A photographic grab bag

I don't anything / I don't know who to be

I spontaneously decided to shave my head last night. No, I wasn't drunk. I have tried to find some motivation for having done it, but I haven't found anything convincing. My head does radiate heat a lot more efficiently now, though, and that's a good thing this time of year. Below is a truly hideous collage of the process. It took about two hours (or however long Rushmore is, which I was watching or listening to).

To get that disturbing image out of your head, here is a photo I took of a stag beetle that I found. I will probably submit it or something similar to this week's Farktography contest.

If that is also not something you want to look at, here is a photo of the ACES Library near where I work. The colors really did come out just about that poorly since I didn't bother trying to white balance properly.

Not a lot of news to report. My quartet came in 18th out of 22 at the international competition in Salt Lake City a couple of weeks ago. Quite disappointing, but in retrospect, our hopes for a top-ten finish were rather unreasonable. It was a great experience, in any case. The venue we sang in seats 21,000, and there were around two or three thousand there for the collegiate competition. It was also webcast, which is sort of cool. These are some photos from the collegiate competition, and this page and the next have some photos of my quartet. Hilarious!

Oh, and I took some Joseph's wedding, for those of you who know him. I had a great time out in California. I spent quite a bit of time driving around the California countryside with Chris Lamb in the car we rented. It's a beautiful place...
