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

Narcissist

Oh lord, new worry, what if I'm a narcissist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_Personality_Disorder "NPD is considered to result from a person’s belief that he or she is flawed in a way that makes the person fundamentally unacceptable to others [8]. Go »

door to door salesperson

Well last night I had somewhat of a weird experience when this wacky lady came to our door to sell some cleaning supplies for $37 a bottle... I normally do not buy anything from solicitors but she had me flustered and I was cracking up at everything she was saying... Didn't want to send her away empty handed after her lengthy comedy show.

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 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 »

Bablyon 5 vs. Little House on the Prairie

Darrell is checking out a lot of Babylon 5 DVDs from the library lately. I watch it too when I get a chance. Anyway, perhaps it's because we're nuts, but we think that show has a bizarre number of parallels with Little House on the Prairie. 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 »
