A Few Digital Photography Basics

So I thought I would take a post to explain how to get some different looks with one camera and a single lens, and if their is interest maybe in a later post go into how to change up a look with different lenses.

2009, I am gonna let you finish but….

We got together with some friends and had a coparty to celebrate the end of the year. We had a fire outside to warm us up, and everything on me and the house smelled like it the night after. It was a wild time and much beer was drunk. Here are some pics to prove it.

Happy [...]

Jack Daniels and Ghosts, ooooooo

After Christmas some of Nitaya’s family came down from New York city to visit. They stayed over at Nitaya’s parents but we still wanted to help show them a good time. One of the family visitors mentioned going to Lynchburg TN to check out the Jack Daniels distillery, and as Nitaya and I had never [...]

Fun times this Christmas

It is funny when the holiday season starts you get all excited about the food, family, and fun, and then a week into it you are exhausted and ready for it all to just be over. This year Nitaya and I did all the things we do every year and then some. A couple days [...]

A game of Dirty Santa.

At work today we decided to play the infamous dirty santa game. The game is simple, wrap a crappy gift and people steal and swap gifts in turn. I decided to use a little photoshop skill and pu together this little gem.

I printed it up it pretty nice quality and stuck it in a decent [...]

Unpaid Graphic Designer

I am a very happy graphic artist. I really do enjoy doing design work. I even do it for fun, can you believe it?! The thing is though, that when you are a moderately successful graphic designer people you know like to ask you for favors. It is a very accurate estimation that more than [...]

My new computer and Windows 7

Recently I got a friend to help me breakdown a few old computers I had laying about, and frankenstei a new computer together out of them. I have never had a machine like this, and while I have always been a child of Apple, this new PC is freaking awesome. I only had to really [...]

I know it looked like a dead blog again.

So I am trying to get back into the blogging again. Honestly it is not that I am to busy (I have palyed through several video games since I last blogged regularly), it is just that I am not a very scheduled person. I get to distracted from taking on too many hobbies and things [...]

Where’s my Christmas spirit?

I have to admit, every year around Christmas, I get all smug because I pride myself on being able to handle the busyness of the season and even enjoying it when others seem to stress out. Now that I actually have things going on in my life (hence the long gap of time between entries), [...]

Bento beginnings?

I’m not much of a cook… well, I say that, but that’s not entirely accurate. I am a lazy cook. Which means, I would rather eat out or get something quick and easy from the store or from a fast food restaurant (I know, gross but so good) than prepare a meal. Actually, I haven’t [...]

Fitness, not so much

I really do enjoy exercising sometimes, and I had set some goals to do SOME amount of exercise every day… but I have been SOOO lazy about it. I don’t know, it’s just easier and more relaxing to not have to get up and move around. LOL.
Patrick and I were going to do some workouts [...]

Now I have been neglecting my blog!

I have been meaning to post an update but I have felt either really too busy to, or too tired to do anything but collapse on the couch and stare at the TV. I guess my most exciting news, which isn’t very exciting by most people’s standards but is exciting to ME, is that I’ve [...]

Sago Palm Update

Ok, my sago palm at work looks really funky now, and not in a good way. Here:

I wasn’t sure why it was at first, but then I came across this article (scroll to the middle of the page) and learned why it was growing out so weirdly and so differently. Turns out the plant wasn’t [...]

Gardening fails

Oh goodness. So my gardening endeavors this year so far have been just as good as previous years, which is… not very. Well, I’ll have a little luck here and there, but if anything ends up blossoming, I don’t feel that there was any skill or know-how involved… just luck. And as much as I [...]

The self-makeover is failing so far

Okay, so a while back I said I was going to give myself a makeover – sit up straighter, wear nice shoes, be more confident, yadda yadda yadda. Well, I think that lasted MAYBE a week. I don’t know what my problem is, I just can’t seem to get it together. I must WANT to [...]

Great birthday weekend

Wow! I sure did have an AWESOME birthday weekend. I’m feeling a little “post-birthday” depression though, and eating everything in sight… I miss all the activity of the weekend and having all the people over. I love having people over, but I hate all the nervous cleaning I need to do beforehand!
My mom and dad [...]
