Ms. Photogenic…
Just thought I would share – Hanna has posted her picture of me in the sombrero and Elaine has a wonderful shot of me showing off my birthday flan. I think everyone was amused, don’t you? Do I get a trophy for being Ms. Photogenic or something like that?
More Celebrations!
I had to go home to meet the cable guy, which is a good thing because the postwoman came by to give me a box. Meryl sent me a copy of A Day Late and a Dollar Short! It was too big to fit in the mailbox, so I’m glad I was here [...]
Diabolical At That!
Comment trolls pissing you off? People stealing your website designs without bothering to ask first? Can’t take another second of the boss at work? Simply had enough of Duhbya that you can’t think of anything creative anymore to describe your sentiments about him? Well, now you can use The Diabolical Curse [...]
In the End…
As Rannie’s 100k Photo Contest comes to a close, here are my entries for the last 5 categories. All images open in a larger pop-up window.
:: A Study in Human Form :: From the Hip :: Vintage ::
:: Red-Handed :: Favorite Things ::
Now the story behind the photos:
:: [...]
Busy Schedule… For a Change!
Ironic that for months I’ve barely gone out at all, and now thanks to the H-Town bloggers there was coffee at Kaveh Kane’s on the 21st (photos are online now here), last night’s birthday celebration, and coming up I will be heading downtown on Thursday for after dinner drinks with Jish!
I got to meet Jish [...]
Before I Go…
The rest of the photos from Galveston are in the Pixelog. Now I’m really tempted to hop in the car and drive down there right now to take more!
Driving in Texas is a very different concept than driving in New England or most other parts of the country. Around here, we don’t think [...]
And a Good Time was had by All…
I could write this huge post about what a great time I had last night, but I’m still tired (I went to sleep at about 3:30 and got back up at 8:30) and I’ve discovered that Kathy has said it all very well. So I’ll try to recall some of the highlights:
:: Kenny, Elaine’s [...]
I Knew She Was the Best All Along…
Reading MSN’s “Weblog central” article, what will you see? A link to Jennifer’s blog. Heck, I knew she was the best all along – but I’m glad MSN came to their senses and realized it too.
Celebrate Good Times – Come On!
Let’s celebrate! Great, now I’ll have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the night! Tonight for the birthday celebrations I’ll be joining Hanna, Elaine, her husband Kenny, Mike, Kathy and others for pool, good Mexican food & margaritas, and maybe a trip in to town to hang out and [...]
Aa-aaaaaaah!
Someone guard the women and the children! The Viking Kittens are heading our way! Aa-aaaaaaaah! [via Brian]
300 Exposures…
My photos are online now for the 300 exposures in 30 days project! Some you may have seen before – but some are brand new!
How Did They Know?
Well, looky there – how did Google know to add a cake to their logo for me? Oh, alright … that cake probably isn’t for me, but there is a birthday boy waiting to give me spankings at Robyn’s site and that should count for something!
Many thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes: [...]
Treats!
Today was a really long day. I missed all the racket at Robyn’s blog and everywhere else thanks to having meetings from 9:30am – 3:15pm. Straight. Solid. No lunch. Well, I had lunch – at 4pm. It wasn’t a bad day for the most part, just a busy one. [...]
Picture Time!
In honor of my upcoming gallery for Rannie’s 300 exposures in 30 days project (I’m up tomorrow for my birthday), I added more photos tonight to Pixelog.
You Have to Wonder…
Do you think this is how Duhhhbya writes his speeches? “Some fun hints: layer phrases over one another for added effect, and always end with the “afghanistan and beyond” blurb.” Oh, such fun! [via Metafilter]
A License Should be Required…
When I hear about things that people do, I seriously think that a license should be required before you can be a parent or step-parent. I was shocked when I was watching the news earlier and heard about how a Stepfather uses stun gun to discipline boy. Let’s add to this the fact [...]
Beware of the Monsters Under the Bed!
Lisa moved her site recently, over to Blogomania, and I helped her and her husband out with various things. Last night when I went to get the mail there was a copy of Monsters, Inc. waiting for me! A Birthday/Thank you gift all rolled in to one! What a great surprise! [...]
Compose Then Click…
I’ve had people ask me before how I take pictures. The rule of thirds is something I took to like a fish takes to water. I am always looking for other ideas, and Tips for Better Photo Composition is a really good read.
Tips on night photography – things like stars – can be [...]
Match This with That…
Until you play with the Stereotypes at the Eric Myer Photography site, you just don’t appreciate how half of one person’s face merged with half of another face can actually make a face that works. On the other hand, you can make some pretty creepy faces too. Have fun.
Sing it With Me!
Come on everyone – you know the words. I promise, if we get sued for singing it I’ll cover the copyright fees. Now everyone … on a 1 and a 2 and a 1, 2, 3…
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday Dear Jennifer!
Happy birthday … toooooo … YOU!!!
