Dozens of pictures have made their way onto the Gallery today.
Nine new images in the Natural Beauty gallery showcase the flowering plantlife right outside our front door. There are also three new subgalleries for Sakura-Con 2003, a few pictures from a recent pinewood derby in which Alex competed, and more pictures from around the house, including a photographic explanation of why Wendi’s van looks the way it does during early spring:
I knew I forgot to do something last night. *sigh*
PAST: – Spring is in the air (so break out the Allegra, Claritin and other antihistamines). From freshly-mown grass to blossoming flowers, this season has many of the most invigorating odors. And since the sense of smell seems most closely tied to memory, I’m sure that whenever you get whiff of, say, a warm spring rain, you’re immediately reminded of times gone by. Aren’t you?
PRESENT: – What’s a scent that you deliberately seek out when you want to improve your mood or make an already good day even better?
FUTURE: – I’ll make this one quick, easy and silly. “Today I’m unveiling my new fragrance, an intoxicating and sensual blend of pheromones and extracts that I call ________.”

Ladies and gents, sit yourselves and let me tell you a (short) story, a story about a woman, a woman with desires, desires such as love, love of many kinds, one of which is linky love.
The woman is my good friend Mari, and the linky love is for her thingie (not blog, not journal) known as Intellectual Orgy.
I can hear you saying, “Well, that’s a cool name, but lots of blogs have cool names.” I can also hear Mari insisting, “It’s not a blog, it’s a thingie, dammit!” Whatever you want to call it, I am here to tell you that it’s more than just a clever name.
Mari’s a woman of intelligence, playfulness and wit, not to mention that she holds the title of Imperial Princess of Cute. She also has a way of turning the objects of her frustration into amusing reading. (Did I mention she’s quite comfortable with the more colorful elements of language? Perhaps I should.) Her weekend write-ups are the stuff of legend. So far she hasn’t written about any orgies, but you never know, do you?
“What,” you ask, “could such a remarkable woman possibly need from me?” That’s a good question with a simple, silly answer: She needs your links.
You see, until her thingie reaches a (small) critical mass of incoming links from other websites listed in BlogShares, nobody can buy shares in it.
I could have simply begged you to link her site without good cause, but instead I took the moral high ground — or at least middle ground — and gave you as many good reasons as I could name for you to actually link to, read and enjoy her efforts. I would not lead you astray in this, my friends.
Do it for me. Do it for The Imperial Princess of Cute. But most of all, do it for yourself. You won’t be sorry.
And when the time comes, you can buy shares in her thingie.
Because everyone’s been positively dying to know, here are my D&D stats.
Str: 7
Int: 13
Wis: 11
Dex: 5
Con: 6
Chr: 14
I’ll let the gamer-geeks in the audience determine what this all means, if anything…
Just a few tidbits, really.
Huzzah! Now that it’s May, I can buy shares again!
Confused? Just take a look at what this website is worth.
Now I just need to figure out how we can drive up the value of Mari’s thingie so I can buy shares in it…
