melo on twitter

oops, a month

I've been trying to find a better way to post my twitter updates on here, as I do a lot of that now too.. I have a widget on the side with my recent updates, but it isn't formatted very well.

I just got back from Austin, TX for the HOW design conference. It was great, if you're interested in print, web, graphic or multimedia design, I highly recommend going. A lot of people told me I was going to loooove Austin b/c its like Bloomington, but better. It was nice, but I think my impression was tainted by the fact that it was 106 degrees the week I was there. yuck. So I didn't really want to be outside. I'm also not a big fan of dust, and it was *dusty*. I did take a few photos around town.

my bookmarks list

it has gotten out of hand. I use folders and organizing lines to keep everything in order, but lately its grown to unmanageable proportions. So enjoy some links, i've become a hoarder of them lately. If I've already posted some of these, I apologize - I've lost control.

through the viewfinder

I saw an interesting idea for photos on flickr called 'through the viewfinder'. You take a picture through the viewfinder of another camera, which is a lot harder than it sounds. It made some very neat pictures, especially when I used my polaroid camera.

a few more knitting projects

photos, prepare yourself

I've finally updated my picasa account with the photos I've taken over the last 6 months or so. Here are some photos from my recent trip to Florida

big news

I went to Florida a couple weeks ago and came back engaged :) I'll try to post the photos from my trip soon, I had a lot of fun photographing pelicans and surfacing dolphins.

I've never been the kinda girl who dreamed of her wedding since she was born, so actually planning this wedding may be more difficult than for normal women.. I'm excited about the being-married part, just not the planning and organizing part. I don't care for the logistics or fine details. I woke up in a panic this morning to the realization that we'll need centerpieces for the tables, and I have no idea what "my colors" should be. so how on earth could I create centerpieces without "my colors"? and the wedding isn't for at least another year. i'm starting to understand the appeal of eloping to vegas.
