Halloween

You (dear reader) should be this for Halloween:

Mostly for Olivia : My Haircut

When I got my haircut, I took some before-and-after-ish pictures, which you (Olivia) mentioned that you wanted to see.  Here are the good matches:

The Fourth

I'm supposed to post "the fourth photo of my fourth album". I'm not sure exactly what that means, so I'll just pick some.

This is the fourth photo from my phone.  It's from somewhere in the Wilk up at BYU, I think.

This is the fourth picture on my iPod.  I believe my dad took this with his phone.  I'm thinking that it was perhaps at a cub scout olympics, or something like that, although I'm not quite certain.

This one probably qualifies best. This is technically the fifth photo from the fourth folder of pictures from my digital camera, but, because it is almost identical to the fourth, and since the fourth was not a very good picture, I chose to post this one instead.

Snowflakes

I love making paper snowflakes.  But hey, if you're going to make any, make sure you fold it first in half, then half again, then—here's the key—thirds.  That'll result in a snowflake with a pattern based on sixes, rather than based on fours or eights.  This is important because that's how water crystalizes.  Hexagonally, I mean.  It's because of the shape of the water molecule I believe.

It's a peeve of mine; I don't believe in "Creative License", especially with reality!  I mean, a level of inaccuracy is to be expected, because, heck!, I'm not God.  But something as simple as 4 instead of 6?  C'mon!

In elementary school we made snowflakes all the time, y'know?  I remember getting so annoyed in, like, 2nd grade (or maybe 4th or something like that), we did snowflakes during recess, 'cause it was snowing or something, so we couldn't go outside.  Everyone was folding quarters, then going for it, and I was like, What on Earth are you doing!?  Have you ever seen a quarters-snowflake!?  No!!  And it's a friggin square!!!

I got all worked up over the stupidest things back then, huh?  Isn't it funny that sometimes people don't change at all?

(By the way, if you have flash player 6, and you want to make some online—no mess!, no folding!—you can go to snowflakes.barkleyus.com).
