curtains

I've finally figured out how to make images larger on Blogger. I spent all of yesterday playing with html in order to make Sara's blog look right with larger pictures. If you used that link, you probably noticed that I'm still working on it. Anyhow... :)

The rain was hitting my window last night and I thought - what if I tried taking pictures? This is what I came up with... The only editing I did to them are their colors. :)

[ this was taken using a long shutter speed, the rest were taken with a flash ]

i put some new shoes on

I bought these cute shoes after Christmas. =] They are biodegradable and eco-friendly!

mist

Once upon a time
Yesterday was foggy
Caroline had a thought
And took a picture of the mist
This is what it looked like
And they lived happily ever after
The end.

back in business

Hello, again! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday; I certainly did. (The semi-colon is my new favorite grammatical device!)

It's been awfully cloudy, gray and cold (well, cold in the house), but today I picked some stalks of... I can't remember what they are called! I put them in an old beer can and it made my day a little brighter. :)








And that is a feather. :D Thank you, L&E, for rescuing the adorable little beer can from the lake - or mud hole.

All in good time, I suppose... XD

star trek: the next obsession

Hello, Bonjour, Ciao, Hallo, 'Ello, *waves*

I would like to dedicate this post to Christina, because she has been so absolutely lovely as to lend us her seasons of Star Trek: the Next Generation. Star Trek was huge in my family when I was a babe, Mother apparently bribed my brothers with Star Trek reruns - but alas, I was too young to actually appreciate it. I just remember being excited when the "Picard and Data" show came on, because, as far as my silly memory can remember, Star Trek: The Voyager was more likely to air than TNG.



So, thank you very much, Christina, for letting us borrow the show! We - or, at least, I - am enjoying them very much. Data is, and I suspect he forever will be, my favorite character. I adoooore him and his pasty eyebrows. The things that they thought were acceptably believable back in the day... it's hilarious. I can't think of a single reason that Data can't have regular eyebrows. He has regular hair! :D

For those sad, Data-deficient readers who don't know who the heck Data is besides a pasty, pallid man with funny sideburns who is alternately dressed as Sherlock Holmes and a Starfleet officer... Data is an android (human robot), the only one of his kind. He is extremely intelligent and is constantly learning. More than anything, he wants to be human, and so he tries to learn and act as human as possible, but convinced that he is unable to feel emotion, he falls short a great deal of the time. Anyway, he's fantastic.
















<3 Data and <3 Christina. :)

the sniffles

Hi there!

Yesterday I rearranged my room. Again. To work with I have a desk, a bed, a couch, a trunk, a dresser, and a chair with a printer on it. In a very small space. So far I've arranged it in several different ways, but this one is brand spankin' new. Anyway... Thought I'd share that with you.


[ this is a bottle on a wire. it's orange and it has a little plaque on the wire that says "creativity." thought it was a cool way to edit it... ]

I'm also sick... Always seem to get a cold/sore throat in early to mid December. I usually can evade the silly illness all year long, until *kerplunk* December comes around.



I have made one of my two holiday wallpapers, though... See what you think...


[ obviously, click to eeeeenlarge.]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs, it's so hilarious. You're all welcome to use it if you feel compelled. :)

Oh, yeah, and I drew everything *but* the Dr. Seuss font/song title in Photoshop with my lovely Wacom pen tablet.



*sniffle/cough/sniffle*

I think I'm going to go watch Robin Hood. It's been pretty good so far, we've watched a few episodes of the first season, and now we've started the second season, because it seems more interesting. :)

Today Quinn and I made an excursion into Legoland. Quinn made a "junk," with super cool brown paper sails which he painted on, and a dragon figurehead.



I made a village inn, where Dumbledore is served ale by a pretty barkeeper girl, pirates often visit, and the beds upstairs often dump you on the floor. My creation was made solely using Harry Potter Legos. (save the tavern girl and the pirates.)



Coming soon: two Christmas wallpapers and a Christmas video! Just for you!

peace out,
