The picture is of Per Ohlin (http://www.peryngveohlin.com/), my favourite singer. He is Dead, now, and I have no idea what he was reading. If you want to know how he died, google "Dawn of the Black Hearts".

I must admit that before reading that post i though it was a couple of mountains; an then a girl reading a book.

Mine shouldn't be any hard.

It's supposed to mean C++ AND Python, the two languages I'm currently struggling with.

The Brewers unveiled new uniforms for the 1978 season—pinstripes with solid blue collar and waistband. The road uniforms continued to be powder blue, but for the first time the city name "MILWAUKEE" graced the chest in an upward slant. In addition, this season saw the introduction of the logo that was to define the club—"M" and "B" in the shape of a baseball glove. The logo was designed by Tom Meindel, an Art History student at the University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire. The home cap was solid blue, and the road cap was blue with a gold front panel. The club would wear these uniforms in their pennant-winning season of 1982.

Morelike, I got rather startled by the unexpected delay in the "Press Button--Wait for Flash" stage in taking a picture.

Luckily, it got me in the inbetween stage (Not quite postured, not quite confused), so I look rather natural in it!

Though I wouldn't usually have pictures of myself up, though. I hate pictures of me...

Except toddler pictures. They are the best ever!
