hello from brazil!
photos will come later.
gio and i had a long series of flights to get here but everything went well---- except for the half dozen screaming children on the last flight from sao paulo - but the flight attendance were super great and gave gio xtra peanuts: that is right peanuts on an airplane who would have thought....
we ve been here for three days now and we re having a wonderful time.
we leave in a few minutes to drive four to five hours north west to the town of gio s grandmother- lages
then we leave on tuesday for the beach until the second of jan.
best wishes to all
jena
ps sorry about the punct. i am typing on a portugese keyboard... it s strange.

holy moley
well, a year has passed since pondpatrol.com started
september 06 is its anniversary.
in the past few weeks we've hung the photo show at st.marks, gio has been interview by the onion, 5280, and the westword interviewed both of us (i'm the editor/semstres for pp. oh yea and "driver")
last nite was the closing party for the art show; which has sold pretty darn well.
for the party three bands played.
my favorite - porlolo was up first,then the josh novak, and followed by the greatest hits band.
japanimplosion was on site silkscreening t-shirt with a pondpatrol design that they came up with.
over all the nite was a sucess.
this weeks episode of pp is the party review.
and photos that carmela took.
if you'd like to see the interview in westword (for you that aren't from d-town its the city paper)

another day off
most of our days off and little trips out of town as of the last year are really pondpatrol missions.
this is a great situation most of the time, and today was one of those days. a perfect compromise.
we headed towards boulder late this morning to go to eldorado springs area - we ended up a few miles east of 90.
we hiked up half a mile or so and found the area gio was hoping for - a clearing that looked out onto the foothills in the background.
in the moment of shooting p.p. i hardly notice the time go by... but i did get a little crispy today!
we were near a main path that a lot of boulder business lunch time walkers seem to frequent. lots of comments were made.
two women walked by - the comment was "oh look at them playing with their dolls!"
i would like to officially say that they are gio's dolls - he just lets me play with them when he's around!
ok....if you look real closely you can see the ants from the ant hill that gio parked the dolls on top of crawling all over the boots...... not to long later the ants were all over these poor boys!
after two and a half hours in the sun we were ready for the second half of the day!
we weren't sure if we were going to venture over to eldorado springs pool or to boulder creek - but we came prepared with tubes for floating!
we ended up at boulder creek, we floated for a little more than an hour. we didn't do the rapids float due to the cold water and it's effects on o brasilerio. but floating in the tube with the sun shining down on us - me soaking in the rays - gio staring at fishys & shiny things was perfect!
last stop in boulder? but of course the hot dog stand that has veggie chicago dogs!
all in all a great day off!

what do i love????
the grass under the mulberry tree in our front yard was beautiful on our wedding day.....
but after the day it never came back as well....... gio and i decieded - with the idea bursting in my head - to build a sunken patio where the grass once stood.
this sounded beautilul.
i could see it in my head....
i just didn't see where to put all the earth that we were taking out!
it actually only took a few hours over a couple of day.
gio and sam traded helping with me and then we had the last push of all three of us and we were done!
i love sam. i love gio more.
sam has been gone for a few weeks now. i feel lonely on sunday with out him. i aslo feel at a loss for my scarry movie buddy.
i want to go see the omen (please no comments from the peanut gallery) but rebecca v. has been in italy and sam's been at feral fruits........oh where oh where ............
as for what i have been up to!
our first anniversary was june 9th!
gio and i went back to our honeymoon spot in the san luis valley that we love!
we rented a cabin that had a kichenette.
we lounged together, had a beautiful full moon
okay not that one!
this is one of gio's many pondpatrol injuries - he sat on a catus.....
and the last day we spent sometime in the morning going for a walk and shooting pondpatrol episode 40.
we had such a relaxing romatic time together, as you can tell by the lack of pants!
i love valley view!
the garden is coming along. i planted some holly and witches broom infront of the fence under the mulberry. i still desire ferns there as well..... someone i know has a bunch and said they' d donate some to my cause.... very lovelllllyy!!!
the pond has changed shaped, i love it more now as well!
not that you can see it but my dad's bench now sits to the north of the pond and has the best view in the house!
mr.seven
as cute as ever! love him too.
look at my lavenders!!!!!!!!!! love love love!
last year mr.balistreri sold me a merlot and cabernet grape plants. they are getting bigger every day! i am tranning them to go around the post for the sun shade. hopefully in the next few years they'll grow over to the dinning area and shade us during lunch!
i first planned this area to be the herb box but more flowers from last year have popped out. to my surprise the irish bells(the green flowers) are prolific....i am spreading them around the yard in hopes of them semi taking over. i remember they stick around till fall very well!
and here are my first tomatoes of the seaon coming out. and once again the russian heirloom tomates produce the best.

happy birthday to mom and aunt dee dee
time does fly.
today is aunt dee dee and my moms birthday
for sams spring break gio, sam and i went to the black hills of south dakota to hang for a few days..... i know why south dakota? well. we only wanted to travel for six hours - at first we were going to go to santa fe but the town was booked up with spring breaker! and it was still to cold at nite for camping.
we then thought about what is six hour in another direction? the black hills. home of bad dinning and bad thrift stores.
the whole trip was more a pilgrimage for pond patrol than anything (ofcourse a good time for the three of us!)
sam moves away in june so this might be the last trip i take with him!
another ditcher to denver is nick hoppman. i guess he wanted a super fresh start because he asked me to cut his beautiful hair off! i was very reluctant to do what he asked until he told me that he'd asked harlan and zac but they told him to ask me. i felt let off the hook and i can say it slightly proud that no one thought i'd mess it up to much!
ok here it goes.....
oh, and by the way nils cut his all off not to long after nick...something about a hot neck.
the last ubisubi show..... super cool
sven's band - a certain urgency
cory's band - sandusky.
they sound is super cool. they're space cowboy music. (maureen try it you'll like it...it will make you feel good feel good)
live they do alot more than is on the album.......you can download there new album for free at:
http://www.myspace.com/sanduskycomusic
ok, so i got home one day and this is what i saw out of my window.....any guesses? because i don't know..... gio has dub it "dico cowboy"
my friend brendan is an owner in a film company - incite films
he told me about a job in the industry that i didn't know about "craft service". it's no where near glamerous but it pay well for a part time gig. so i've done two commercials for him so far......here's the set of the second commercial day two site two.
