Flickr.

Wow.

If you don't know what's going on at www.flickr.com... You should. It took me a while to really delve into it and truly grasp the power of Flickr.. But now that I have, I am powerless to fight it. Flickr has won me over. I think I owe this entirely to Kris Bell, who hooked me up with a Pro account, as he had two to give away as part of Flickr's promotion for people who had already shelled out the measly $24.95 it takes to become a Pro member. This entitled me to Unlimited storage space for my photos (UNLIMITED!), 20gb (!) of upload bandwidth a month, and several other perks that you don't quite get with a free account. But even if you can't scrap up 25$ of change underneath your car seats, the free accounts are just as good for browsing, finding favorites, and making friends.

If you aren't yet convinced that flickr is the greatest thing since cheez whiz, look at these collective group projects that ANYONE can participate in!

Flapface!

Jumping!

Transparent Monitors!

Funny Faces!


So I direct you to my photos, here, and seeing as the main purpose (despite rare updates) of this site was to share pictures, I can't see that I'll be using it for that very often, as flickr is FAR superior when it comes to all that.

So I bid you adieu, and may we meet again in the flickr universe.

This is out of control.

So if i watch a movie a day... for a year... And I add a movie every other day... I don't know how to cure this problem.

If anyone wants to have a movie marathon let me know...

Bathroom remodel.

For anyone that hasn't endured being inside my house in the last three months, we are currently undergoing a bathroom remodel. We have the plans. We have the money. We have the guts. We have the pictures.

Also: This is amazing.

February is gone.

I am twenty three. It's abnormally sunny. I have a licensed employer. And my camera's battery charger has been replaced, thank Jeebus.

More on that later.

My favorite type of day is one that is filled with both sunshine and rain. When the sky is black and blue. When everything glistens with brilliant clarity. So that when you slip and fall on the sidewalk, at least you have a pretty view.

Family Photos.

My family is goofy.

They all know that when I say this, it is not in the least bit insulting. In fact, when being referenced using that word in the past, family members have replied with oversized grins, silly hats, and many a crazy face.

So when we all get together, and there is sugar involved -- and there usually is -- it never fails that someone gets on the runway.

Here is the latest from Kevin Klein.

Addiction.

My christmas present to Danny was a game that I had played a few times before. I enjoyed it in those few occasions, but I had no idea that it would be the hit that it has become. Last night we played four games back to back. Each game took approximately an hour, and at the end of the fourth we looked at the clock to find out it was four in the morning. At which point we decided to play one last game. So we all went to bed around six a.m.

After sleep ridden with dreams of dice and sheep and brick, I awoke to Kendall asking me if I was too busy to play another game. So we played again.

This, my friends, is a problem. We played four more games today, changing different scenarios, goals, and rules. The variations are endless. (And we want the expansion packs desperately.)

I present to you: Settlers... In poorly lit photo form.
