Gorgeous May Day

Man, I can’t believe it’s been this long since my last update. Blame it on schoolwork and WoW.

I was just talking to my mom about the depressing state of affairs in the political world, but then a day like this comes along and I feel a little bit better about things. It’s really gorgeous outside, my bills are paid, the kitties are all in good health, and there isn’t anything I have to do today.

Here are a couple of the critters who live in my back yard.

Ms. Caterpiller

After she said hello, I got a better shot of the pattern on her back.

Find the spider..

This is a view of the back of my house from the bottom of the hill.

And then from the deck looking down to where the previous picture was taken.

And then just some pretty trees.

Easter at Grandma Jane’s

Yesterday we gathered at Mother’s house for a mini-easter egg hunt with the JLCs and little baby Harmony (who truly is a holy terror on wheels). We ate good food, ate too much candy, and thankfully skipped Chitty Chitty Bang Bang this time. 😉

Check out the Easter link on the right to see pics.

Shrewd, Petty, and Evil

Which Polyhedral Are You?

You are a four-sided die, a d4. Otherwise known as a tetrahedron, a “Caltrop”, or (to a lesser degree) “Ol’ Pointy”. This crap bores you, so I’ll get to the point. Others tend to see you as petty, conniving, manipulative, argumentative, defensive, greedy, and needlessly antagonistic. You see yourself as focused, effective, efficient, influencing, shrewd, tactical, and direct. Both points of view are in fact correct. You always know the best way to get things done, a fact that never wins sympathy with others. Whenever you manage to gain control of a situation, your solutions are swift and brutal. Unfortunately everyone else is convinced that granting you such power is, “a bad thing” and often conspire to keep it out of your hands. Such short-sighted fools!

Happy Birthday Kurt!

We had a birthday party for Kurt on Saturday and I’ve just put the pics up under Personal links on the right.

Liz and I kicked La Madre and Jennifer’s ass at canasta, but unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the scorecard to prove it.

Painting in progress..

I just took a picture of the painting I’m working on with my new Canon A95 camera. I’m still trying to figure out all the camera settings for indoor lighting, but this is the best shot I have at the moment.

I was also messing around with the project/photo editing software that came bundled with the camera and made myself a cute March calendar page with the image. You should be able to save that file and drag it into a word doc (or perhaps print it with no margins or headers) to have your very own cute calendar page of a Fleep Original Painting. =)

Monday, Monday

I don’t know where the day went, it’s already after 5 and the rain has turned to snow which means I need to hurry up and get my butt home before the roads get slick.

Eventually I’d like this site to have some kind of theme or purpose, but for the time being I’m trying to just remember to post regularly. I’ve added some family pics and kitty pics under the links heading on the left. A couple of pictures are broken and I’m not sure why, but still that’s better than nothing, right?

And now for your daily dose of irony, U.S. cites nations on human rights abuses.
