Smart

The song Smart, by Girl in a Coma. Amusingly, I first saw this video in an Arby's, on the music channel on the TV in the restraunt. And I fell in love with it. :)

Belated Holidays

Just to keep the spirit alive in your minds and hearts, I am planning on stuff to finish my Valentine's Day and New Year celebartion. It will be as soon as I can!

Love

Hello Everyone!


Well, as you probably know, yesterday was Valentine's Day.


And some of you, like me, my not have a lover of any kind to receive valentines from or give valentines to.


And some of you, like me, may only be receiving valentines from your doting family members.


And some of you may not have anyone to receive valentines from at all.


Well, dear readers, my heart goes out to you. I wish I could give you all a valentine! But since I can't quite do that (though I'd like to do something special; I have to post it later, though, sorry), remember that you are not alone, and there is One who loves you eternally, whose love exceeds all others: God. He loved you so much, he sent His Son to die for you. And his Son loved you so much, he agreed to do it! To take upon himself all the sins of the world. To die on the cross for us.


I pray that you know that you, my readers, are loved very, very much, and this Holiday season, though you might feel left out of the festivities, you are never left out in God's Kingdom.

Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV)

John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (NIV)

1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. (NIV)

1 John 4:10 “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”  (NIV)

1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (NIV)


John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (NIV)

Valentine's Day Heart

Well, I realize this is a bit late, but Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :)

To celebrate, we watched crime shows, ate chocolate, made valentines, etc. and I personally decided to color in an anatomically correct heart and post it on the wall. I've added a heart print out sheet if you want to join in on the fun (late though it may be).


(Note: the Heart below can be found here. The heart to the left is from Gray's Anatomy and was found on this site here.)

Antiquated

I have an interesting secret. Care to hear?

When I was a little girl, I joined a ballet class. I didn't like it at all. The teacher was strict, the dance was strict, and everything was frilly, girly, difficult, and operated in a manner alien to my own.

In my later years, I grew to appreciate it more (with some help from a much nicer dance teacher, annual Nutcracker viewings, and Princess Tutu [that last one, BTW, a much better show than it sounds. XD]).

Well, anyway, here are some of the oldest recordings of Ballet performances I've ever seen (and I'm pretty sure are some of the oldest in existence). Enjoy!

The upper one is from 1903, but shorter. The lower one is the same dance, but from 1906, and longer.  



Prodigy--One Love

Music from the movie Hackers. Not sure about the movie (yet...), but I'm in love with the soundtrack. It makes me feel like hacking. :)

Analyzing the World

The beautiful world of robot minds.

Cog

An awesome Rube Goldberg-like system, consisting of car parts, from a UK Honda commercial.

Hiatus (again. -_-)

Apologies, my dear readers, but I have been exceedingly busy these past few weeks and will continue to be for quite a few weeks longer.

I would like to make it clear that I will still Post, but much more infrequently, so don't be worried if there's no activity on my blog for several days. I just thought I'd warn you, fair readers; thank you for your support so far! A single page view makes a world of difference to me!

God Bless,
