Wanna get crazy with Crazy Dan?

Yesterday, Dan came by yesterday to drop off a tree from his backyard. Our backyard has 2 major issues; it gets too much sun, and there are a few eyesores surrounding it. So, 2 trees in the backyard should be perfect.

I figured he would drop off the tree, we would leave it in the pot for a while, then eventually plant it. A few moments after Dan arrived, "You got a shovel?"



Once we had positioned the first tree, Dan said, "we should go buy another tree right now. Come on. Wanna get crazy with Crazy Dan?"

So, I got this really sweet tipu tree for $24. Then, we planted them both.



I think they looks really nice, plus we, you know, planted trees. Very hippie. Thanks, Dan!



Per Dan, here are the details on the trees:

The CD Jacket Meme

I'm still kind of new to this whole LiveJournal thing, but I think I'm in to this meme stuff.
Where do these memes come from? Who's allowed to make them up? I've got some pretty rad ones I'd love to drop. Someday...

bearpawly just did a CD jacket meme that totally inspired me. I used to be a hardcore Photoshop head. I would make CD covers daily. Once I got my first iPod, that slowed me down quite a bit.

I don't know if these are the definitive rules, or if this is a real meme for everyone, but here are the rules, per bearpawly's blog:

A.) Pretend I could sing and that I was releasing my debut CD
B.) Create a CD Jacket for said fictional album
C.) Use pics from my LJ for imagery -- and journal entry titles as song titles

Done.





Good times.
