Homepage

Working on a homepage for fresaj.com. It’s getting late and I’m not thinking straight, so I’m going to close the lid of the laptop and work on it another day. I actually have code written, so at least is a little closer to being done. Since I’m working this weekend, I’ll hopefully find a bit of time to work on it a bit more. I’m skeptical that it will actually happen, but crazier things have been known to occur.

Good Night!

oh ya, I’m on the schedule to teach in October! Now I just need students to sign up for my section.

Brillant idea?

I’ve been trying to figure out what to write about in this blog. The other day, while looking through a bunch of old files, I ran across a journal that I kept for a junior high writing class. I briefly though that it would be interesting to share some of the writing. But after reading some of the initial topics I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon. I do plan to read through the notebook, but for the most part its rather embarrassing. There might be a few good stories, since the course requirement was to write at least one page a day. Even now I recall some of those pages as pure BS. Lets just say that the struggle to be creative and inventive when you’re in 12 or 13 doesn’t inspire much in terms of deep thought. There are topics that would be interesting to pursue, but a lot of random teenage noise.

Playing around with photographing my lamp. Uploaded the other photo of the day images to flickr, but decided to only post one of them to the blog this week.

Goofing around with the pup. He freaks out a bit when I bring out the camera, so I grabbed him and pointed the camera up.

Burr, it’s cold outside. Want to turn up the heat in my house even though it says its set at the right temp.

October Weekend

Blues and BBQ festival this weekend. Enjoyed music, wings and beer last night and am working up the motiviation to go over for a few hours this afternoon. I’ve had a few busy weekends over the past few months that spending a day at home just chilling out is nice. Though I’ve spent most of the day watching shows like Jurassic Fight Club on the History Channel, I don’t feel like I’m wasting time yet, but the weather is beautiful. Maybe a hike around a nearby park with the dog is a better choice. Then cap off the night watching MU play Nebraska… Go Mizzou!

The decision about flooring is on hold for a while. Pricing for getting bamboo installed is out of my league and I don’t know folks that would be willing to help with installation.

My current creative project involves crocheting plastic grocery bags. My inspiration is the design found on this website. I’m using a smaller hook, so my stitches are not as bulky. I’ll post a photo after I finish up the project. Just need to add the handle loops, side pockets and trim.
