So, I found a new setting on my camera that makes it easier to take HDR pics.  So without further ado, HDR Katy!

Reason for Unfollowing…

I unfollowed Nathan Fillion on Twitter a few days ago. Last week a person posted to the internet a video of a rainbow and his reaction to it.  He was foolish enough to show great enthusiasm for said rainbow, and the internet, which as we all know can be quite cruel, made fun of him [...]

New Blog Design gets New Pics

As promised here are some new pics to go with the new blog design.  I have a lot more pics than this, but this is what I have after doing HDR magic. First four are free hand (no tripod) so may be a tad blurry… And the next four are from July 4th weekend, using [...]

Good quote

This quote is from a contender in our mayor race this year.  The one I voted for. A fateful moment was reached when the Columbia Chamber of Commerce decided to recruit and endorse McDavid for mayor. That moment marks the end of the 104 year history of neutrality of the Chamber in local political affairs. [...]

Solstice

Solstice is upon us.  I’ll later post a picture of what I got (I didn’t think to do that until *after* I was charging the camera), but for now, here is a list: Two Books Modern Warfare 2 3200 Microsoft points. (For rockband) New Socks (so comfy) and Darned Socks (also comfy) picture for my [...]

New Job, New Computer, Nice case.

So I went to a town hall…

I went to a town hall with Claire McCaskill and all I got was these sore legs.  Well that and a distinct feeling of a loss of faith.  Not a loss of faith in any gods or goddesses.  That’s still intact.  But I feel a loss of faith with my countrymen and countrywomen.  I used [...]

Ugh.

Cleaning sucks.  I’m glad I’m done though.  Well until tomorrow.  I cleaned the degu cage, mopped the utility room, vacuumed the bedroom, hallway and office, and put up laundry. It sounds like a lot, but I only had so much to do because I let myself get backlogged.  Oh well.  On track now.  Tomorrow, I [...]

Update

I need to update more often.  Things have been sucking lately so I haven’t been.  Though, that’s not really an excuse since some people actually like to read that kind of stuff. Filed for unemployment today.  I hope I’m not on it long.  It’s going to help, not sure how much yet, but hopefully enough. [...]

Just a day.

Today could have been better, could have been worse. All in all, not bad. Played a lot of fable2. (They ripped me off. When I went into the spire for 10 years, they didn’t give me the profits and rent I should have earned. Oh well.) Tried to participate in a live draft but yahoo [...]
