Found this little gem while looking through old stuff on my computer. Figured we never made it into a lip dub, so I promptly fixed that!

I had a dream last night that I was playing doubles tennis against Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I thought it was unfair that we were playing against twins so the the guy I was playing with and I put on matching t-shirts. Apparently that was good enough. We were on opposite sides of an empty indoor pool, and there was some sort of party going on around us, probably to watch us play tennis. The ball we were playing with was like a small inflatable beach ball and I couldn’t ever hit it right. Then people started getting in the pool and standing in the way of us playing, so we stopped.

Then I woke up.

Do you guys have any really weird dreams?

This blog is kind of turning into a group-tumblr, and that’s just fine with me.

This is a pretty good representation of how Bill and I dream. I’m the girl, I guess.

U! Ha!

It’s a blog by a guy who draws a different character every day. SEE IF YOU CAN NAME THEM ALL!

There is some cool stuff on his regular website, too.

The other night I was looking through old archive stuff from computers’ past, and I came across a folder with some photos in it. A lot of photos, actually. In fact, it contained EVERY photo I’ve posted on my blog for 3 years. I’m calling this project: EVERY PHOTO I HAVE POSTED FROM OCTOBER 15, 2003 – DECEMBER 16, 2005. Clever, I know. I’m almost positive that these are all pictures that I posted back on the ol’ Conclave Project. For those of you who don’t know, it’s the group blog us Iowans had before Shambot came along.

So, now I’m trying to figure out a way to put all of these photos onto a website so everyone can look back and enjoy the memories. Did I mention there are 835 photos? I didn’t? Well, there are. That’s about a 1 picture per day average, which is pretty impressive if I do say so myself. It makes me sad that I don’t have a camera now to post one picture every day. IMAGINE ALL THE PICTURES OF CATS!! I would have to physically try to NOT take pictures of cats, which I’m not sure I’m entirely capable of.

Well regardless, I’m probably going to have to figure out Automator or find some way to… automate the building of the website, because hand-coding 835 images is not something I would like to do. But damn, it would be rewarding… maybe I will do it by hand…

EDIT:

Well, I did it: ALL PHOTOS

I used iWeb (sorry, Joel), and it was disturbingly easy. It’s not pretty or anything, but it’s functional, and that’s all that matters. I had to split it up into two pages, which you can navigate to at the top of the site. They’re all in chronological order, which I had to do by dragging them in one by one. For some reason when I drug in more than one, it would make up some arbitrary order to put them in. It’s also got some fancy slideshow navigation business that was built in to iWeb. I commend anyone who can sit through all 835 pictures. I think it might be a little over an hour.

Enjoy!

Now I realize how un-fancy all of the restaurants I previously thought were fancy… are. That is a difficult sentence. ANYWAY, I really want to go to a REAL fancy restaurant now.

Play with sand! SO COOL! I just wasted the past 45 minutes playing with it…
