Becoming an obsession

I found these cool bird photographers from Tiawan. Their shots are absolutely amazing. I think I would really like doing that. I want to learn more about birds. I think it would be really cool to be able to see a bird and know what it is and, also, to be able to know what it is by its song. I have been entering this Nikon camera contest (it ended today), and if I win the camera (completely doubtful), I want to start doing this. Here are a few pictures from that flickr sight.

Birds, Knives, and Cocoa Puffs

Sorry about the lag in posting reader. I will try to do better in the future.

Toby and I (well, mostly Toby working and me directing...hey, I had homework) finally put some stuff up around the house to make it feel more homey. One of the things we put up was a shelf in our bedroom and I love it. It really transforms our bedroom from a "college student" room to "married couple" room. I took a few pictures to let you in all the shelffy glory:



and



It was pretty exciting to finally put up some home accents. We also put up some more pictures, a coat rack, AND curtains. All thanks to Toby really.

I am really into birds right now. I got a duvet cover for our wedding with birds on it:


and a friend of ours got us those cool bird bookends. They are pretty awesome as well.




To the knives. My brother keeps bugging me about getting my cats on this website. But if they are laying down sleeping and I come up to them they try and get in my lap. It's actually rather adorable, but not so good for trying to put stuff on them. However, for Christmas I got my dad the Winchester® Bowie Knife he asked for. It came on the day we were leaving to visit and as I was unpacking it I got a bit of a candid shot of Annyong

She did have her arm around it which was better, but by the time I found my camera the photo-op was practically over.


I think it was probably better left in her paws then in this mans:

I love Baltimore

For Christmas Will got Toby and me the first season of "The Wire" TV series which is awesome. We got it last Saturday and I stayed in my pajamas until about 7:30 watching the episodes. When we finished the first season, we went out and bought the second one and we are slowly (trying to make them last) working our way through those. If you haven't seen the show, you should rent them, but watch out, they are addictive! (the show takes place in Baltimore)

Here is another reason I like Baltimore:



is she not hilarious and cute?? She's from Baltimore too!
