Part 3: More Pictures of Brian being stuck.

Just found some more pictures of Brian stuck in his truck. This time in a parking lot after church.

Part 2: Pictures.

So I remembered a few things that happened that I forgot in the last post. Most of these pictures come from our last shooting trip where Brian brought a girl for their first date...and we got super stuck up in the mountain. Way stuck. A huge truck tried to come save us, but it just got stuck. Here are the photos.

The target. It's bloody. Actually, it's tomato-y.

What happens when you go off-roading and you can't see the ruts.

More carnage.

You can't see the frame stuck on the mountain of dirt.

One more shot of what it looked like. Jake showed up with some more tow straps and we were out in like five minutes...after trying to get out for like an hour and a half.

The herd of deer that was walking along the ridge. It's not too clear, but it was 20x zoom hand-held.

Janet's face is priceless.

Blaze and Stealth rocking out with the #17 team in the nation. (p.s. we won again tonight in Moscow.)

A little while...

So with the new semester came an increased focus on studying, and a decrease in blog writing. ...That and now I don't work an 11-2am shift. Anyway, here's what has been up.

- Val, Blaze, Mer, and Auds came and visited last weekend. It was pretty much the best thing ever. They came up on Friday night, ate some icecream, played some games, and Val and Blaze stuck around for Saturday and rocked out at the USU LA Tech game with us. (pictures to follow when I get back to my laptop.)

- We beat LA Tech. We're now ranked 17th in the nation, and if we win tonight in Moscow and Saturday in Boise, we win the WAC regular season title outright. Pretty sweet.

- I rocked my bio test, my chem test, and another sociology test.

- I have a cold. Not a bad one, but it's definitely the first time that I have been sick in about 4 months.

- I am approaching hour 8 of my work day here in the labs. It's definitely been better/faster than any other 8 hour day ever.

- I learned to make TTV images in Photoshop. TTV means "Through the Viewfinder." The concept is that you take pictures with your digital camera through the viewfinder of an old-school camera to get the texture and noise of the old lenses. People do it legitimately like that, but I don't have an old camera so I have to fake it in Photoshop. Tell me if these aren't the coolest things ever.

It's pretty fun - and I am excited to see what photoshop can do for me.

- I think I am going to start selling some of my pictures. We'll see how that goes.

- I have access to the golf carts on campus. Enough said.

- I'm headed back up to Idaho for the weekend to hang out with the crew I haven't seen since Christmas. I'm definitely excited for that - as well as going to poky for Valentine's. Probably one of the best weekends ever.

- Pseudophedrine gives a nice little buzz.

- I have discovered about thirty things that I wish I had time to perfect (photography, studying, photoshop, cooking, sleeping). Too bad I don't have the time or the attention span to make it happen.

- It's time to study biology.
