Truth is...

Update on the photo project.

So, I've taken photos about... 5 days out of the week. Not too shabby, I'd say! ...The next step is to get them on this gosh darned blog. Hmm..

Photo Diary

So, a friend mentioned today that she wanted to try to take at least one photograph a day. It sounds interesting. We all know I'll be great about it for a week, then probably lose interest. Anyway, I think I'm going to try it. I can't promise that I'll actually post a new photo every day... but maybe do one post a week? Let's see if we can do this.

Communication resumes.

This Too Shall Pass--OK Go!

Long Road

A Trip Down Memory Lane....

Doesn't matter what they say....



Aaaand there is this AMAZING video... but I can't embed it. So you have to follow this link to see it. I believe we should have done this instead. No? Maybe we should go back to Mt. Pleasant for a do-over.

Happiness is... finding new songs!

This lovely song came to my attention by a post from Kayle Murphy on facebook... It's wonderful!

"Crayola Doesn't Make A Color For Your Eyes" by Kristin Andreassen

R---awwwwr!

Amanda sent me a link to this adorable itty bitty short animation.

Enjoy!

The Pioneer Woman Wishes You, America, a Good Morning!

Yep. She was on Good Morning America today. Looking cute and nervous and just a great as I would hope!

Love The Pioneer Woman... She writes one of my favorite blogs. She does food blogging (hello?? obviously a winner), but she also blogs on the other domains of her life. Her kids. Her experiences. Things she sees. Things she misses. She was a city girl...then moved to the middle of nowhere. It can happen, and the move can be successful! But me... I don't think I'm ready to leave yet.

Going, Going....

Weirdest weekend ever.

Not entirely sure what I want. Not entirely sure how much that matters... or what things that I want should take priority. Not entirely sure where compromise and sacrifice ends and deliberately withholding from myself the things that I enjoy begins. Sometimes I feel like the goals I set for myself are restricting. Sometimes they are what gets me to the next day. Just trying to keep moving in some direction and hope that soon I'll see if it's the right direction or not.

Love! Love! Love you (Mom, and sometimes Pam and Tori, and maybe Amanda... since I don't think anyone else ever looks at this! lol)!!!

p.s. please don't take this as a worrisome sign that life is deteriorating. This is just a stream of consciousness kind of thing... Graduation is coming. Plans need to be made. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to be making these plans. I think this is a normal process with an impending graduation. 2 decades as a student--now what?

Snow Day!

^_^

I would love to have this for myself.

Okay, okay.. one more! Isle of Wight, 1970

This is so good! I just watched it 4 times. I'll be watching again once I've finished posting this.



Ohh! This interview, too. It's good.



And the sound check ruckus! I hadn't seen this. Greedy and foolish people everywhere.

In a Jethro Tull Mood

Sometimes you just need to go back to the stuff you were raised on.

It seems like nothing could be more appropriate than starting with...

AQUALUNG (He throws in some incredible flute work making this a most awesome version, I believe.)

LIVE FROM FRENCH TV: TEACHER and THE WITCH'S PROMISE


BOUREE, IAN ANDERSON with ANN MARIE CALHOUN and the SYMPHONETTE RAANANA (ISRAEL)


AND FINISHING WITH THIS LITTLE GEM...

This is where I meet my muse...

and it feeds me!

Dear 2010,

Welcome! I look forward to seeing exciting changes unfold. This shall be a year of significant changes. In May I will hold a Master of Science in Social Work. Hopefully after that I will be working. Beyond that there should be new and wonderful things that are far beyond my imagination waiting for me.
