Call me self-conscious, but after I learned the joys of hair dying I always did it. I used to bleach my hair a lot in high-school. I tried black once in college (oh, the experimental days) and nowadays I just give it a lighter shade of blond.

Fresh out of the shower, so fresh and so clean.

Photoshop 7 seems to like to scrub the EXIF data when resizing and saving. I suppose I should upgrade to something newer…

Liz bought me a Nikon D40. Did I ever mention how she’s the best ever?

Friday we went out to dinner at a local Thai restaurant, Bangkok. It was deeeelicious. I have a soft spot for pad thai. Liz is making me it for my birthday! I’m psyched. After that we went to Coldstone for dessert. They have the best ice cream there. Went to Build-A-Bear and made stuffed animals. Liz made a groundhog, named him Milton, and dressed him up in hospital scrubs. She’s going to keep him at her desk at work, it’s pretty awesome. And I got to make a penguin! Cody Maverick from Surf’s Up.

Add one more to the collection for me. He even talks too. It’s great.

We saw Meet the Spartans later that night. The movie was alright, it had its funny parts but with the rising costs of seeing a movie in theaters (WTF @ $9.50 a ticket) I personally don’t think it was worth it. Soon enough the cost of buying a DVD in the store is going to be less than seeing it in the theaters. And people wonder why movie piracy is on the rise…

Saturday I spent the day doing homework and taking a final exam for one of my classes, and ended the class with a 92 average. Not going to complain there. Liz was out prettying herself up, since later that night we went out downtown with her friends. We hit a few bars, played some darts, got pizza, and ended up at her friends’ house after it all to watch Snakes on a Plane. It has Sam L, it’s good by default. Liz and I ended the night back at her apartment.

Today we went out for lunch at a local Indian buffet, then back to the mall for some shopping. Liz bought herself a Coach bag, and we spent some time in the arcade playing DDR. And boy, are we old.

Got all my W2 forms in the mail, so I’m going to take care of my taxes tomorrow. Hellloooo refund. I’m hoping my SD card comes in the mail so I can start taking more pictures. I really want to get a D40 too, but it’s way out of my finances right now. Soon enough. I just need to find some scenic places in Central NY.

This was just cool to do. it’s so unrealistic but I think that’s what makes it so awesome. (med, high)

Most flower pictures focus on the petals, but I think the bright greens in the stems is what stands out here. (med, high)
