Vanity

So, is my new picture OK? Too weird of an angle? I think it is a better likeness than the old one because I look kind of worried and I'm hiding in a hood :P.

I think pensive. It's a beautiful picture. Yes, pensive. Thinking deeply in a sad or serious manner.

I like it. I think you look surprised. Like, "What? You're taking my pi--"

Ditto. And I have other comments on it -- and have since you posted it -- but knowing your tendencies, I'm afraid to share them! ;-)

Well, I think every picture of you looks so different, it's hard to say which picture is best. I think the hood look is definately cool! I'd stick with it!

Hey thanks for all the feedback people! Funny that people have such different opinions as to the emotion. I liked it better than the fake-confident grin on the last one plus that one made me feel cold to look at it. Must say I'm intrigued at what Amy had to say :-P. I can promise not to freak out if you reveal whatever it was, I just snapped my own photo really quick with a webcam when the pic looked OK on the screen so no hard feelings. I just asked because I really have no judgment on these things, pictures I thought were decent other people thought were terrible before :P

The Political Thing
The political thing I hinted at in my first blog entry is over for now. The signatures have been safely delivered to Bismarck. Anyway, here it is, the North Dakota Shared Parenting Initiative, at http://ndspi.org. Go »
goodbye dialup...
So, I've finally got some form of high speed internet though it's probably the slowest high speed they make (512 k). I like it though. It is so much better than what we had before. Go »
Our dog is smart
Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »
The British know how to make TV
Correction to my earlier post - we have now seen almost to the end of season 2 of QAF (Darrell decided to watch it after all) and it seems only season 1 is really amazing. Perhaps it gets better again later, I don't know. Is it any coincidence that season 1 is the one copied almost directly from the British version? Go »

We found a big 1.75 liter bottle of Absolut Apeach for $10 ... We didn't realize what a great special this was until we saw that the little 0.75 Go »
