I'm sure many have heard of this site, A Year of Evenings. It stemmed from their original concept, A Year of Mornings, which was then published in a book. The two friends, Stephanie Congdon Barnes and Maria Alexandra Vettese, who live 3191 (driving) miles apart, each take a photo and share them side by side. They do not plan before hand, and the result is breathtaking.
When I was little, I would watchSesame Streetevery day. (Who didn't?) It even stayed in my after school tv line-up until 2nd or 3rd grade, believe it or not. Of all the songs they sing, even the theme song, this is the one I remember the most. I have no idea why. It will randomly pop into my head every now and again.
In honor of Count, I titled a side bar section after what I call that song, "1, 2, 3 count!" and have placed all of the applications with numbers in there: a 12-hour clock in my time zone, a 24-hour clock (which is for my benefit, as I still cannot tell time this way - despite being married to a soldier) and finally, a countdown to the Winter Olympics! Go snow! It's all the way at the bottom on the left.
batty batty batty batty batty bat 1 2 3 count!
p.s. I like colors!
p.p.s. I FINALLY figured out how to embed a video. (obviously).
*Update: I just did a search on when this episode first aired; November 18, 1985, episode 2096. That link is a nice flowchart of all the skits on that episode... and I remember most of them! haha! wow. Some lovely memories! This episode was monumental, as we met Snuffy in real life for the first time!
This particular skit was one of my favorite ways they showed letters:
I cannot find a video of this right now.. if anyone has seen one, please let me know!
As part of Kimberly Brimhall's Bling Out Your Blog class, I am overhauling my blog, so excuse my dust. I just made it very simple and clean, a new template for now. Some of the photos I've posted are a little bit cut off on one side. I'll adjust them soon.
Right now... we just finished watching The Last Samurai - I love this movie. Pete says it'd be more accurate if Tom Cruise were French. :)
Right now... I'm feeling a bit like the sausage links we had for dinner.
Right now... I'm learning about a free photoshop-like program. I just downloaded it. We'll see.
Right now... I wish I was a cooking genius.
Right now... I'm praying our house will sell.
Right now... I'm missing my kittie.
Right now... I'm overwhelmed at the 235 photos I took at the concert this last weekend. I filled the little memory card.
Right now... I wish I was tired so I wouldn't be up til 2 like usual.
Right now... I'm counting the days we have left in this place.
