Well, today, the weather was beyond crappy so I stayed home all day. This is a relatively new phenomenon. I had a hard time figuring out what to do with myself and found myself flipping through the channels for the first time in... a long time. I watched 'Seinfeld', 'Friends', and the beginning of 'Jersey Girl'. Earlier today I took a walk in the snow storm with my camera filming myself banter about... who even knows. It was my desperate attempt to be creative in this crazy mixed up world.

The past few hours have actually been productive, though less entertaining than the rest of this entertainmentless day. Spell checker doesn't like the word "entertainmentless", but I do, so I'm keeping it.

Anywho, I did some photoshopping for my dad. We had a family picture that was taken this summer, and a month or so ago, I scanned it and cleaned it up. Well, today I simplified it into black and white lines with blank ovals over the faces. The ovals were then numbered to be sent off to my grandmother to be identified. Here is the finished product without the numbers:



There are 91 people (white ovals) in this picture. I realized that I would only be able to identify (by name) a handful of them, outside my direct family. Some people I might be able to say "So and so's daughter", or "His wife", but names would be a problem. So, in fact, this is how I look at my extended family. Blank faces that talk to each other while I eat some food and avoid them.

I suppose in all reality it's not that bad. I really don't AVOID them. It's just funnier that way.
