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 like it. But you look scared.

Steve West | December 7, 2007
I think pensive. It's a beautiful picture. Yes, pensive. Thinking deeply in a sad or serious manner.

Scott Hardie | December 7, 2007
I like it. I think you look surprised. Like, "What? You're taking my pi--"

Amy Austin | December 7, 2007
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

Frustrated

I just get so frustrated. I want my husband to be happy but the things he's decided will make him happy are completely out of our control (success at music). I wish something good would happen for him finally. Go »

American Gothic

Well, for quite a while I have had nothing to say to anyone about anything and it is getting a bit claustrophobic. So I figured I should start saying some things into the void, dumb and trivial as they might be. A while back there was a video store closing sale so we picked up a number of TV series on DVD at 75% off. Go »

Chair

Over the weekend we went to Mills Fleet Farm to pick up the specific present my dad wanted for his birthday. I doubt you have the Fleet Farm in the more "civilized" parts of the world but it is a bit like a Walmart with the addition of things like calf medicine, saddles, fence posts, and a huge amount of hardware, machinery, building supplies, etc. I mostly stick to the more Walmart-like areas of the store, except for that one time when I built a fence :).

stupid water

I guess I'm just not cut out for dealing with anything the slightest bit stressful. Well, I already knew that. So we had our all-time record flood and it has dropped almost 6 feet since then but now they are saying there is going to be a second crest of the river even higher than the first sometime in April.

Welcome

Not a lot happens in my life that I feel I can talk about publicly! There's my work, but we all know you can't talk about that. We're involved in a politcal thing that, if life were like an episode of Monk, would surely get us all killed. Go »

Armplay

So, It seems like our frequent thunderstorms have programmed me to become wide awake at bizarre times even when there isn't a storm. I am definitely going back to bed. First I wanted to comment on a strange trend in anime. Go »
