Sunbird Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Got some more bird photos to share! From a local cemetery that lots of birds love (4 photos): Spoiler Townsend's Solitaire. He might not be much to look at, but he's a very pretty singer. American Robin fluffing against the cold: Downy Woodpecker female. This is North America's smallest species of woodpecker. Red-tailed Hawk. I only got this one shot before he flew off because he didn't like me looking at him. From BYU campus, where I participated in a "Christmas Bird Count," a fun bit of citizen science that helps keep track of long-term trends in bird populations (4 photos): Spoiler Woodhouse's Scrub-jay with an acorn. Might be my best photo of a scrub-jay to date. Cedar Waxwing gulping down a berry: Another Cedar Waxwing posing prettily: Orange-crowned Warbler. I swear, this is the dumbest bird name of all dumb bird names. You can never see the orange crown unless you're literally holding the bird in your hand. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I try hard to understand what she is doing for her thesis, but in the end I only get the gist and none of the details. It seems super complicated to me... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I recently ran into a guy I knew from my parents’ church. The awkward teen I remembered had become a young man who looks a lot like Maui. I’m not the only one who had noticed. Turns out, he cosplays as Maui to visit sick kids in the hospital. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I met with a highly successful alumnus of my law school to learn a bit about his choice of practice area. I was worried that he would reject my request for a mentorship. When I asked he said yes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Just received a advance reader copy of what might be my favorite ongoing series! After reading and loving the first book of the series I follow the author on Facebook. The author (Brian Durfee) which seems to be a nice chap, offered me a adavance copy in exchange for a honest review. I still am keeping my preorder on it because I want to support authors. Here is a picture of it (e-copy was sent): Edited January 2, 2019 by Ammanas 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Today was my birthday. Yesterday, while I was away from my desk, my coworkers decorated it. Streamers across the cubicle walls, pom-poms on the edge of the shelf and on my computer monitor, felt animal stickers—it was pretty impressive, especially for an hour's work. Today, I got tons of birthday wishes, plus a few emailed cards featuring pugs. After work, I went out for dinner, came home, walked Bruce, and then had some popcorn and hot chocolate after opening the presents from my family. All in all, it was a good birthday. And since this time last year I was in a pretty bad work environment and didn't feel I had the funds to treat myself at all, this feels even more special. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just saw this animated visualization of the sin and cos of θ as θ sweeps out the full 360 degrees of a circle, and it's amazingly beautiful (spoilered below): Spoiler It's from the Wikipedia page about Sine, and I could watch it endlessly repeat for longer than I care to admit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeldancer Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I haven't commented in here in a while, but I think this deserves a mention. First weekend of April, Saturday afternoon, I'll be singing in General Conference! I've known for a while that it was a possibility that my choir could be doing that, but now I've finally had in confirmed and I am THRILLED! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 My place of employment wants to send me to a national conference in Washington DC this year! And on a much smaller note, I’ve shaken up my music rut with the discovery that rockabilly is awesome. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draginon Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Kind of late on this What I got for Christmas: Not really anything from my mom since we did the whole vacation thing and used purchases on Black Friday as presents. My dad got me a crystal Oswald the Lucky Rabbit while we were at Disney World. My sister got me a Pop of The Neighbor (Hello Neighbor) and Kingdom Hearts Mickey, MST3K Volume 1, two of the Doctor Who classic serials I'm still trying to get, Game of Death (Bruce Lee film), The Ticket (a film about a blind guy getting his sight back), Star Wars Epic Collection The New Republic 4 and, this one surprised me since I had barely added it to my Amazon wishlist before going on vacation so I was shocked she got it, the illustrated edition of Game of Thrones. Also got myself a couple things for Christmas. They were the final two parts of Digimon Adventure tri, the slipcover for MST3K Volume 31 (it comes in a tin so I'd rather not ruin it) and MST3K Volume 9 (technically not Christmas but it came during the slew of stuff from my sister) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 For reasons that amount to “long, profanity-inducing story,” I need to find a new apartment before the end of February. I sent out multiple viewing requests over the weekend...and heard back from three of them today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
