Friday Folderol

HEEEEY YOOOU GUUUUYSS!!

Happy Friday!

I've been a bit scattered this week, flitting from one project to the next, so allow me to dump some of my various and unrelated goodies on you:
 
First, add one more cutie to my newborn photography portfolio:

This is Caleb, my good friend (and wrecky minion) Julianne's newborn son. He was actually born Halloween night, and I took this photo when he was 5 or 6 days old. He was not a happy model, though, so I only got a handful of smiley peaceful images from our two hour session - and this is my favorite, because BATMAN HAT.


Yesterday John and I went to our annual viewing of the Festival of Trees at our local art museum. (SO. MANY. SPARKLIES.) I should be posting my favorites soon, but in the mean time, here's an ornament closeup I've been playing with:

I'm not sure I'll make it to Thanksgiving before breaking out one of the trees, either. Urge to decorate... OVERWHELMING.

Ahem.

In honor of tomorrow's Doctor Who special:

These ladies are ROCKING IT.
You can see more pics of them at Fashionably Geek!

I of course (of course!) have been playing the new BioShock DLC, Burial at Sea, but I've only found a few hours for it so far.  Even on "easy" the combat seems a lot harder than I remember, but the new Old Man Winter vigor is pretty cool. [pun intended]

The story is... well, confusing, but so was the first one. Parts of it feel a little TOO pandering, though, like when a random stranger calls Elizabeth "little Songbird." I think I'm only halfway through, though, so no official judgements yet. (Besides, if you're as much of an Infinite fan as I am, then of COURSE you have to play this.)

This week John and I finished all the MLP episodes Netflix has on streaming, PLUS all of the Phineas & Ferb ones, which we've been watching for ages. Guess we need a new cartoon now! Any suggestions? (I've already watched Avatar - and loved it. I wish they'd add the new TMNT series to streaming; I really want to see that!)

And finally, because it's Friday and this post just isn't random enough, allow me to introduce you to John's new favorite Youtube musicians: two guys who play in a pizza parlor in Salt Lake City:

John listens to their videos every week while he's moving Sunday Sweets over to SquareSpace (we write everything in Blogger, then copy posts over to SS), so now he's gotten me hooked. John's even half-jokingly suggested a road trip to go see them, since Salt Lake was one of our favorite stops on our last book tour. Not gonna lie: tempted.

Oh, and if you like that, then go listen to this one next. WOW. John played it for me last night, and I had to stop what I was doing and just listen. It's distractingly beautiful.


I hope to have a fun crafty project for you next, but 'til then, have a great weekend, guys!


PS - I always forget to mention it, but I also post lots of my favorite geeky finds on Pinterest & Facebook! So if you're looking for more goodies you can't find here on the blog, give those a follow!
