  1. Back Home April 30, 2006

    We’re back. Family and friends were visited, many photos were taken, fun was had. I’m starting to get photos uploaded to Flickr, though so far I’ve just taken care of Friday’s shots. The rest will have to wait ‘til I’m home from school tomorrow.

    ‘Some things shouldn’t be shared,’ she explained. ‘The Winnie the Pooh theme is one. It’s a lot like syphilis.’

  5. A bit of a pickle… April 27, 2006

    …it was decided that, since these little tasty snacks are not only obviously phallic, but also can apparently be used as currency for the barter of sexual favors, Xebeth was going to start a new anti-pickle group. Parents Against Pickles. PAP.

    Well, the computer lives — though we’re definitely dealing with a near-total case of amnesia.

  8. Potbellied Pig Monster April 23, 2006

    While wandering around NSCC before class one morning last week, I took this picture of an interesting looking tree trunk. Once home, both Prairie and I saw a ‘potbellied pig monster’ in the contours of the trunk.

  10. FBiPod? April 22, 2006

  11. Storybook Forest April 21, 2006

    What actually happened here was that I’d forgotten to switch my white balance away from a custom setting for indoors. However, I actually like the final effect — the gold tones give this an old-timey, almost storybook look to my eye.

  13. Birthday Wishes April 20, 2006

    Back in March of ‘03, I stumbled across a series of discs from Sony called the ‘Soundtrack for a Century’. Over time I’ve collected eight out of the eleven pieces of the series, and any (or all) of these last three would be greatly appreciated.

  17. Back in 1973… April 19, 2006

    The Movie Timeline is the history of everything, taken from one simple premise: that everything you see in the movies is true - the real mixes with the fictitious, so long as it’s reported in a movie somewhere…

  19. Norwescon 29 Photo Extravaganza April 17, 2006

    Well, not only did I survive my first Norwescon, but I did it camera in hand. And, since I’m a complete and total photo whore, there’s a few pictures to be seen.

  20. Off at Norwescon April 15, 2006

    I’m spending the weekend at Norwescon, so I’ve already missed my one-photo-a-day posting goal. Heh. No big surprise. Here’s one from yesterday at the con, though…

  24. Mystery Flower April 11, 2006

    Since I’m not babbling much at the moment, I figure I can at least (try to) post a picture a night before I go to bed. We’ll see how long I manage to do this regularly. ;)
