...the horses actually got up a little speed !!! They must have felt good after having thier feet trimmed.
I finally dyed my hair again. I don't know why, but I feel more "normal" (if there is such a thing... maybe I should say, more myself) with pink hair. Not just 'cuz I like pink - but I just think it "fits" me better. I've been just waiting and waiting for my color to come back to Hot Topic... back when I first dyed my hair, it was with Atomic Pink (by Special Effects) and Hot Topic stopped carrying it for so long! I found it once again, oh joy! and snapped it up. Then it sat in the bag, just waiting... till a couple nights ago I finally had the time to bleach and put the color in (unfortunately, having so much hair - I ran out of bleach, so my hair's a little variegated as far as the light, light blonde goes) ... and this was the result. Yippee! I love having pink hair!!
Well, im finally 18; on national talk like a pirate day. If you go to a crispy cream donut shop and wear a pirate costume with 3 pirate accessories (no weapons), then you'll get a free dozen donuts!
taken on my way back home from the airport.
houston to san antonio.
loooong drive :/ like 3 hours, haah,
haven't uploaded in foreverrrrrr it seems like.
just been busy with band camp and whatnot.
It happened! I signed today! I'm still in shock and probably won't sink in till I make that first payment and then reality will hit! I've been packing all week but there's so much more to do! Thus, I'll be out of commission for a few days.
I wandered outside the building into bright sunlight, totally exhausted after working about 24 out of 27 hours, and had to grab my camera and unwind by shooting some wonderful things... or will they still look wonderful when the tired brain catches up with me? I dunno... I shall post a few before I crash for a couple hours sleep, and you can be the judge!
Bless you all this lovely sunny day, may you find sunshine in your hearts on cloudy days...
and for those who are curious

Antilocapra americana - Pronghorn
After many trips over the years we finally came across a herd of ten pronghorn. Distant and with the light behind them but who cares. Of course as we were wtaching them one of the local rangers stopped and said he saw them most mornings - figures. Probably represents a major chunk of the valley population.
I finally got all of the parts to complete my handbuilt Columbus SL lugged road frame. I wanted to do an initial build before paint to make sure everything was going to work out as this is my first handmade bicycle frame. I think I did pretty good for my first frame.
Now to figure out the paint...
I realize it's blown out, but it was a quick self-portrait. Didn't want the camera to get too wet! And I have no idea why my eyes look so glassy.
Finally, the moment we've been waiting for.

I have searched for almost a year for this journal and I finally found it! It started with an e-mail to Midori Japan, the company which produces these beautiful-yet-simple leather journals. They suggested an importer out of San Francisco, which lead me to contacting Kinokuniya Bookstores here in Los Angeles. They don't carry them, but their San Francisco store does (probably through the importer Midori suggested). A week later, I had my hands on this elusive import.
Finally, a bit of sunshine! It's May and it's chilly (around 12 degrees Celsius), but good photo weather! For the time being that is, as the forecast says more horrid weather and showers...
Got the Boo York, Boo York soundtrack at last I had been trying to find it since it was released and Tesco finally had it I actually thought they never gonna have it but they actually did and my Mum bought it home for me.
just a snapshot ... but an important snap shot, finally it feels like i've really "been to Japan"
5th trip to Tokyo and finally after 3 weeks I see Fuji San,on my last day, with barely 10 hours before my flight departed. So glad I took these shots from my hostel window as by the time I got to the Sky Tree 20 minutes later she was almost entirely hidden in haze and clouds.
I have seen Fuji from the plane flying in twice before but never before from the ground, not even when I was in shinfuji (Fuji town) in 2004 (though I did have a lovely cup of tea there while vainly waiting for a glimpse of the mountain ... not the same thing, everybody visiting Japan wants to see Mt Fuji)
after an hour long hard walk in the dryness of the southern part of the Big Island, we finally reached our goal!! one of only two known Green Sand beaches in the world (the other is on Guam i believe)
we were thickly covered in red dust (the same colour as the top of the formation) by the time we hiked back to the car.
the last time I had not been succesful in folding the flower tower. a closer examination of my model and pictures of other people's results finally gave me an idea of what to do. and yesterday I found out that this idea actually worked.
I wanted to achieve as many layers in the tower as I would be able to manage. thus I started with the biggest paper avilable to me: an octagon cut from a 70cm square of efalin. the colour is actually a really nice red, but the dusk light changed it to purple for my camera. guess I should have used the right white balance. ah well...
thanks again to dasa for teaching me the principles of the flower tower and enabling me to fold this!!
that model has really been high on my wish list for a long time. and I am so pleased to have managed.... a worthy nr. 42...

Finally got my Zeiss Ikon into working order. I had to remove the lens and reposition it so I could achieve infinity focus. This thing is nice and sharp!

Ok...now it's time to applique this puppy onto some yardage. Was going to use Grunge Grey but I don't want to waste all of it that ends up behind the flowers so I think I'm going to find a Bella Solid at work and put the flowers on that and then add the Grunge as a border!!:)
Oh my Katy....it's moving along...only a whole year later!!:)
Ok so today I finally decided I would take her outside no matter what looks I got XD
One dog barked at me like I was the devil, but the walker just tried her best to keep the dog at bay and didn't comment on my activities.

Boy scout waited patiently to get to the microscope, then went to town. His dad asked Haley about how much a scope like that would cost to get for his kids :).

I've never touched a Starfish, let alone held one. BUT, I do know that if you do hold one, never bring it above the water. It's akin to someone holding your head under water. Essentially, they can't breathe.
March 2006 - After I'd completed all my correcting, I wrote tomorrow's blog entry. The students were working hard on thier final examinations.

TGIF!
Friday afternoon, went to a café with a friend and a trip to the library afterwards. Then home and talk to the parents on the phone.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone! :-)
For my second Young Eagle flight of the day we decided to visit the "Area 51 Grill" at North Texas Regional. Delicious burgers as always! Go support the father/daughter team that owns it!
