Day 17 - Obituaries

Using my uncle's connections with the media, we were able to place a notice in today's newspaper about my grandfather's death. The date is wrong, though. He actually died early in the morning of March 9, though I guess that doesn't really make a big difference.

Day 221 - Newspaper Nails

Look! Letters on my nails!

I attempted to do this about 2 weeks ago but failed miserably, because the instructions I found then were incomplete. Anyway, after further research I found better instructions (you're supposed to coat your nails light polish before you soak them in alcohol!) and after I was asked not to come in to the office today, I found the time to try it again.

And viola! My newspaper nail experiment is successful. Sort of. I mean, the letters still aren't that clear and even with that highly edited picture it still looks a bit messy but forgive me, I'm not a girly girl and have always found it hard to paint my nails. I actually don't know why I still attempt to do it when I know that I suck at it. -_- Maybe because I feel so artistic when I do things that involve cutting up newspaper. Hehe. :P

Day 19 - After the Toss

June 19, 2010 newspaper on the floor of the front of our house, after the paperboy tossed it over the gate

I left the house early Saturday morning to watch a basketball game. This was the first thing I saw as soon as I stepped out of the house. It was one of those rare times that I actually woke up early enough that no one else had seen the paper yet to pick it up.
