Spent the evening in tonight, watched Saved! with my sister and parents, and then popped in Maria Full of Grace (watch trailer here). Quite the film about Columbian women hired as mules to get drugs into the US. Came upstairs and I was getting ready to get to bed early, when I went to Dave’s Disaster Area for a bit, and then decided I needed to spend some more time looking around Dooce. I haven’t mentioned Dooce on this site before, but…it’s amazing. Heather, the author of Dooce loves to “talk a lot about poop, boobs, my dog, and my daughter.” An ex-Mormon, someone who lost her job because of her blog, and a writer with an absolutely hilarious sense of humor and an amazingly wonderful use of profanity (so, if you don’t like profanity, beware…she uses it perfectly…just like Anne Lamott). Go check her out and browse around. She is also a brilliant photographer, and has a technique she calls the Dooce Effect - it’s really sweet. As you might be able to tell, I “dooced” up my mugshot and banner using Heather’s Dooce Effect (to see how YOU TOO can do it, go here). Be sure to check out Dooce. I linked you to just a couple of her hilarious photos below:

Those pictures look awesome! I like how you used a few of mine! :)
I really enjoyed the movie Saved. It was great social commentary on the Christian Community. I know some or most will disagree but I think it takes those who are outside the Chrstian bubble to accurately portray how we (as Christians) seem to the rest of society.
And it kinda reminded me of some of my time spent at Whitworth.
*Disclaimer
I know much of the movie was over the top and sometimes absurdly taken out of contex, but I think we need to take it for what it is and then learn from the situation.
I still really want to see Maria Full of Grace. Adam I’d love to know what you thought of it.
PS
How come I’ve still gotten no love, I’m still not linked from your page?
I discovered Dooce a few weeks ago. I love her humor, pain, and honesty.
Your photos are wonderful. What kind of camera do you use?
I read her site a lot and have been for about a year. She is seriously funny.
Nice Dooce effect on your photo. I got her via Jenny’s blog, by the way.
John- The last three pictures were taken on a Cannon Power Shot A75 digital camera. I am not sure about the first three.
i love dooce. she’s a daily read.
John, yah, like Katie said, those were taken with her camera. The others I took with my dinky little Fujifilm A303 (3.2megapixel) - $80 on eBay.
Wow…are my eyes blurry?
Oh wait…every picture, bro?
