I have to say, this is posted PURELY because of peer pressure. I was working on birthday decorations for one of our co-workers, and I just happened to sit like this, then Leslie has to come and go, OMG! and take pictures, because she can't sit with her legs like that, and then she makes me promise that I will post this somewhere, for the record.
So, Leslie, you happy now?
Figured I'd use this old photo of me to try and kick start another round of AFOL tag.
Since I've tried to tag newer AFOLs, and other folks I didn't see on AFOL Tag, I'll explain how it works. If you've been tagged, then you're next. Post a photo of yourself, along with ten facts about yourself that folks might not know about you. Then "Tag" ten friends by adding them to your photo. Last, add your photo to the AFOL Tag group. You can browse the AFOL tag group to learn more about your fellow AFOLs who've already been tagged.
So, here are ten more facts about myself
1. This photo was taken in 1982, between Second and Third Grade for me. My father worked for CBS, and that came with certain benefits for an eight year old kid. This was when the Dukes of Hazzard was at it's peak. My dad managed to wrangle getting a General Lee for a local car show, and took me out a few days before the show, to see it's arrival. Yes, this is one of the cars from the show. I got to ride around in it with one of the stunt drivers. Sadly we didn't go over any jumps, conveniently placed near construction sites, but he did peel out in the parking lot. He also let me climb in through the window, even though the doors weren't actually bolted shut.
2. In high school I had four girlfriends, one each semester starting my Junior year. Despite that, I only went to one dance, the Junior Ball.
3. My love of video games precedes the Atari-2600. My family's first video game system was a radio shack TV-Pong game with four slider controllers and a single light gun.
4. The most famous person I've met, outside of conventions like PAX and Dragon Con, would be Mel Torme. He's actually a really nice guy to strangers.
5. The most esoteric celebrity I've met would be Jim Self. Mr. Self is probably the world's most famous Tuba Player. He was the voice of the Mother Ship in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"
6. The celebrity I am happiest to have met is Steve Smith, better known as Red Green.
7. I was born in West Virginia, where I lived until 1985, when the family moved to Fairbanks Alaska, where I grew up.
8. The first LEGO set I ever owned was Universal Building Set #402.
9. I was once Bartolo in a production of the Opera "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart.
10. Despite my love of Superhero films, and my special affinity for Batman, I have red very few comic books.

www.flickr.com/photos/nataliaalvarenga/ her flickr, she's a superb photographer n' a great-wonderful friend!
I went SCUBA diving in St. Thomas. I wanted to give the thumbs up but I was afraid that I was sending "up" signals. Fortunately my photographer knew that the thumbs also mean "awesome."
Me thinking about someone special and the way they hold me. ;P And even though I took this picture before I met them this picture is about them in every way.
my hubby is a high school teacher, and yesterday he had the day off. alas, i did not. when i asked him what he'd do with his day, he said he thought he'd head up to borders to replace our copy of serenity (a dvd we'd lent out, but we forgot to whom, and we really want to see it again, so whomever we lent it to can keep it, cos life's too short not to do stupid shit like that in my opinion, and could i possibly use any more tenses in this sentence?). ANYway, we had some extra coupons, and he said, "what should i do with these?" "i don't know, surprise me." and then i promptly forgot the entire conversation.
a long day ensued. meetings, tense ones -- meeting the boss's new boss, etc., then dinner with the boss and the boss's new boss (who was fabulous, in the end). at the restaurant, florian called. i told him i'd be home later than i'd thought. "well, look in your bag when you get home." (that is, my normal everyday bag, not the smaller bag i use when i have to do the business casual thing and go to the corporate office for meetings. girls will understand this.) ANYway, i figured it was something that had come in the mail that i needed to see.
this book -- this gloriously fabulous book -- was what was in my bag.
p.s. if'n yer interested, go here, plug "walker evans signs" into the little amazon.com widget, and go to town. not only will you get the book, but you'll also support my favorite non-profit radio station. wheeeee!

Have you tried this stuff yet? Michelob Ultra fruit flavored pilsner.
I've mentioned probably no less than a dozen times on my photostream that I'm a beer snob. I like *quality* beer and the darker, the better. I'm sorry to those I offend, but Anheuser-Busch isn't exactly my idea of quality beer.
We swung in the grocery store tonight to pick up a couple of things and Rj mentioned that he tried these at a friend's house the other day and enjoyed them. I was quite perplexed as to how something that looked line a wine cooler could actually be good, but at $5.49 for a six pack, I figured I'd give it a whirl.
I went with the Tuscan Orange Grapefruit flavor and wasn't anticipating much from it. But boy was I pleasantly surprised! It's fruity, but still has the taste of beer! And I don't know what the 'Ultra' means, but I'm thinking it means 'won't fatten you up as quickly as that dark stuff you drink'.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not converting over to these things. In fact, I had to have a Black and Tan with my dinner after downing one of these during dinner prep. But they definitely make for a nice treat and I would recommend you trying them if you like fruity and/or beer.
The other flavors are Pomegranate Raspberry (I almost picked this one up instead) and Lime Cactus, which Rj claims was his favorite of the three, but I just can't wrap my head around cactus-flavored beer.
We were all set up, ready to take portraits of kindergarten folk, for the Elegant Event that my sister Trish and her co-teacher Karen put on each year. It's a fun time where the kids get dressed up, have formal portraits taken, parade into the classroom, have a luncheon complete with menu, and a bill to be paid, then a time for dancing. It teaches manners, with a lot of laughter included.
I took the few minutes before the whirlwind began to sit a spell. My Karen Sue, had my second camera in hand, and took that time to re-familiarize herself with the setup in this lighting. Overhead florescent lighting in a school library. She set about taking pictures of various things, one of which was me.
As I was reviewing the images, making selections for further processing, I was struck with how natural I look. Not a forced smile, not that wild look I get when I'm trying to figure out if the camera holder is "doing it the way I would." I was relaxed. Karen got it!
So, I'm making this my new icon image. Well done, by my dear bride, my Karen Sue.
