Jayvie is many things:

I'm a Maryland resident. A self-avowed WordPress Whisperer, I use it in all my projects. I take lovely photos, go to the gym a lot, and opine strongly over design, aesthetics, and politics. I'm a heavy Twitter user, a moderate Flickr participant and in my spare time I help people at the SemperFi WP Support forums. Read more about me.

This is a random image.

Thirsty, thirsty hippo

I never thought a hippo would be bigger than a car, so when I saw it wallowing around in the national zoo I was quite awestruck:

Silverback Moon

I went to the National Zoo last Saturday and took a few pictures (of course). Here’s a silverback gorilla sitting around.

Pear blossoms, up close

I took this two days ago; The period for pear blossoms has gone but there’s plenty more pictures to remind me of them for the rest of the year.

Peach blossoms.

I Flickr now

Thank you Rhe. So much. This thing is addictive. Heck, I post pics there ahead of when I post here.

Flickr lesson #1: I find tagging photos a chore; verbalizing what I capture in pixels is a wrenching experience. Anyone else find the act of tagging pics demystifying?

Sometimes I freaking hate pop culture

I just discovered that the storyline for something I’ve been writing has already been done in a Star Trek: Original Series episode. I have the tough choice of stopping all work now or making a self parody with a short dialogue between characters, like so:

“Hey, isn’t this similar to a Star Trek episode?” the investigator asked.

“Hard to say. But if I get your drift right, we won’t have a Spock to help us with this one,” the coroner replied.

“Who knows; maybe we do?”

“Eh.” With that, the coroner shrugged and went back to work.

All the good stories have been told. The next thing I’ll work on will be a romance novel. Intiendes?
