Hooray. My boss is pleased with my pictures. I tell you, it’s the camera. Nikon D50. My coolpix can’t do anything interesting with depth of field (on purpose), and I couldn’t even get Fuji FinePix pictures to look like this: If there’s an animal, alive or dead, I’ll shoot it. Too bad this guy hasContinue reading “One week down”

Effects of the drought
That’s a dude standing in the middle of the river. Where those leaves in the center are…that’s supposed to be a creek. This is the same river that flooded in Oct. 2003.
When it’s over
I’ve officially crossed the last item from my to-do list. Unfortunately it’s only 12:30. I’ve got a lunch date at 1 that I suppose I can stretch longer than an hour…and packing up my inflatable seat cushion and plants oughta take me a whole 30 seconds. Granted I haven’t been here as long as atContinue reading “When it’s over”
Moderation
Today, I will not eat any candy. The dark chocolate and walnut Nectar bar (it’s all natural, organic, made of dates) and chocolate-flavored sugar-free pudding will have to suffice. The candy eating started with my birthday, when both my mother and Rob gave me bags of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Then last weekend, we hadContinue reading “Moderation”

Can I keep her? Please?
So that second dog, the guard dog? She’s really cute. The beagle had already been adopted by the time I got to Petco, but that’s OK, it’s not the one I wanted anyway. Rob refused to go with me to look at puppies. Just look, I said. It’s like buying a house. I should lookContinue reading “Can I keep her? Please?”
Puppies!
Never mind that we haven’t fenced our yard yet, and that I’m about to start a new job… I woke up this morning wanting a puppy! We had a weird drunk guy bang on our door the other week (not a college student), and although my boyfriend’s fists are registered weapons (not really), I startedContinue reading “Puppies!”
But is the capital Astana or Almaty?
I’m offended by Ali G’s Borat character, mostly because I know what Kazakh people look like, and that’s not it. I have to confess, however, that there are aspects of the gag that make me chuckle. If only he’d kept the character Moldovan or Albanian. The government of Kazakhstan has cried foul, and I’d sayContinue reading “But is the capital Astana or Almaty?”
Doy mi sangre Remember on Beverly Hills, 90210 when Dylan took Brenda to donate blood on Valentine’s Day? So romantic. I gave blood today for the first time since high school. For some reason I thought that all the medication I take would make my blood undesirable… how stupid of me. This is a collegeContinue reading
