July 16th is the only day in the entire year for which I couldn’t find a wacky holiday or celestial event.
Its utter vacuity is at once mocking of my inadequacy, and lonely; longing for meaning amid its more interesting neighbors. I couldn’t even make it Nothing Day. January 16th already has that honor.
So there it sits, in the middle of the month, staring blankly at me.
What do you want from me, July 16th? I tried to make you relevant or irreverent, but there was nothing I could do! STOP STARING AT ME! I MEAN IT! STOP IT!!
OK, deep breaths… I’m all right. Whew!
I guess I shouldn’t read “The Tell-Tale Heart” before bed, huh?
July’s pictures in my iPhoto calendar are pretty self-explanatory (and appropriate for posting today, to boot).
Previously:
The weird days of June.
June is next up in my iPhoto calendar.
Here we have oven-crisp bacon, Uno’s pizza with loads of extra cheese added (and a margarita in a cactus glass in the background), and a bowl of Breyer’s Rocky Road ice cream with banana slices and microwaved Jif Natural peanut butter topping.
The bizarre holidays of May.
The month of May in my iPhoto calendar is a few of the hot-air ballons that pass by the house. I’m apparently on a balloon throughway.
The burner that makes the hot air can be seen in the first picture up close on the ground, and in the second picture in-flight.
And the days of April, replete with weird holidays.
The month of April on my iPhoto calendar is occupied by the adorable and quite awesome Guille reenacting Cameron’s Art Institute of Chicago scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off during our visit to the museum at last April’s CHSH.
The wacky holidays of March, per my iPhoto calendar.
We’re up to March in my iPhoto calendar.
Right when I took the picture of the very tall beer, the bartender went by and grabbed the first beer’s empty glass and produced the light streaks you see to the left.
Then there are my favorite margarita ingredients, with everything else in the picture made monochrome.
And finally, I’m crossing the streams by adding (freezer-stored) tequila to my Shamrock Shake® instead of the traditional whisky. Let’s not get into the wisdom of having a McDonald’s shake in the first place…
In my continuing series on this year’s iPhoto calendar, here is February, complete with wacky holidays.

Next up from my iPhoto calendar is February.
That’s a cornbread-mix waffle with real maple syrup, chicken nachos, and a dark chocolate Kit Kat dunked in Jif Natural peanut butter.
Hungry yet?
Continuing my iPhoto-made calendar posts, here is the month of January with silly (but real) holidays.
I used the Monologous font I got during the Comicraft New Year’s Day sale.
You’ll be glad to know that the Internet is well-represented at the calendar store. Hi Derek!
They also had cute kitty calendars, but alas, no bacon calendars.
Also also: 75% off!
