I finally finished my lunar panorama, depicting, from left to right, the 12 men who have walked on the moon. i'm still working on a title, but I'm pleased at how it turned out. more photos to follow!

epic train nerdiness

ok, so as many of you know, i love train travel. to me, it is one of the best ways to travel, period. for the next month or so, Amtrak has added a really neat dome car to the Adirondack, the train which travels between montreal and nyc. it stops in plattsburgh, so today gammer and I stopped by the station, conveniently at the exact time the train was due in. ;) this is the dome car, with some spiffy advertising. I am absolutely DETERMINED to take a trip in this car within the next month. it's a necessity! :)

oh sheldon...

I love the big bang theory. but most especially jim parsons. he's magical. :) there's not a whole lot else to say. :)
