Xander ,'Touched'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Running so late this morning, I'm just crossing my fingers that everyone else on the bus route is too, and that the kids don't miss the bus. Ugh.
On the schedule for today is an encounter with a former mentor of my sister's who is completely unpredictable, she has vaguely threatened to sue us on occasion and at other times she's nice. I'm giving her some things of Liz's that I think she should have, but I'm way more stressed out by this exchange than I need to be. Double ugh.
My dream bathroom has a steam shower with a bench in it.
Today is work - dentist - work - CJ to the doc to discuss ADHD - work - pack - sleep. Wheeeeee?
A claw foot tub over the bed sounds dangerous no matter what color it is.
At the dentist. My teeth are worse than expected and I had low expectations. Now to come up with a game plan. But I'm alone waiting for now.
My cable and internet have been out since Friday. I'm at home waiting for Comcast to show up. They're supposed to be here between 10:00 and 12:00. Seven minutes left....
eta: Clearly I can't do math today.
I got a call from Comcast--the guy is running late but should be here... sometime.
ION, tonight I go to an orientation at the cat-rescue place I applied to volunteer at (as a photographer). So apparently that's actually gonna happen.
Does anyone have a favorite pet shelter adoption site that has good pictures of the pets up for adoption? I wanna get some sense of what other pet photographers are doing.
I found a how-to video for shelter pet photography that was useful. They recommended using a 50mm lens with the aperture open all the way to get a nice blurred background that draws the viewers' attention to the pet.
Here's a picture of Squeaky I took following that advice: [link] (I used a 35mm lens which would be the equivalent of a 52.5mm lens on a full-size DSLR.)
The prodigal returns!
Great picture tommyrot. Best of luck to you.
So. Two root canals. Maybe both today. Maybe just one. Trying to work out logistics now.
That's a great picture, tommy. She has gorgeous eyes.
I'm at the busiest Panera in the world (I think it's official, actually -- I have never seen so many people out for lunch on a Monday) writing with a friend.
Trying to write, anyway. I have 400 words so far. Whoo?
Oh, Suzi, ouch. No way it can wait till after vacation? You need all the massages and fruity drinks and cabana boys, lady.
So. Two root canals. Maybe both today. Maybe just one. Trying to work out logistics now.
Good luck!
