Despair rolls in...

I can't. I just know I can't. It is impossible.

And I can't face the inevitable failure.

Dumb Weight

There is one thing that is very, very important. Well, there are lots of things, but this one is more so than others, right now at least.

When aspiring to be the big bad photography person, please have with you at all times (1) at least two batteries, one in your camera, one fully charged back up in your bag, and (2) a handy-dandy battery charger in said bag.

One other thing they should mention...in an action packed week with lots of picture taking, check that the fully charged backup in your bag, is indeed fully charged! And maybe check it the night before the coolest road trip to the coolest science museum and the coolest market for coolest foods.

Anyway, I was able to take two pictures with my "fully-charged back-up battery."

They came out nice, but that doesn't really reduce the annoyedness...It's a dinosaur, that demonstrates the effect of weight/counter-weight. Cool.

March comes in like a lion.....

"The storm, which rolled in Friday, dumped 20.4 inches of snow on Columbus, breaking the city's previous record of 15.3 inches set in February 1910, the weather service said. Cincinnati and Cleveland also received about a foot of snow."

Check it out...

I've never really thought clearly (or to much extent) about it, but being here in the land of Perpetual Precipitation serves to increase the time spent on thinking of rain/snow/weather, so light should have dawned by now. Well, I had an epiphany in class this morning. Dr.B Sr was talking about the passage in Psalms where it says, "purge me with hyssop and cleanse me whiter then snow." and the premise is that snow is rain and rain is moisture wrapped around a dust particle of some time, and therefore snow is not completely white, but has a core of grime as it's basis...David was speaking not of salvation but of spiritual cleansing of the core of self-centered-ness in himself. Cool imagery, but not my epiphany. It just hit me like a flash that one of the reasons it rains (snows, etc.) a lot up here is the higher level of molecules in the air. Denser air, more pollution, etc. Now, L1 is the physicist in the family, but every now and then I tend to enjoy it as well. Just as long as he or some other smarter person isn't around to correct my misconceptions and errors. Please, no comments.

Lots of Pictures of Pictures

K, some people have this overly annoying habit of drawing, if you can call it that, while taking notes. Not that the note taking is slowed any by the doodling. It actually seems to facilitate comprehensive notes. But I hereby apologise for boring all my other readers (both of you) with this inordinately long post merely to show MOTN some examples of what I was talking about. So here goes the longest post this year...

Houses:

One of my favorites ever.

A castle. The first one to come around. Interesting, but rather odd in proportions. A closer detail of the above picture.Like it says, a sod buster's house.

Smallest house in the world.

Another really small one...near something to do with the Persians, apparently.Twister!

Oooh, two-tone!

Messy farmer, that's for sure.

Aww, pretty picket fence.

Mountain cabin. (And passing notes in church. Shame, shame.)

One of the fastest ever drawn.

~~~~~~

Crosses:

The basic message of the bible in pictorial form.Random. And leaning.
Re-illustration.

~~~~~~

Doodles:

Gotta love this quote!

Don't ASK.

And again, don't bother.

Ministerial Division Plenary Meeting

Led by Gumby, hence the little slanty headed creature.

Ummm...Not sure, exactly.

Actually wasn't just morbid, it went with the sermon. I promise.

Not just colors are possible when boredom comes into play.

A reproduction of an outdoor ministry chalk-art kind of display board.

Not sure what kind of ship this is supposed to be. Looks odd.
Ever wonder where bullets come from?

And where they stay till placed on a bulleted list?

~~~~~~

National Talk Like a Pirate Day:

One of my favourite holidays.

English Comp. class notes. As are the following three.

Christian Beliefs class notes.


~~~~~~

Fleas:


Yeah, don't ask me where the whole flea drawing thing comes from, my brothers are just always doing it. It is addicting, I tell ya.






More forthcoming! Just don't have pictures of them yet.
