High Five For Friday

A belated High Five for Friday:

 1.  Last Saturday we spent the morning with friends at the Brickfair Lego Convention. Jesse loved playing with Legos as a kid, so it was fun to see all the different creations from people young and old. The most impressive to us were the skyscapers and various action scenes. It was so cute because many of the objects were created by kids who were there to represent their piece. They stood so proud and nerdy behind their works of art!

 Apparently there is a Tampa, Florida Lego Team. They created the downtown area of Tampa, complete with skyscapers, intersections, schools, and banks. Very impressive!

 A fight scene from The Lone Ranger. Check out the guys swinging off the train!

 The Alabama Theatre, created by a local lego artist.

And a pair of glasses (with built in eyebrows, of course)! Made by the braided, bearded man to the right. This was the only piece you could touch; everything else was roped off.

2.  This week I went to yoga class at my school's rec center. I really enjoyed it! It was a decent workout (more than my normal... which is nonexistent), but before you got too heated, the instructor would wind you down and work a different part of your body. And at the same time you are stretching everything out. The class is early in the morning, which I enjoyed being a nice before-class workout to get the day going.

3.  I learned how to use my BIO this week. This allows me to view through your pupil and into the back of you eye at fairly high magnification. It's a very particular technique and skill, so seeing my first image through my lens was very exciting! Below is the view I get, except it's only a very small portion at a time, which I have to piece together in my mind and remember what I saw in each section. Oh, and the image I see is really upside down and backwards from reality, so I have to keep that in mind to. :)

4.  I re-organized my "study" more with a new bookcase. Mostly because I have too many textbooks now to keep orderly.

5.  Last night we watched the movie "The Butler" with friends (Hi Scarlett!). It was a wonderful movie - interesting to follow the main character's view of changes throughout just one lifetime on racial perspective and civil rights.
