| That hook shaped thing is the point of the sharp spring that's been poking into my hip for the past two days. |
Alright, so there are the pictures. Now, you'll have to forgive me for a few posts with images included because I need to get a feel for how they're going to incorporate themselves with this new style. There's enough room for me to stagger them as before at 1024x728 resolution, but at 800x600 it's really kind of horrible. My solution "for now" has been to just stick them all at the top with a size that fits a maximized browser window at 800x600 without looking terrible. I'll figure something out in the next few posts, though. I just don't feel like dealing with it right at the moment. I'm thinking I'll probably just end up going back to the standard staggered pictures and hoping that it just isn't too terrible at 800x600. As always, you can click on the above pictures to see the full-sized image.

| For any of you who don't quite believe me when I say I was riding my unicycle around the block yesterday, here's my unicycle. |
With that bit of housekeeping out of the way, there's really only one thing that I've done so far today that's worth mentioning. It was such a beautiful day today when I got the mail (in my housecoat, of course) that I figured I should probably at least start the motorcycle. So it started just like that and I grabbed some snow and a rag and cleaned it off a bit, picked a couple leaves out of the engine area. Then I figured that I may as well go fill up the tyres and gas tank. While I was at it, I thought, why not take the bike out for a ride. A few blocks down the road I thought, "Hmm, maybe I'll go visit Gramma and Grandpa." So, that's what I did. And I had some toast and dough-naughts and played them a couple songs on the guitar, then figured I should probably come home before the sun came down and rush hour really started up.

| My little cousin, Corrina, gave me this valentine and I just thought that I had to post it because it really doesn't make a lot of sense. |
So, I hopped on the bike and set off and had to get onto the Crowchild bridge over the river. So I got onto the bridge from the 10th street area and then after discovering that the bridge was somewhat busy I said, "You know what, screw it!" and made up my mind that I wasn't even going to try to change lanes to get across the bridge. I figured that I might as well just take the extra couple minutes out of my day and go drive down to the lights and execute a safe left turn there. It's just seriously not worth the stress and hassle to get across that stupid bridge. So I'm in one piece and so is the motorcycle. I got home and my hands were prettty cold and that's pretty much all of the excitement that I've had today. Oh - I smell like gasoline now. I hope Mandy doesn't mind.
Oh, and I guess to go along with the first picture... I've gotten seriously sick of dealing with my poor hip being stabbed all night long. Last night I ended up having to put a pillow in the hole so that I couldn't feel the pointy spring anymore. When I got back from my trip, I got mother downstairs and we turned the mattress upside down. This is actually the second time that we've turned it upside down. The first time was because the springs were getting too weak and it was all droopy in the middle and hurting my back. I think it's getting to be just about time to go to the store and buy a nice new mattress. Unfortunately, those are expensive. Anyone wanna buy me a nice new mattress?
Update: Okay, those pictures looked completely terrible the way they were, so I'm gonna give this old method a shot and see just how awful it really is at the poorer resolution. Don't forget - they're still clickable!
Update #2: After checking this out at 800x600, I've decided that it looks perfectly fine, so I'm really happy about that and I don't need to deal with it much anymore. Hooray!
