I heart dinosaur comics

...even when it's guest week.

Anyone know someone whose nickname applies to this comic?
Makes me feel a bit better about some of my nicknames...like Haenus Janes (spelled incorrectly on purpose).

And (not) speaking about photography, my current photo class is conjuring up a strange mix of utter frusteration, excitement, and humbleness and I'm left wondering why I'm spending so much time and money on this hobby. I spent 5 hours in the darkroom yesterday and 3 hours tonight for (drum roll please) possibly a total of 6 good prints.
sigh.

I'm so proud of her.

At the moment I'm taking a Black and White Photo course where I'm learning how to make prints. I can't talk enough about how fun it is.
Anyone think this photo is good for printing?

Another year older...

Well, my day of birth was great.
I figured I'd have been lost in reflection, feeling old and wondering where my mis-spent youth had gone but when the big day came there was no celebration formally planned but I had a perma-smile on my face from thoughts of all my good fortune in life - good friends, good family, good times, good job, and a sunny day.
(Thanks to all of you who made it special).

Oh yeah and yesterday I photographed Marcus Naslund while he and his family had a beluga encounter. He laughed at my wit. He also asked for my phone number but I told him I was taken. I'm what you call a loyal girlfriend.

It's raining again today.

What is the price of absent-mindedness?

$1

That's the cost of upgrading your expired bus ticket because you didn't pull the cord at the right time and you somehow ended up on the North side of the 2nd Narrows, several km's, many minutes and a bridge away from your home.
