Introducing "Asbestos Strike"

I found this little project over at Hilly's (SnackiePoo).

Let's make a band:
1. The first article title HERE is the name of your band.
2. The last four words of the very last quote HERE Is the title of your album.
3. The third picture HERE, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Now take the pic, add the band name and title to it, then post it.
5. Be sure to leave a comment so that I can check out your album...

The title, "Asbestos Strike", was not the first article I got, the first one was an actual music label but I decided not to use it in case that might upset them. The title of my album, "they had courage enough", was from a quote by Thomas Fuller. And my photo came from here, I did square it up a little to make it fit.

I Barely Passed The Internet Quiz...

Wow, it was pretty hard. Some geeky stuff in there (and that's not even the parts I got wrong).

26 Things Photographic Scavenger Hunt for May 2007

So there is a new 26 Things Photographic Scavenger Hunt for May 2007, they only do this every few months so I'm glad to catch it in advance.

It's a photo meme-like thing where they list 26 things and you need to take/post photos related to the topics. It's way open to interpretation and I like the idea of it so take a look and take some photos...

White Faced Monkey - Thursday Photo Challenge

Another photo-meme. Today the Thursday Photo Challenge is Wildlife so I'm using this White-Faced Monkey photo from Montezuma, Costa Rica.

If you look very close (just below/by the neck) you can see there is a (very tiny) baby on the back of the monkey!

Speaking of Costa Rica, here's a information page from Time for Kids about Costa Rica...

Flowers - LensDay

So today's LensDay dealt with flowers so this week so I submitted this photo that I took in Egypt. I thought most of the flowers from there seemedso bright and beautiful. The other people on the trip compared it to flowers in Hawaii but since I've never been there I attributed it to the Egyptian mystique...

I just thought they all seemed so bright and beautiful....

My 101 in 1001 list update

So I've definitely fallen behind in my 101 in 1001 list (23% of my tasks done and used 32% of my time.). I've got more than a few things lined up in the next few months.

Six months to live.

Kyra asked these questions on her blog. She actually asked them two different ways: If you had six months and what if everyone had 6 months.

If you knew you only had six months to live, and the world was guaranteed to end for you - how would you live?

I'm single and have no dependents so that really makes the options easier for me than some people. Sure I'd hook Mom up with some of my savings but she's probably fine without it so that makes this a lot more fun list for me than it might be for some others.

I'm not going to go the route if it was six months for everyone, I'd have to assume it'd be a bad place to be (chaos and all). But the new series 3 Moons Over Milford (free at iTunes at this point in time) is kind of a end of the world scenario (the moon breaks into three pieces in a degrading orbit) where it's not chaos, I'd like to think it'd go that way.

So I finally did a 26 things project...

So I finally did a 26 things scavenger hunt. I just noticed they were offering one for this month (they only do it every few months) and I thought I had a lot of Egypt photos that fit the plan so I used those (a few I had to stretch the definitions a little).

Here's the photos of the 26 things that I used...

FYI - this also completes one of my 101 in 1001 items list!!!

The Friday Five

Did they ask all the meat questions on a Friday during lent on purpose?!?

From The Friday Five.

Most useless thing

When I grow up...

So I saw this at Amy's and thought it'd be interesting to do. I scored pretty much in the area I thought I'd hit. I think the only reason I hit so high in the Journalism and English areas is because blogging influenced some of my answers to the writing and expressing questions. I'm surprised that biology didn't show up higher but who knows how they figure the out. There was no computer or education areas in my results (or any that I've seen) so I'm assuming it's not an option.
