Who doesn't love a good pig picture?

This is the Photo of the Day at National Geographic. Love it.

Taking the guess work out of drunk self portraits

Samsung came out with a new digital camera that has a small LCD screen on the front that lets you see what is in the frame if you are attempting to take a self portrait. On the back there is still a bigger screen to help you aim and set up your picture.

This innovation is really a great idea. The people at Samsung are really embracing my generations love of taking self portraits which involve to people squishing their faces together so that their cheeks get smooshed into one another.

The only downfall is that this would mean I would no longer have pictures of ceilings, walls, or the tall guy behind me.

Best Smelling Place in Vegas

When I was in Vegas, I wanted to see as much of the strip as I could. It was awesome going around and seeing the casinos that are referred to on tv, in movies, or books. My aunt and uncle have been a few times and they recommended that I go see the Bellagio fountains - particularly at night.

Saturday we thought to take a break from the slots and take advantage of the nice weather, so we walked down the strip and saw some of the sites. These casinos are AWESOME. I do want to let you know that "the strip" is much longer than I expected and the road is much busier. You can't just cross from one side to the other. A local informed us that many people get hit who are visiting because they do not understand the importance of waiting for walk signal. But anyway, the fountains were super fun. We saw them during the day and at night after our dinner at Paris. (I have a short video clip, but of course, a fire truck or something came by and I still can't figure out how to edit sound clips with Floyd. But when I do, I will be posting some videos :) )

One of the girls wanted to see the glass flowers that are in the Bellagio. We went in. The ceilings were beautiful. They also had some gorgeous upside-down paracols that hung in the hallways. My favorite part was the indoor gardens. It smelled wonderful in there. No traces of cigarette smoke. We didn't want to have to leave there. I mean it was also super fun. They even made a snail out of flowers - it was wicked cute!

I have become addicted to taking pictures of blossoms up close. I hope you enjoy them :)

Oh the Internet

You never know where you may pop up out there in cyber-space...

A few weeks ago I was told by a friend that I was seen in the background of a guy's profile pic on match.com! Crazy talk!! I sadly cannot supply proof of this but I can show you where else one can find me or parts of me out in the World Wide Web...

First off, we have the Holy Cross housing website. This picture is of me getting OJ out of my senior year apartment fridge. Yes, I am well aware that we had an obscene number of magnets. This was not my only HC claim to fame. This image was also used in a border for the 2008 calendar. More impressively, one of the brochures given out to prospective/admitted students has a great photo of my hand holding a pussy willow branch (this is where my appendage modeling days first began).

The next internet find comes from the fact that I impulsively click on webpages that people put in their status messages on facebook and gchat... this is how I found myself on another website. Scroll down to Candids...I am pretty sure you can pick me out fairly easily

The of course there is the Chester French pic (but i've kind of advertised that one enough)

So yeah, facebook isn't the only place you can pop. It has been fun stumbling over myself out there!

Feet

Chester French posted the picture. Yes, I realize I am barely there, but still its me :) Foot model here I come
