DJ & Jager Returns

I made a sequel to the DJ & Jager comic. Click on photo below for a larger version.

I obviously need to stop procrastinating studying. I have a practice GMAT exam tonight through Kaplan, I'm just glad it's a practice exam.

DJ & Jager Comic

My parents sent me a bunch of photos of DJ, their new lab, with Jager his brother, who visited for a playing session. They're so cute. I couldn't resist doing something with them. (click on the photo below for larger versions)

P.S. My brother and I never acted like this.

Parents?

So...back in January, my parents found out about my photo blog, even though I didn't tell them about it. I wasn't trying to be secretive. I didn't believe I had posted anything they'd be interested in. But it had me wondering whether they read this blog as well. They haven't mentioned anything about reading it. Yet it is linked to my original website, right under the link for the photo blog. So now I am trying to remember if I posted anything on this blog that I didn't particularly want my parents to know about. Probably. But the reason for them to not know is so that they won't worry them about my future behavior. But even if they had known what I did, I haven't felt unusually smothered with parental concerns. Does that mean I'm in good shape? Does it mean I've finally matured in their eyes, and they know they don't have to worry about me? Or does it mean that I didn't realize their parental concerns in the past were really a catalyst of one of my blogs. Or maybe they just don't read this blog, and they really don't know anything outside of what I tell them. Then again I didn't realize Ryan was secretly reading my blog until he 'fessed up. So who knows...

Eulogy

I was trying to think of some thing to say for Nicoli, who passed away on Friday. My mom just sent me this today, and I think it says it expresses what I feel much better than something I made up. For Nicoli who is now with Duke...

Amazing photoshop....

It's amazing what photoshop can do. We've all heard about the edits for media and entertainment. But I was still amazed what someone did with one of my photographs. There's a "fix my pic" group on Flickr, where people can can post photos they would like to have corrected or artistically interpreted. Here's the result for mine:

Keys to Your Heart

I got this one from Daphnee...




You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.
