Filler 31

Lacking other evidence, some might imagine that Stairs had been abducted by aliens and whisked off to join the Choir Invisible. Well, behold other evidence:

the agony and the ecstasy

Trust me, Allie-fans, the boy is almost obscenely alive and well. I can't pretend to know whether he'll be back in lowly Blogland anytime soon, but don't mourn his absence meanwhile. Some (rare, privileged) people do have lives, you know :)

Fly, my pretties! Fly!

Also shot last Saturday, at Jo and John's six-months-late wedding party, was hottie* Warrick, trampoline coach extraordinaire, seen here with relatively-new bouncer KT:

Yes, yes, I know he was supposed to be relocating to California ages ago. He still is; they just don't make it easy. Despite American parentage (dude, check the spelling!) and internationally-desirable cutting-edge graphics programming skills (his published articles have titles like "GPU Shadow Volume Construction for Nonclosed Meshes" for crying out loud!), the US government aren't about to let any old Tom, Dick or Warrick go to work there in this post-9/11 age; not without jumping through a lot of idiotic hoops, anyway.

As it happens, Warrick has the perfect background for hoop-jumping. But, in the meantime, some of us are very happy to have him around awhile longer. Bureaucracy can sometimes have an upside...

How do we know it's not an impostor sent by the aliens to take his place?
