Friday Night Videos

It's a bit of old news, but it's still disappointing. Speedy recovery, Bono!


High Five Etiquette - I found this entertaining. It reminded me of the video made about the "F" word several years ago.


This one had me rolling! Hilarious! and clever.


This video hit the big time this week all around the internet. This little baby is darling. He just received a cochlear implant in his right ear and this is his response to the first noises he hears:


I thought this little kitty fight video was so well done, in it's 30's style narration.


I was needing a 'boxer fix' so I looked up boxer puppies and found this so-cute video:


Finally, here is a little tribute to the Memorial Day holiday:


I have one picture I took a few years ago, at Eric's Grandpa's funeral that would be fitting for the Memorial Day weekend:

New Camera

I'm almost giddy with excitement *blink* *blink* - I finally decided to get the camera I really want. After weighing out the benefits of this camera to that camera and discussing it with EVERYBODY who has an opinion on DSLR cameras (Cannon vs. Nikon vs. Olympus vs. Sony), I finally decided to go with the Nikon D90. AND I love it! I can't stop taking pictures of everything to test out EVERY SINGLE setting and lighting and angle. And now, of course, I have the various lenses I "just have to have" all lined up for my Birthday and Christmas wish lists.

My poor dogs hate it when it comes out of the bag. If I had kids, they would hate it too. Literally, my dogs hide they faces under their paws. Tamika even sighed at me the other day. If a dog could roll his eyes, Casey came as close as possible to that last night. SO, I will be testing it out and attending workshops and going everywhere to take pictures of everybody I know. Ha ha ha ha!

So I thought I would post pictures I have taken with my various cameras as I've upgraded over the past couple of years. It seems that I like to take pictures of the Cathedral of the Madeleine from the balcony of our downtown building. So here they are:
2007 - Coolpix 3100:
2008 - Coolpix S51:
2009 - Nikon P80:
2010 - Nikon D90: The P80 has taken some really fantastic pictures, and I am keeping it with me (once I get a dial repaired). But the D90 is fun and will be used, as well. Yay!
So Mark, Shauna, Jess and Amy: if you have any suggestions on lenses and/or any other suggestion, send them my way. Anybody else, the suggestion is ALWAYS welcome.

Aquarium Visit

Last weekend, we went to the Aquarium in Sandy with Evan, Kirsten, Chance, Ryan and Dax. I always really enjoy the relaxing nature of such a visit. I think as work stress increases through the summer and fall (as we know it will with the big changes coming), I will head out to the aquarium and learn to relax.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day:

My favorite, by far, was this Blue Dart Frog. (there were two in there)

This penguin swam back and forth in front of me several times before taking off. It was like he was wanting his picture to be taken. Cute!

This is an electric eel and was kind of creepy. He didn't move at all.

I can't remember what this fish is actually called, but the nick name is "four eyes." They have eyes that allow them to see above and below the water's surface at the same time.


Two jelly fish videos I shot with my camera....I loved it and will have to spend more time there, next time.

Friday Night Videos

I loved the Twilight books but haven't seen any of the movies. (I will eventually, I'm sure.) Eric forwarded me this, and it amused me so here it is:



I really hate when great videos are unable to be embedded from YouTube. Lame! Anyway: Happy Anniversary, Pac-Man!



I wasn't sure I wanted to see this movie...but it looks like it might be entertaining.

Watching jelly fish is so relaxing! sleepy time.


I love watching the Nature shows and National Geographic for various types of documentaries. This isn't one I've seen, but it looks interesting:

Friday Night Videos

I gave my notice at my second job - the one where I work Friday nights. I haven't decided if I'll keep this feature or if I'll "shake it up" and do something else. I have so much fun finding various videos, so I might just keep doing it. We'll see.

I have a real dislike for Glenn Beck...I think he sells out his own faith and he's a promoter of fear and hatred. I have to say that when I saw this, it was interesting and entertaining.

I found this video shocking and so sad! It's shocking and hard to see the impact of one company, one oil rig, one explosion that has become a tremendous disaster.


Neil Degrasse Tyson speaks on a meteor that could barely miss earth:


Lightening things up a bit:
He Man sings for us:


This last video reminds me of what I imagine my friend Shauna's kids would say to themselves in the mirror. I love it! So cute!
