I was driving into work this morning remembering when my children liked nothing more than being pulled around the acreage in Texas in their little red wagon. It was very boring for me to cart them around the house and around the backyard in their wagon, but they really enjoyed it, so that's what I did. Today, I really missed the simplicity of that. I never thought I'd be one of those parents who 'looked back' with fondness & longing. I guess I was wrong.

I was at work late yesterday, so for giggles I booted the UX280P with my external laptop drive installation of kubuntu via USB. It made my naughty-bits tingle logging in. How very cool. Of course with the tether to the external drive, its functionality becomes greatly limited (unless I were to install it directly to the device) but way fun anyway - ubuntu handles wireless very well, and it was just fun to play with it, despite that I had nothing really to do with it once it was up and running.

During photogoot's visit, he was on a quest to photograph the arch. I stumbled upon this photograph of me quite by accident on his pbase photography site. I was likely trying to photograph him shooting the arch. It was during this part of the trip we were actually standing on the top-deck of the Casino Queen in zero-degree weather on a very windy night, accentuated by being elevated right on on the water.

You do have an eye. Thank you so much for the avatar.

I wished I had a girlfriend who was as creative as that artistically.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

And did your wish come true? Why do no longer wish it? Did you discover artistically creative girlfriends are real firecrackers? Why do you always do this to me and tell me only half the story?

because it's much more fun (to me) to keep you in the dark.

Aha! In that case, might I suggest not bringing up topics you don't wish to discuss. That way we don't waste each other's time. Thanks.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

You can suggest it, but I don't think it will do either of us much good.

It's so cute when the two of you bicker.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

It's also enjoyable chatting with those you care about. Know what I mean?

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

I think I know what you mean. You want ehowton to chat to you and whisper sweet nothings in your ear?

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

Yay, you like it! *does happy dance*

Like it? Why I used it to replace this one from photogoot during my D.C. trip:



I keep a repository of past/current avatars on my Gallery (http://darkvoyager.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=7786) server.

Thanks again!

Awesome idea about keeping a repository of icons; I always forget about the icons I've had to delete for space reasons and thus never re-upload them even when I find myself with space again.
