tore the studio up like some sort of a person on a rampage (hulk-like, if you will), but I assure you, at no point did she flip over a desk, throw a laptop against the wall, or even hurl a chair through a pane of glass.

No, instead of actually destroying the studio, she destroyed our minds with how awesome she was to work with! Yes! Now you can see why I used ‘waho, yippee and yowza’ were the only words I could think of, because my mind was officially blown by here awesomeosity, and I’ve pretty much been rendered capable of only using words like that to convey my message. I have no idea that any of that meant. I think it’s time for the next paragraph.

Well, there’s no sense in wasting any more of all y’all’s sweet & valuable time with any more of these silly words, and I do declare it shall be the time that we give thanks to Alicia for being so wonderful, give MuchLove to one and all, and to my good citizens of blog sitting all cozy in your warm homes – Enjoy!

Ashlee!

Oh hello there, my good people of blog! I come to you on this evening so fine (you know, I guess most of you aren’t really sitting there in front of your interweb machines 24 hours a day just waiting for new bloggers to go up ((and, for those of you that really want to know, bloggers is what we in the biz of o&j call these thangs…the more you know, mmmmm hmmm)), well, some of you are, and you know who you are – the ultimate soldiers in the Otis & James army, Defenders of the Faith) with some sweet and lovely samplesnaps from the everfriendly (not a word, but I’m making it one) Ashlee!

There was this day, see, not so long ago, see [ed. What’s the dilly-yo with the James Cagney thing?], when the doors of the FunCenter opened up, and into it sprang (it’s a word) Ashlee for some sweetlysweet seniorsnaps! The time whizzed on by, and the results were…well…I could go on and on and on with all sorts of words trying to describe it, but me thinks it would be better just to forget these words, and let the sample snaps tell you what the results were (hint: awesome!)

With that, I bid you adieu (rhymes), I give my good peeps of blog thanks for tuning in, I give MuchLove to Ashlee for stopping down for the snaps, and to everyone else out there – Enjoy!

Last Great Summer…Heck Yes.

And now, the moment you’ve been waiting for. Well, if you haven’t been waiting for it, you should have been, because it’s time for us to give some sweet & mellow (that kind of sounds like some sort of a sugar substitute, or a form of R&B ((rascals & badgers, to those of you that didn’t know)), or a somewhat lewd dance in which the participant needs to lock eye contact in order to correctly initiate that ‘sweet & mellow’…ok…I have no idea that that means, and now back to your regular words) [ed. Seriously, what the flip, man?] love to new superbuddies to o&j, Last Great Summer!

Now, however, is not the time for me to go all crazylike with the words, as we need to get to the goods. Gotta give the love to Last Great Summer (they’re a band, by the way ((I would have used ‘btw’, but I know that would have caused your brains to explode)), and a wonderful band at that!), and to all my good citizens of blogville blissfully unaware that I am awake typing these words in the middle of the night – Enjoy!

Chadwyn, Jonathon & Rexford. Straight up.

Oh well, hello there my good friends of bliggityblog! Again, no worries, as I know you have been thinking that I have forgotten about you. I assure you, dear friends, that I have not! As proof of this, I come to you on this evening so late (or morning so early…or even mid day so warm ((that would be if I was in Australia writing this, and I might be, at least mentally…do they still throw shrimps on the barbie?)), or whatever you would like to call it…I need to get out of these parentheses…ok…here we go) with some supersweet totally righteous ultimately tough samplesnaps of some fine gents that stopped by the FunCenter not so long ago.

None other than good friends of Otis & James, Chad, Jonnie & Rex blasted on in and worked the camera for all it was worth. Seriously, they were phenom (for you drips out there, that’s hip speak for ‘phenomenal’…look it up if you don’t believe me). They showed us how it was done, and they left us wanting more. I know you’re sitting there in your happy homes of blog right now thinking, ‘these guys look sort of familiar…’, and if so, it’s probably because you’ve had the super good fortune of seeing them in action at their non-modeling job, an o&j perennial fav – 10 North Main!

Even though it’s North Side (don’t even get me started on the Northside/Southside rivalry), we still have love for these dudes, and their fabulous restaurant. We used to be their neighbor, and I think – make that I hope that through this friendship, we will show the others on Main Street that there is still hope for a truce in this rough and tumble rivalry. But enough of the hippydippy talk, let’s get to the good part. The part where I tell you that you should really stop by 10 if you haven’t already. Fine people work there, and the result is always a wonderful time – good food, nice drinks!

Ahh yes, now comes the part when I thank these sweet dudes for giving us a little bit of their prescious time, and for all of my peeps tucked into their warm beds as I type this – Enjoy!
