FAIL

*waves white flag*

I done with the photo-a-day project. I knew this day would come. I even made mention of this in my first post of the project. The ultimate goal of the project was to get myself into a habit of carrying around my camera so I would take more pictures. I believe that part worked. My camera is in my backpack every morning. Sadly, what has happened is I've stopped uploading because I'm so far behind. So, I'm claiming photo bankruptcy.

I hope to get the remaining photos uploaded soon enough. Thanks for following my 88 day spree.

In other news...

I saw three great movies this weekend:

1. The Story of Ricky - The shining example of cult ultra-violence. I knew everything there was to know about this movie prior to watching it. It didn't disappoint. This gem is an example of how a movie can be so bad, yet be so good.

Overhear while watching: Person 1: "Seriously, how can he tie his tendon together?" Person 2: "I don't know, but it is awesome that he did!"

2. Night of the Creeps - Zombie movies are always a hit with me. Lots of Z-films will try to balance horror with humor and many fail. This movie is right up there with Return of Living Dead for good horror fun. Although, it could just be because of Tom Atkins' great catch phrase of "Thrill Me."

3. The Hangover - I laughed... a lot. The Hangover was fun. I don't want to talk it up to much. The Hangover didn't push the envelope on these type of buddy films, but I did laugh throughout the entire movie.

Philosophy of fanboy-ism

I'm trying to figure out if the reason that I disliked the original series of Star Trek was because I had been a fanboy of The Next Generation or if the reason I'm enjoying the original series now is because I'm a fanboy of the new movie.

I'm not sure why, but the paragraph above reminds me of the question, "Can God make a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it?"

Yesterday, I watched the first 4 episodes of the original Star Trek on Netflix's Watch Instantly. The episodes that are up are the newly re-mastered versions. I had expected the newly-done special effects to stick out like the effects in the re-done versions of Star Wars, but I've actually been quite impressed. They look like cleaner versions of older effect methods rather then mish-mash of old tech vs new tech in the Star Wars movies.

Spock rocks!

Interesting way to pick a character.

Dungeon and Dragon's Book: Do you like fantasy fiction featuring dwarves or elves? Try building a character of one of those races.

In my head: What? If someone bought Dungeon and Dragons then they obviously like fantasy fiction. What is the other option? Do you like VC Andrew's books? Try building a halfling character.

I realize I fell off the photo-a-day wagon. I might try to catch up, I might not. Haven't decided. I did keep it up longer then I thought I would, but I also still don't feel as though I've quit. I just quickly run out of hours in the evening.

While my friends and I were enjoying the weather on my furlough day, some people were actually doing work. People who study look contemplative. Contemplative makes for good photos.

Those are tears of joy. Amethyst is very good at folding a chip bag, but this was the first time under the pressure of nice weather, cold beer, and good friends.

HUZZAH, AMETHYST!

I had my last furlough day on Wednesday. It was the perfect day. We ate lunch on the Union Terrace and enjoyed the view.

A picture of my wife taking a picture of her little blue alien.

Here is my attempt at mixing something busy and hoping that it is also artistic. Here is a garbage truck, with the focus on all the gadgets that make it fuction. Arty or just too busy?

Coming off my close-up bikes of my bike, here is a close-up shot of the bench I sit on while I wait for the bus.

More of my awesome bike.

I got a nice bike for Christmas. Check out the dice!

Photo-a-day: Photo 080 - May 15, 2007

If I had Myspace when I was in high school.... and I looked like I was 32, then this might have been my avatar pic. I've never seen so many pictures of people taking self portraits in their bathroom until Myspace came along.

I saw this Freedom From Regligion Foundation ad on the bus riding home. I'm impressed with how much they are actively advertising.

Words just can not do this picture justice.

Chicken Boo?

This picture of the Capitol was taken on the first day of the farmer's market. Stupid lens flare, why did you have to go and ruin a perfectly nice picture?

This is one way to get attention. He played very well for a person playing a guitar while standing on his head.

Photo-a-day: Photo 074 - May 9, 2007

This picture reminds me of a Homestar Runner toon. That brie on pita with grapes for eyes was almost too cute to eat.

I didn't find the bat signal, just this ordinary spot light.

Another shot from the rooftop of the Overture Center. I love the Orpheum and enjoy the old sign.
