What is this hotbed of lust and intrigue?! You—my handsome and intelligent new friend—have discovered Noodles and Beef: my vanity blog and dumping ground for all my creative work. That includes my photo projects, doodles, design junk and web stuff. Sometimes I answer questions (you can ask here) and talk about my Body Dysmorphia That’s the short version. You should check out my featured posts and (if you like what you see) you should follow my blog. I’ve got an RSS feed, email, twitter and even Facebook (if that’s more your speed). Okay, GREAT. But who are you? My name is Dylan, but around here I go by “Noodles and Beef.” I’m twenty-something, gay, live in San Francisco, and do web design/development for a living. Anyway. I hope you enjoy my piece of the internet. Thanks for reading!

I instructed him to be completely secretive and evade my detection, then gave a detailed itinerary of when and where I would be on my lunch break.<br/><br/> He did a very good job. I thought he had missed our rendezvous, but his stealthiness returned some excellent candid photos. Hurray!<br/><br/> Read the posting here:<br/><a href="http://www.taskrabbit.com/tasks/personal-paparazzi-needed" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.taskrabbit.com/tasks/personal-paparazzi-needed">www.taskrabbit.com/tasks/personal-paparazzi-needed</a></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekigyuu/6780828600/in/set-72157629446999841/" title="IMG_7127"><img alt="IMG_7127" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7069/6780828600_3f0152d32d_m.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekigyuu/6926946763/in/set-72157629446999841/" title="IMG_7134"><img alt="IMG_7134" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7047/6926946763_2013a3f6cf_m.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekigyuu/6780828292/in/set-72157629446999841/" title="IMG_7140"><img alt="IMG_7140" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7193/6780828292_69088a0e2f_m.jpg"/></a></p>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/18213533536http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/18213533536Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:26:00 -0800365vanity<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzu4brE8py1qbbjkro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekigyuu/6922643499/" title="365/53 Business Party">365/53 Business Party</a> on Flickr.</p><p><i>Via Flickr:</i><br/> Another business party at the new job means another chance to wear my sports coat.<br/><br/> This time my entire shirt is a POWER ACCENT. </p>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/18120947857http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/18120947857Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:19:02 -0800365vanity<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq4z7lCrG1qbbjkro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekigyuu/6913928203/" title="365/50 This face">365/49 This face</a> on Flickr.</p> <p><em>Via Flickr:</em><br/> Trying out the wares at Mr S.</p>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/17991510021http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/17991510021Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:42:00 -0800365vanity<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzpbjuixn11qbbjkro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>365/50</p> <p>Out of Order, sorry.

I don’t take care of them, walk all over them, and they’re falling apart from years of severe athletes foot. The creases under my toes often split and bleed.
