Okay, still trying to figure out this multimedia web business… I think you should be able to download the movie and then just play it on your own computer. Ding! Thanks, Carrie! Make sure to turn the sound up!

Fun with Multi-purpose Cameras

Conducting a new experiment… this is a video from our night out on the town last Friday. Give it a few minutes to download and let me know if it works for you or not. I think I might need to tinker with it some more…this is my first try with embedded videos, so if you’ve got suggestions, throw ’em at me! Thanks!

Surprise Visitor

possum_jeans.jpgHello there, Mr. Possum!! You will not believe what happened last night! A WILD POSSUM COZIED UP IN MY ROOM!!! So I was sitting in the den working on the surprise bonvoyage site, when my housemate yells to me from the next room. Apparently, he heard the pitter patter of little footsteps and looked up in time to see some sort of large animal slink into my bedroom. (THANK GOD HE LOOKED UP!!!)
Upon further investigation we discover this possum hiding under my bed!!! possum_corner.jpg Can you imagine our great surprise and barely-controlled panic!? This has to be one of the most bazaar things that has happened to me all month.

After several moments of squealing and laughing we jump on the bed with a broom and start shooing the little critter out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a possum in real life before this, and they’re rather cute actually! Besides their possum.jpg
sharp protruding teeth and long rat-like tail, that is. Guillaume finally succeeded in getting it out of my bedroom (yippeeee!), only to have it take refuge in the dining room, living room, and den! So we chased the little sucker around the house for about ten minutes before the poor little guy decided he’d had enough and made a leisurely exit out the french doors. Can you believe this?!?!?! It was an absolutely outrageous night!

Newsflash: In the process of revamping moltenchocolate.com. If you want a sneak peak of good things to come, check out the photo gallery index You won’t even recognize it! I haven’t uploaded any of the new pages as yet, but you can see what’ll be coming in the next week or so at least!

Progress!

Woo hoo! Look who’s connected at home!! (me!) Even if it does feel like a regression to the age of dinosaurs, dial-up is better than nothing. Here are some pictures from a recent trip to the Adirondaks with The Girls. These are probably only of interest to the people who actually went on the trip, but there they are in case you wanted to check them out. Massive influx of new photo gallery pages coming towards the end of this week (after final paper, final exams, and job hunt are over). Enjoy.
