Here are some pictures I took when Anne and I went camping over her spring break.
These were taken in Mark Twain National Forest near Ashland, MO. There is a campground there that I really like. It's small, so it can't be too full of people.
If I'm not camping with the SCA, that's my number on criterion. Not a lot of people.

rough week
I hurt my elbow last week. It has made for a few rough days, since I can't really do any work. I am very frustrated with armouring, because I can't get much done. I have tried a couple of days, but it makes my elbow hurt. If I just stay off of it for a few days, it should get better. I don't think it's anything serious, but prevents me from hammering.
Arrgh.
That's really all I have to say, and that when I'm frustrated, I don't feel like posting on my 'Blog.

Sunny Decatur, Il.
Anne and I went camping last week. It was great. We saw our friends Shaun and Miranda, and we hiked, and we had coffee. It was good. I have some pictures of the glorious sunset on Wednesday, but I haven't had a chance to do anything with them yet. We also, and mainly, went to Decatur, Il.
Why, you may ask, would anyone go to Decatur? What's there?
Well, nothing is there, but it's apparently the midpoint between where my parents live and where my sister lives. So, my family met in Decatur last weekend. Good times were had. We went swimming, we ate, we went to the mall...
Well, mostly we visited. There's not much else to do in Decatur.
It would be nice if my parents came here to St. Louis more often, as there's lots to do here that they would like, but alas, it's a long way from Kv.

Sparta!
Anne and I went to a birthday party for our friend Aaron last night.
We went to a kid's pizza and ice cream parlor. That was much more fun than I thought it would be. We sat with Laminator_X and Wendy, and ate a fajita pizza. It was a really good time. They put a hat on Aaron, told everybody he was 32, and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to him. I'm awfully glad that Anne doesn't humiliate me for my birthdays.
After that, we all (15 of us) went off to see the new movie "300" As Ed put it "meh. I liked that movie better when it was called 'Braveheart'" Really, it was ok. You really don't need to go see it in the theatre, wait until you can rent it.
It had it's moments, but what movie doesn't, really?
I mean, Idocracy has about as many good moments as 300.
On the upside, it has caused me to do some reading about the battle of Thermopylae. Which really was cool stuff.

Macedonians
I've been painting up some Alexandrian successor armies lately. I got them from my friend Tristram in December, and I've been getting them slowly but surely organized. Yay for me!
I should take some pictures of them. Maybe I'll wait until I have them all finished so I can have some actual armies to take photos of.
Also, there's a very funny story contained in this myspace page.

It's a secret. See if you can figure it out. :)

Spring Break!
Next week is Anne's spring break. I'm going to take a few days off as well. The last couple weeks have really been hectic for both of us, I'm really looking forward to it.
We are going to go camping. It will be nice. We'll get to see some old friends that we both miss, and we'll get to go to a few places in Columbia that I miss getting to go to.
Unfortunately, we won't get to see everyone or go everywhere. We could, but that would be a different kind of trip, and I'm really looking forward to not having to see a bunch of people. Maybe some hiking, taking some pictures, relaxing and reading.
I can hardly wait.

Don't you cry my darling, we'll always have Stalingrad.
I wrote a big diatribe on High School, but then I deleted it because the whole point of my diatribe was how stupid it is to reminisce about your days of being socially snubbed.
Instead, I posted a line of lyrics from a band I really like.
Kudos if you can guess the band!
(I said "guess", so you don't get a vote, Jon)
Also, and very cool. I taught myself how to make origami cranes on Sunday evening.

Total eclipse of the moon!
There was an eclipse of the moon last night.
Unfortunately, it was cloudy. :( and cold.
Anne and I were supposed to meet some friends around dusk to watch.
I brought hot cocoa. We met one friend, looked at the sunset and the St. Louis skyline, then we went to his place.
Then we watched anime and ate some really good goat cheese pizza.
The evening was eclipse-free, which was disappointing, but other than that it was really fun.
and Cowboy Bebop is Fantastic. :)
