[Project:ThreeSixFive] Day [XXIV].

24 is the atomic number of Chromium.

My wifey and I babysat today. It was pretty cool. I also went out to the church and sat in on the main media man to see what he does there and how he works, etc. It was a great afternoon!

For today:

I'd like to say that this was an exercise in using something other than my camera and that it is thoroughly inspired, but it's not. It is an exercise in using a different camera, yes, but that's just because I didn't want to use the camera I normally use, blah, bleh.

I'm messing round with cut-out-looking characters. It'll be nice once I get a better grasp, but after an hour or so, I'm fairly happy with this chap. Even though he has no arms.

Just watched The Science of Babies. It was great! We're now watching Stephen Fry in America. Which is also great! Even though I know - deep down - that a lot of the things that are on this show are nonsense. "I'm in America. Look - a McDonalds." Or something.

Tomorrow, I'll have a picture by - or link to - another inspirational person. I've got a whole load of images I could pick from now, but I'll look for an exceptionally good one.

Peace.

[Project:ThreeSixFive] Day [XXIII].

23 is the only prime number that is made up of two consecutive prime numbers.

I figured since I'm going to be posting a lot of numbers, I'd try and find something interesting about them.

For today:

The dog rolled over in his sleep. It was pretty cute.

There was some heavy wind last night. Some of the trees in the back garden are dead, so they were losing their limbs pretty happily last night. One of the limbs hit the house. It didn't do any damage, but the sound of it hitting the house sounded like one of the main trees snapping and cracking, so we legged it to the fireplace and huddled there for a bit.

We gave the puppy a trim. We opted for the 'looks like he's wearing pants now and has a huge head' look. Pulled it off pretty well, I'd say. You can't tell here, but he looks hilarious now. Pom pom head.

I also took a load of photos for my wifey - she's wanting to set up an Etsy shop for me :D She's amazing.

And small but orderly. This is my latest weapon lineup for the Dungeons and Dragons pixel tiny small weapons. From left to right: Bow and arrow, nunchucks, small hammer, big huge hammer, small axe, bug huge axe, spear, short sword, long sword. I don't know what's to come, but I know I'm about half way through.

That's all for now. My wifey's going to have a go on the laptop. She's great.

Peace.

[Project:ThreeSixFive] Day [XXII].

Great morning at church followed by a wonderful afternoon in - and my first visit to - Chuck E. Cheese! For a friend's 25th birthday*!

For today:

Deep in thought and concentration at Chuck E. Cheese. At this moment, I was the pilot of a helicopter that was inexplicably hovering in space, making sure aliens and asteroids didn't hurt the earth.

My wifey at Mr Cheese's. We had a blast! I love her so much. We just ran round like kids and played on all the games and got loads of tickets and bought sweets and pepsi.

Drove past a few deer on the way home. Not as many as usual, but my wifey turned the car round so I could get a few photos. Shame about the barbed wire fence, but the nicest shot I've had yet!

More done to the axe I started to do yesterday. I'm thinking of making the weapon set from Dungeons and Dragons in tiny pixel form.

*It was her 25th birthday, but she has a 6-year-old son.

The puppy's getting shots tomorrow - early night to prepare for that.

Peace.

[Project:ThreeSixFive] Day [XXI].

My wifey and I went to a leadership meeting today that lasted all day. It was pretty amazing.

We stopped on by and saw Melissa's friend's baby on the way home which was nice.

Now we're chillin' on the couch. My wifey made some amazing honey chicken for dinner. I love her.

For today:

On the way to Melissa's friend's mum's house, we drove past this huge building frame. Pretty big.

And then my drawing for this very busy day is this - a silhouette of a Battleaxe. Still working through the list of weapons to draw... Maybe I'll post it here sometime.

Peace.

[Project:ThreeSixFive] Day [XX].

A drawing at 11:40 is still a drawing...

For today:

It was one of those days where the fact that it's overcast means you can look at the sun without burning your retinas. I know the sun is a sphere and that there's no change in the shape of a sphere when you look at it from a different angle (like a cube or pyramid), but it's so far away that we can't perceive it as a sphere - only as a circle. I think that's really cool. It's just a 2D shape chillin' in our 3D world.

This is a fantastic example of keeping spiritually healthy. This was a huge oak tree that grew on the side of the road here between us and our grandparents. It was really big and looked really strong. Then, one stormy day, it was struck by lightning and fell down. Once it had fallen, something pretty huge came to light. Although it looked strong and although it looked like it would be able to take anything that was thrown at it, the inside had rotted out and the only strength to the whole tree was what could be seen on the outside. Nothing more.

Every time I pass it, it's a reminder that staying strong in our walk with God, keeping accountable to close friends and not trying to hide anything that will cause us to stumble are some of the best things we can do to stay honouring to God and bring glory to His Name. It's a reminder that everyone has things within that they don't want anyone else to see and sometimes keeping a brave face and seeming strong can get us through some things in the short term, but eventually the things we hide are brought to the light.

Don't hide things away. Find a good, trustworthy friend or two and hold yourselves accountable to what you struggle with and what you're dealing with. Don't keep a brave face and hope that it gets you through. Don't pretend like you have everything under control. No-one does.

Great Axe. Another weapon to the inventory...

Bed time. We've got a leadership meeting tomorrow and it's going on all day, so my wifey and I want to be up and ready for that!

Peace.

[Project:ThreeSixFive] Day [XIX].

I think I'm kidding myself with how fast this is going. XIX looks like a higher number than 19.

Well, I've maxed out my 4GB SD card. To be fair, it was half full when I got it, so it's not that impressive. It'll be a nice feeling to format it once I've put the images that aren't mine onto the home computer here.

For today:

Had to break out the Wide-Angle lens for this one. There was a huge fire that we saw on our way into town. The smoke looked like an angry cloud at first, but as we got closer and the trees got out of the way of the skyline, we could see it billowing up. Pretty scary.

I thought I'd start drawing my own renditions of the weapons that are in the Dungeons and Dragons book. They're generic swords and spears and things, but I figure it'd be fun. I'm working on the brother I posted yesterday, so I'll hopefully have something to do with that posted tomorrow.

I'm off to bed.

Peace.

[Project:ThreeSixFive] Day [XVIII].

Well. I learnt a shortcut for posting my blog. Unfortunately I found it before I had put in anything more than my title.

It's been a great day. We were going to go and see one of my wifey's best friends in Oklahoma, but as it transpired, we weren't able to. So we went on a big walk and got a cookie.

After that, we readied ourselves and went to church. It was an amazing night. This morning, we were listening to a podcast by Jimmy Evans (I think) about prophecy and ways to go about it. One of the things he talked about was prophetic prayer - praying about a person and asking God to reveal things about them and them praying about those things. It was pretty interesting. Long story short, I was honoured enough to be able to put that into practice tonight and it was amazing!

I've not drawn a whole lot but I've drawn something, at least.

For today:

I like this sign. I haven't been in this one yet, but it's a landmark I look out for when we're in this part of town.

We're looking into our family histories. I believe my surname comes from three brothers that were cast out of the Clan of Morres in Scotland. I figured I'd draw me and two of my brothers all Bravehearted up. This is the start of it because I didn't have much time.

Ha. Posted in time.

Peace.
