phancy - April 10th, 2007

It's been a while since I've had anything to say. I've been taking pictures, though, and I've been using Flickr instead of here. I like the tagging and mapping I can't do on my own. I've tweaked this page to show the last 5 pictures I've uploaded, plus 5 random pictures. I like using sets and collections, so have fun poking around. I admit I'm terrible at leacing comments, but I do like receiving them.

Pictures of note:

Mrs. Phancy is a robot.

This is a fake flower.

Unrelated, I recorded a fill-in podcast for my buddies. Their show is fun; I've already guested twice. (One and two.) They couldn't get together one week, so I thought it'd be fun to make a show for them. It's really directed at them, but I play some good stuff you might like, and you also get to hear what I sound like when I'm talking to myself. I praised EK's musical tastes quite a bit, so EK, if you're reading/listening, don't be too creeped out. Upside of the show: Nice eclectic mix. Downside: Poor recording (I'm really quiet).

Finally, unrelated to all that, I have a funny video for you. My friends and I were having a conversation about flailing your arms like Kermit the Frog, and I commented that I actually did that from time to time. Video proof was demanded of me, and I was forced to oblige.

Things to watch for:

1. I have a squatted run because if I stand up all the way, my head hits the pull cord on the fan.
2. Ruby leaps off Mrs. Phancy's lap and does a faceplant on the couch.
3. That clanking sound is me slipping on the kitchen tile and falling on both my knees, my left shin and left foot all at the same time. I bonk the recycle bin while doing that. Yes, it was really painful.
4. After the clank, Ruby jumps again and faceplants into the crack between the couch cushions.
5. If you look closely in the fireplace, you can see a reflection of my sock as my foot flips up into the air.
