Birds are Weird

Tycho and Gabe had it right when they said this... it's no exaggeration. I repeatedly catch my birds doing weird and strange things, but I rarely have the wits to grab my camera and document it. Well, here ya go. The first video is my bird Callie singing to a sock. When I brought the camera out, she started singing to it instead of the sock, but make no mistake: She was singing to the sock before I had the camera.

In this next video, I heard some light muffled chirping and went to investigate, only to find that they had made a "nest" inside the couch. This is typical mating behavior for cockatiels, but both of my birds are males... so this would be an example of atypical behavior. Once again: they are oh so strange.

So there it is. Birds are weird.

Halo 3

Okay, I know that it has been forever since I updated my blog, so I thought that I would stray from the norm and update it! I know, it's about freaking time.

I really want to upload some really cute movies about my birds, but they are on my camera and I am way too lazy to go get it right now. Besides, it'll get me to post later.

I guess I'll post these pictures from a Halo 3 match. I have some really good friends in California (Thomas and Willie) that I used to play Halo 2 with, and we ended up staying buddies and continued to play through Halo 3. Well, Halo 3 has got some cool features... you can enter theatre mode and view any and all recent games in 3D, and you can take snapshots and roam around freely while the film plays.

Trust me, it's cool.

So my buddies and I were playing a racing map, and we all went off a jump at the same time - totally unexpected, and it made for a freaking awesome snapshot.. so I'm the brown one, Thomas is the green one, and Willie is the loner yellow dude:




So this is why Tim, Darin and Steve need to get Halo 3. It just rocks on so many levels.
