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

More weather and anime

So the flood is on its way out, but not without bringing a little excitement. It was time yesterday to go 50 miles to the farm for Darrell's grandma's 90th birthday. Foolishly, I chose our usual route instead of the alternate route that was high and dry 2 years ago when the water was 2 feet higher. Go »

Drinks

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 »

Now I remember why I live in North Dakota

It got hot all of a sudden the last few days, or what passes for hot in ND in early April (50s). It's like a spring break video out there, people prancing around in bikinis yelling "woo"... OK not quite but there is a marked change in demeanor. Go »

The Plight of Live Music in Fargo

My husband is in a band.. the problem is it's terribly difficult to find a place to play. Every few months, a new place will start offering live music. Go »

The Two Towers

So last week Darrell's friend Mike discovered on Wikipedia that Galesburg, North Dakota, a town near where Darrell and Darrin grew up and where they often hung out at the cafe, actually has the third tallest structure in the world. I find the photo on the wikipedia page rather amusing, by the way, due to its unusual dimensions. Upon discovering this, Mike, Darrell, and Darrin immediately drove out to pay the tower a visit.

Being Rich

I've decided I wouldn't really want to be wealthy. OK, in many people's estimation I am probably wealthy already, but, what I really mean is I wouldn't want to live like a wealthy person. I wouldn't want a huge house on the lake with my own boat.. Go »
