A Magical Adventure




Because I decided to get an annual pass to Disneyland at the start of the year, I've been finding myself there several times over the last month. Today, however, was probably the longest tour of duty that I have yet engaged in, and it is with great magic that I present the event log for the day.

Randomly Important Photos for Historical Importance



EDIT: JK I AM USING PICASA NOT FLICKR

Against my better judgment I have decided to put every single photo that I have ever taken since 2003 up on Picasa for archival purposes. To that end I am starting from 2003 and slowly making my way to the present day, and I invite all of you lovely people to accompany me on my journey through time and space.

For now there's a small chunk from 2003 itself up, including some from France. I have a limit to how many MBs of photos I can put up a month and these old film digitizations take up a lot of space, but I'll post here whenever I upload more.

Also if you're viewing this on Blogger, I changed my layout. What do you think, America? If you're viewing this on facebook, then you're lazy!

As for an update on the holiday cards, the sent me FOUR. I'm still gonna send some out but I haven't decided what to do yet, so that's why no one has gotten any. Patience!
