The Invasion Begins

You probably can't tell from this photo (I was pulling out of the parking lot when I shot it), but this bird is huge. There were a couple more on the other side of my car just hanging out. These things creep me out.

I'm telling you, the birds are about to start attacking humans.

Old School, Fool!

So one of my friends from high school dared me to post a picture of this cassette if I could actually find it. I used to play this damn cassette all the time. I'm about ready to shell out some money to actually get it on CD so I can put it on my Mp3 player. I wanted to play it this weekend, but realized I don't have a cassette player except in my car. I love Lisa Lisa.

An entire year without a cleaning

I hadn't cleaned my car since last year around this same time. I washed it right before our wedding. I just don't have the energy to do it on a regular basis. This is what a tire looks like after not seeing soap in a year. I tend to let the rain take care of the cleaning for me.

Best Photographer Ever!

This little creature has been living on my camera bag forever 10 years. It came with the bag and I think this is the primary reason why I bought the bag. I thought the trinket was cool. Amazing how it's never falling off in all these years.

Pretty Red Earring

Last week CraigiePoo ordered us both these really gorgeous earrings from Peruvian Earring. They're really gorgeous. I wasn't please with any of the full body shots of the earrings. I took this one with my macro lens and I think I love it. There is something about the curl of the wire that I'm drawn to.

Monkey Business

On our first date, CraigiePoo and I went to an independent children's boutique store. They sold a bunch of kiddie items: clothes, books, etc. They also sold these little magnet, bendable animals. Apparently this wasn't the first time that CraigiePoo had been in the store. She was just adding to her collection.

I married her anyway.

Why would you need cotton swabs this long?

Fish

We went to Home Depot last week because CraigiePoo needed some dirt for her garden. While she was looking at everything else except for dirt (why can't we ever go in for the one thing we're supposed to get) I hung around the fish pond and took this photo.

One day, when I'm richer, I will have my own Koi pond and it will be the envy of the neighborhood.

Nighttime Driving

I'm not usually into nighttime photography, mainly because I tend to be at home curled up on the couch at night. I took this one night while waiting in the car for CraigiePoo to wrap up at meeting she was attending. I'm most fascinated with that streak of red.

Bet Your Oranges Never Looked Like This

Why stick a bunch of colored push pins into a poor, defenseless orange you asked? Why not. This is what happens when I get bored. This orange was sitting on my desk, waiting to be eating, when I got the urge to stick the pins in its flesh. It makes a pretty mohawk.

Corn on the Cobb

No special story behind this photo. I'm just feeling extra lazy this week. It's the end of the semester and I'm not even running on fumes any more. Just 2 more weeks. I'm looking forward to spending the summer working on some cool photo and other creative projects.

Spicy

There are many things I avoid ever eating: alfalfa sprouts, okra, hot sauce, just to name a few. Hot sauce was always...well...hot. I just couldn't get into it...until now. I discovered this delicious spicy treat and can't stop putting it on everything. It has that bite of hotness, but there is also some sweetness to it so I don't spend the entire meal with tears in my eyes and my tongue on fire.

I still will not touch okra. It's disgusting. Slimy and just gross.
