Day 185

Before midnight? Bam!

Picture: "What's going on?!"

Background: This is the reason we were all at the 'rents! (well, mostly the reason). My nephew got baptized yesterday and we had a barbecue afterparty. Here you can see the priest pouring the water from the baptismal font on his forehead. He was really well behaved and didn't make hardly any noise all throughout Mass. I swear, that boy is cute. Seriously. I've got a lucky sister to have such a cute kid. The best part was that they dressed him up in one of those suits that you would see some sort of concert pianist play in, with little tails and everything.

today's video is more returning to childhood...

Day 184

DESTROY US ALL DESTROY US ALL DESTROY US-sorry

Picture: 60

Background: My Dad turns sixty on the 25th. Technically it's today as of writing this post, but we celebrated on Sunday because the whole family was over. The reason for that will be explained tomorrow, though, because today's post is going to be about his birthday. These numbers are eight feet tall. The hilarious part of these things is that my dad actually helped my older brother load the plywood onto his truck. Earlier that day, when my dad was talking over the phone to the same brother, he (brother) said that he was doing yardwork. Which was partially true, because he was doing work in the yard, spray painting the numbers.

today's video wants you to do the monkey with it...

Day 129

For some reason I searched the number 129 to see if it was prime (it's not, it's apparently semiprime), and it's actually the sum of the first ten primes. It's even a happy number! Seriously, where do mathematicians come up with this stuff.

Picture: Sorry, flower-namer, I actually know this one!

Background: It's a marigold! Emphasis on the "gold". Then again, it does look merry. This is probably one of half a dozen flowers I can name by sight. I took this (along with what will probably be the next few days' worth of pictures) on Saturday after working outside for a bit.

For today, I went to work for my brother that's closest in age to me. He does catering around here, and today's job was a 400 person deal. I haven't gotten up at 6 in the morning in quite awhile, and I hope I don't have to until July when I work for him next.
