Pine Cove

This summer I worked at a Christian Camp called Pine Cove. I really enjoyed working there. they have a really neat website with all kinds of pictures from this summer. I was really impressed with the technical crew that worked there. The sight is definately worth checking out. It's www.pinecove.com

Looking for something to do over the break?...

If you're gonna be around the 'Delph or the "Spa City" over the break, you won't be without something to fill your weekends... Every Friday and Saturday night over the holiday, there are awesome local bands to check out... Two of which, I will highly recommend... Barrett Baber, playing a couple of stellar acoustic sets of originals and cool covers, will be at Grumpy's Too in Little Rock on Friday, December 15. And, be sure to check out the Fusion band at the Porterhouse Club (it's hard to miss... right above the Portherhouse Steakhouse in Hot Springs). The band consisting of a drummer, bass player, and guitarist play with various DJs from the Little Rock area, and, occasionally, bring in vocalists to mix it up. So, music lovers. Check it out.

Rediscovering favorites...

Okay... so it's frickin' freezin' outside, right? And, everyone's draggin' from the wear and tear of these last days leading up to finals week... On these cold, sleepy days, I'm reminded of being a kid...and waking up to a warm Grands biscuit with butter and a bowl of Cream of Wheat sprinkled with brown sugar... So, this morning, I woke up and made it...with extra butter on the biscuit and in my bowl of Cream of Wheat (and make it with milk, it's just not the same with water). Who thought a 22-year-old could be so nostalgic?

FOC!!!!

For those of you who missed it... FOC...or Festival of Christmas... was, as always, "the most wonderful time of the year!" So, in years to come, when you hear someone scream FOC!, know that they don't have terrets (no, I'm not sure how to spell that!), but are truly filled with the Christmas spirit

Church website

Most of the church websites I looked at were not very good. However, I found a church that I really thought looked good when I was looking for ideas the other day. www.fbclr.org- it is Fellowship Bible in Little Rocks site. I didn't use it, but if you need some ideas you should look at this one.

OBU Art Sale

Dear Online Design Class,

This is probably my last post. Don't be sad. Call me and maybe we can be friends.

The OBU Art Department is having its first annual Christmas sale December 6th through the 8th from 9 AM to 4 PM in Moses Provine. The proceeds will go to the all new OBU Art Scholarship Fund. This sale not a Christmas sale in that we are selling a bunch of knitted stockings and reindeer made out of pine cones and twigs. Instead, we are selling art that may or may not have anything to do with the holiday season. The only factor that makes this a Christmas sale is that it is taking place in the month of December. However, because the sale is taking place in the midst of the holidays, perhaps it would be a good place to find some interesting and unique Christmas gifts. Shiho Suzuki is selling some really cool earrings and necklaces, and Dr. Halaby has some neat sculptures for sale, too. If you don't have a lot of extra money, or if you've already finished your Christmas shopping, you should at least come by to see what the art students can do. It would be super fun.

Love,
Christy

Vera Bradley

well, one of my favorite thing i own , are my vera bradley bags. they are so cute! they are all basically a pasley pattern bags all different sizes, and colors! the website is www.verabradley.com

the thing i like most about vera bradley is you can't order on line, you have to buy them in the stores! so even though some people might think that is an inconvience, its part of the experience of seeing vera in person! if the store doesn't carry the exact bad your looking for in the right pattern, then you can ask them to order it for you! they are also very durable, functional, and adorable!!!! so girls check it out!

myspace came first.

in the beginning, myspace dominated the scene and facebook was but an orphan. once the facebook craze took off, myspace lost devoted followers (including myself). however, i encourage us all to remember the original online profile that has always allowed for the posting of pictures, commenting (on a wall-like interface), and sending messages. although it seems to be a bit more raw in appearance, myspace has a beautiful heart that must not be neglected.

wow, that was dumb.

Yahoo Music

I have just recently discovered the amazingness of http://music.yahoo.com/! I really like that you can customize your own radio station becuase I have such a wide range of likes that it would be impossible to find it on any other station. This is how it works: you specify the kind of genre's you like and specific artists and based on that it picks music for you. Then rate the song, artist, and album from "never play again" to "can't get enough of." Yahoo music has lots of music videos too.

ladeedadeeda

I really like the jowlers website. I laughed so hard I almost cried. Thanks.

Hey, I have this friend, and he likes to make stuff, and he's trying to sell some of it. If you have the means, you should look through his stuff and maybe even buy some of it. Here.

netflicks is addicting....

so me and jerad have discovered the amazingness of netflicks. what it is is basically a blockbuster but ten times better! its only like $10 a month and you get 2 dvds at a time! the process is you make a list on www.netflicks.com and you prioritize them by number of importance, so when you get the first two on your list, send them back, they have a guarenteed 3 day return, and then you get the next ones on your list. at anytime you can re prioritize your list according to if you change your mind about what you want to watch!!! its a pretty cool thing!

Houston Nutt Sucks....not

the fan cries to "Fire Houston Nutt" had subsided as of the end of last season. However, following the Hogs early season loss to Vanderbilt, the battlecry was once again heard and the website www.nuttsucks.com was also revived. The site is devoted to trash talking the Razorback's head coach and supports his release. Fortunately for Nutt fans, like me, Houston has been close in every game this year, even the nations top teams (except USC), and done well with a young squad. His job is safe, at least for another season

the death of e-mail

Thanks to facebook, my Yahoo e-mail address has been put to death. Almost everyone in my address book is on facebook so i send them messages through facebook rather than signing into yahoo and writing a traditional E-mail. I still use my school email to talk w/ professors and see what's going on on campus, but facebook groups exist that give campus news, and if all of my profs were to get on facebook and check it regularly, i forsee then death of the school e-mail
