Day 46

I only have one word to say to you: GHOSTBUSTERS!!



I recently purchased the new Ghostbusters video game for my PS3 ... and ... I LOVED IT!! Granted ... I've already beat the game, definitely much too short ... and when you exit the game and then return to it, you miss some cutscenes ... but it was so much FUN!!! I highly recommend it! :O))

Day 45



Once again, I'm standing outside of my apartment complex looking at the flowering plants. :O)



I can not stress this enough ...



Macro, Macro, MACRO! :O>

Day 44

Let the rain come down!






I apologize for the blurry natures of some of these pictures ... as well as for the rain drops in the lens. :Op

Day 43

Lots of pictures to post today. So ... I apologize in advance for the pictorial diarrhea.




A cherry tree near where I work. I thought its trunk was neat. But then I got carried away (which does tend to happen from time to time). :O>



It's a bit of a rainy afternoon on the way home today. The wind is blowing ... so ... I took some pictures of flags (American flag and the Maryland State flag).



These are near the gate leading in/out of the building parking lot where the flags are. I thought they looked very interesting up close and personal.



Not red enough ... but still quite nice.



My boo-boo is darker ... but again, hard to tell. It's actually gone now. :O)



Look how low those clouds are hanging!



And the wind is picking up to. One of the memories I have of my dad was him telling me that if the wind is blowing hard enough to show the underside of leaves, a storm is brewing.



More shrooms!!! ... Different from the other ones I took a picture of).



I was trying to show how much brighter the new leaves were compared to the old leaves. Dunno if I succeeded or not.



And I end this pictorial diarrhea with pictures of a pine. :Op Hehe!

Day 42



SHROOOOOOOOOOOMS!!! :O)



It's kinda hard to see here ... but I gots a boo-boo from exercising yesterday. I think I had the strap for my Wii-mote too tight or something. *boggles*



I'm not sure what kind of plant these are ... but they look neat up close.



The leaves of this bush looked redder the day before. :O( Ah well!

Day 41



The clouds were very pretty today. So ... I tried to capture one and put it in my backpack. ;O))



This was also the day that I started the 30-day Challenge for the EA Sports Active game. I'm doing well thus far and have lost about 4 pounds as of June 23rd. Go me!

Day 40




This is me taking pictures of random things around my apartment cuz it was the weekend and I don't do much on weekends. So ... there ya go. Writing is, for the most part, a very important part of who I am. A pen ... a pencil ... and yes, even a back-scratcher, not to mention reference books: they are my TOOLS. :O))

Day 39

On a typical calendar, Saturday officially ends the week. Therefore, this will be my last update until ... well, this upcoming Saturday (or thereabouts). :O)



In honor of it being Saturday, and because I was in the mood to do so ... I made myself a roast with baby carrots and red potatoes. I think it turned out rather well. It's very easy to make a roast when all you have to do it put it in a roasting back, add the cut/raw veggies, add the seasoning mix (just add water) plop it in a 13x9 inch pan (or a pie pan if that's all you have ... hehehehe), put it on the bottom rack of an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and wait 2 hours. Et voila!



Yeah, I cooked up some French cut green beans, too. :O)



And no roast meal is complete without a roll (this is the 7-multi grain variety).



Yup. I'm very proud of this meal. And ... not only is it delicious, but it will make a good dinner for most of the week. :O)



Chocolate chip cookie chaser, anyone? :O))

Day 38



One of the things I love about where I live, there are a wide variety of flowering plants around. Spring really is a wonderful time to take pictures ... especially after it's rained. :O)



Yes, those three images are around and of the same bush. Can I one again reiterate how much I love the "macro" function! Yay for close-ups that aren't blurry! :O)



I tried with and without the flash ... I'm not sure which I like better. They both have something interesting.



I don't like pink ... but this is pretty. This is a picture of one cluster of flowers that are planted very near my bus stop.
