but here are some nice pictures anyway. squaw valley is a really beautiful place. a little photoshoppy exaggeration; the skiing wasn’t this doomful. i’ve started taking the pigs out in a pair, now that i’ve gotten more used to them and they’ve gotten more used to me (they still hate me though). they do this […]
amusing chalk drawings (not ours) a scale model of orthanc appeared nearby later in the day. after a long day standing there and looking ominous, orthanc likes to go out for a good brewski. i fight crime (witness the shiny new dagger)! sadly, no colorful bras were bought. sauron was kind of short. so was […]
this is about where i am today. based on a conversation with my parents a few weeks ago…
i got a request for more pictures of my “garden.” today and yesterday were actually fairly decent weather so i was able to snap “a few.” first, the general layout. this is part of my “herb garden.” coriander is on the left, and fenced in by some lameass bricks (2 bricks deep) is the oh-so-unruly […]

ehh, sometimes they can be charming. this is a picture i took during one of the “herding children” activities i sometimes speak of. it pretty much usually involves slimy crawly things.
i’ve been busy webprepping my digicam photos, so here is an older picture from last summer. this one is from that horrid rennie experience in sf. it’s really for dave, who doesn’t even read this blog (i think)
i’m taking a small break from finishing up a horribly horribly intense (and horrible? maybe) paper draft for my advisor. i wanted to share the joy of my mystery plant in the backyard. when we got back from christmas break, i noticed that some sort of grassy plant had mysteriously appeared on the very edge […]
