I have a LiveJournal. I’ve had a LiveJournal for years, and I’m pretty active on it. I even run a few communities.

There is one community that has a pretty cool concept. What you do is show everyone a day in your life, with pictures. Basically, from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed, you document your entire day by taking photos.

It’s actually pretty cool.

So I did one yesterday, and I decided to make a photo slideshow so I can post it here. It’s pretty lame — I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of that stupid zoom-y thing. But eh.

It’s kind of nice not to have to do yardwork or have to fix up the outside of the building … but other than that … townhouses suck.

Especially when the guy next door decides to do some home improvement projects.

As we do most Sundays, Justin and I went over to his parents’ house for dinner and to watch Deadwood (Six Feet Under when it’s “in season”). Since we had really nice weather today, we decided to eat outside.

During our meal we heard a bird nearby. Too nearby. To make a long story short, we discovered this little guy on the ground near the pool deck.

So I walk into the bedroom to start getting ready for work. Nougat is sitting on the bed, staring up at something on the wall. I go over by her to try to figure out what she’s staring at (they like to stare at bugs).

Well. Just watch the video.

After hitting up Great America we went geocaching with a few friends.

This was the first time for all of us, so we just hit two “one star” places nearby. It’s pretty fun; I’m actually half considering picking up a GPS unit and going more often.

I apologize for the video quality in both videos; I was using my CoolPix and kept changing the settings around.

Also:
I’ve been compressing my videos as per this 3ivx tutorial. I’m getting like, insane file sizes. Just look how large this one is, for only about three minutes of video. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

Today was pretty busy, at least for the first part of it.

We went over to Six Flags Great America to get our season passes. I have a Six Flags credit card and earn points for every dollar I charge. I finally built up enough points and got both me and Justin a free pass.

Of course, you can’t go to SFGAM without riding a few rides. It was nearly dead; the longest we had to wait was about 15 minutes.

We didn’t stay that long, less than two hours.

[edit] It was brought to my attention that the ride I call the “Tilt-a-Whirl” in the video is actually the “Whirlygig.” Sorry. I just knew that it had the word “whirl” in it.

Oh, and sorry for the crappy audio editing on the first (Six Flags) video. I don’t do that good.
