Sick Family Weekend

milo — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 00:37:23 +0000

Danny made his first ever trip to the emergency room this weekend … and that was Saturday, and Sunday! He has RSV which is apparently pretty common and similar to a cold, but Dan’s had a fever for 3 days. He got IV fluids on Saturday. He seems to be doing better, but still very sick. Abi has a terrible cough (same thing … RSV) and she coughs herself into puking, but other than that she’s acting pretty normal. Pro & I both have sore throats and bad coughs, but we’ll live. I took the day off today because Jessamyn hasn’t had much sleep and the added adult makes things a lot easier (it takes both of us to get medicine in Danny).

can’t decide

Once again, I’m thinking about deleting my blog (this website). I have no desire to post updates anymore. Of course, the logical thing to do is just keep it up, and let it go “dormant” in case I change my mind, but I don’t want to do that either. For me, that would be a form of pack-rat-ishness … which would weigh heavily on my mind (I’m a weirdo, no doubt).

The only thing holding me back is the fact that I can’t (really) download the contents of my blog for offline viewing. I can, but it simply looks like a clump of code to be sorted thru in order to find what you want to see. The formating and search ability would be lost.

I guess I should figure out how to install wordpress to my hard drive, complete with database and all; then I could just run wordpress offline when I feel like being nostalgic.

New Year, New Things

For starters, I finally did what I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I shaved my head. I’m still in the process of getting used myself as a bald person (along with everyone else who knows me), but I’m pretty sure I won’t be growing my hair back. All of the insecurities that used to haunt my mind regarding a bad balding pattern have vanished … that freedom alone makes it all worth it.

As quickly as I decided to be a comic book nerd, I’ve decided to now jump back off the bus. I like the X-Men comics a lot, but it’s become more of a hassle and money suck than an enjoyable hobby. So I’m all done with that.

I’ve become very interested in space travel and exploration. The next book I buy will be about the Apollo Missions.

New Project for 2012

milo — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:43:43 +0000

OK, so 2011 is just about over, which means my “even days” project is going to end as well. In 2010 I didn’t have any project running at all and I took a lot less photos. So … I need something to do next year.

…. drum roll please …

2012 will be my first ever “52 weeks” project. Lot’s of people do it on flickr, so if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me. Self imposed rules for the project are as follows:

1 – One photo per week
2 – No photo over 21 days old will be posted
3 – Any type of photo counts, but setups are preferable

So, in summary, nothing’s going to change except the number of photos I post … which will be less by like 70%

nothing to see here

I guess I just don’t have much to say at the moment

Trying to get more practice with outdoor portraits. This isn’t exactly what I was going for, but close. I love my kids, by the way.

Didn’t get a good photo of the kids on Halloween, but that’s ok. They had a great time, that’s what’s important.
