Bored journalists waiting for deadline

So what do designers (and many copy editors) do as they wait for deadline? Well, many things... watch TV, joke around. Thanks to Holly, I play "Boomshine" on Bored.com. Yes, there is a Bored. com. I'm as surprised as you are! Anyway, Boomshine... you click on the screen and something explodes... and you hope it takes everything down with it... kinda sadistic, really. But you go through several levels... and by the time you know it, you've wasted 10 minutes of your life... but that's no all... you'll want to do it again and get a better score... and again... and again. You'll know you've had enough when you've missed deadline... again

Keith and Jeanette visit!

Ok, so I promised photos of Jeanette and Keith visiting. Here they are:

The photo of them by the letters is them at the ImaginOn library. It has this big typewriter-like keyboard out in front, so they sat next to their initals.

Other photos are of us at the mountain house. That's them out on the back deck, with the mountains in the background. Oh, and Jason and Keith played ping-pong.

Hail Storm of 2008!

So, sometime two weeks ago, we got some bad storms going through the area. Lightning, thunder, hail and tornadoes passed through. Luckily, the tornadoes were on the other side of my county! We did get hail, lots of it. But from what I heard, the biggest hail fell about two miles to the northwest of us, baseball-sized hail! We got the pea-sized and golfball-sized. There wasn't too much damage, but my car and Jason's Jeep did get a few small dents, nothing that destructive. All I said was, " It wasn't as bad as the Brownsville hail storm of April 2003."

Anyway, the photos: the first one is me holding some hail. You can't see it so well, but it's there... and it was cold!

The second photo is of hail falling on the Jeep. The hail did tear apart the big tree in our front yard, so we had a lot of leaves everywhere. After the storm, Jason and I tried to throw the hail onto the street so cars would roll over them. Yes, we're that lame...

Photos!

Ok, some photos (sorry that they're not in perfect order):

Ok, the top boats are at Amelia Island in Florida. Jason up there to the right is at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. The bridge is in Jacksonville, Florida. It's pretty up there. Anyway, down here is me at Grandfather Mountain.

Dang it!!

I had a new post... and it was long!! My computer decided to suck and killed it! Here is the quick replay:

1) Election night was tough. Barack Obama wins. Tired of the Democrats. Hope John McCain wins.

2) Massive storms in Carolina. Still cloudy. Maybe that's why my computer burped.

3) Jeanette and Keith visited me in March. I might add photos later.

Well, that was it... more later.
