Lucifer

Yesterday, my brother, Alex Kosoris, launched an Indiegogo Campaign for his novel, Lucifer. The video is absolutely fantastic; if you have a minute, please check it out (and feel free to share the video with friends and family!)

Special thanks to JasBrick, who gave me the the idea for the wings (specifically from here and here). I've been meaning to make them for awhile and never did; my brother's campaign finally gave me the motivation to finish them. Thanks also goes out to my dad, who helped secure the wings. :)

Here it Comes...

In other news, a storm has been forecast for our area, bringing 25-30 cm of snow tonight and tomorrow. This appears to be the beginning. I'll post another picture sometime tomorrow.

A Whole Bunch of Pictures and an Update on the Flood

If you've been on my Flickr photostream lately, you may have noticed I haven't uploaded anything new since May 29th. While I haven't uploaded anything new I have taken quite a few pictures during that time. So as I write this I have over fifty pictures uploading to Flickr. There are a lot of flower pictures because I bought flowers and our lupins bloomed. But there are also a bunch of waterfalls. In the wake of the floods I wanted to see what all of the local waterfalls looked like. I went back to Kakabeka one night, then went out to High Falls and Middle Falls a few days after that.

As to the flooding, if you aren't aware of what happened, my city received record breaking rainfall in late May. Our sewage plant was flooded and many people ended up with both water and sewage in their basements. This was mainly restricted to two areas in the city.

It's taken a few weeks but as far as I know the pumps are back online (or should be within a day or so). We've had temporary pumps functional for the last week or so, but they were playing catch up and pumping out the sewage pump. Luckily we haven't had much more rain in the last few weeks!

And if anyone is wondering, my house was completely fine. I actually drove home through the storm which was a bit scary, but my basement was completely fine. I was more worried about the roof because it had been leaking a few days before the bad storm, but it's also been fine.
