I have no idea why I took a picture of this.

2010-03-31T21:01:00.000-07:00

Another book on my must read list.

I won't know what it is about cats that appeal to crappy writers. You can find "magical cat" books in fiction, mystery, romance, and (shudder) erotica.

I loved the texture on the arrow, too bad my shitty camera phone couldn't pick it up.

2010-03-31T20:52:00.000-07:00

Beautiful kids book!

If you can't wee it, there's a deer on right side of the pic, crossing the road. You really have to be alert in this city the deer are everywhere!

2010-03-31T20:46:00.000-07:00

Mmmmm mushrooms.

11/13/2009

2010-03-31T20:45:00.000-07:00

I don't think Robin would let me have this one.

11/10/2009

2010-03-31T20:44:00.000-07:00

I can't remember why I wanted this book. There must have been some reason.

11/09/2009

2010-03-31T20:42:00.000-07:00

If I can convince Robin to go camping this year instead of staying in a chalet, maybe I'll pick this up. I love free!

They put up a X-mas tree at work, on Feb. 4th. I hate retail.

Maceo doing his favorite thing: eating.

2010-03-31T20:36:00.001-07:00

Holy crap! While preparing stuff for backing up on my computer I came across some pics I took with my phone, now I'm only about 100 photos short! Be prepared for lots of books!

The End

2010-03-31T18:20:00.000-07:00

So that's it. One year, 256 posts, 112 short of 1 post a day. It was getting pretty boring anyway, seems like half the pictures were of my dog or my cat.

I'm still gonna keep the blog, but maybe I'll aim for a more realistic like once a week maybe? If anyone is still checking this out, sorry about the sporadic updates. I'll try harder from now on.

We decorated the tree today. This is my favorite ornament. A happy little snowman, holding another snowman's head.

Yes, I missed a few days, I'm getting tired of just posting pics of the animal, lol.

Stretching up to 000 now!

10/25/2009

2010-03-30T21:01:00.000-07:00

Playing with my white box again, nothing special, still trying to get the hang of it.

10/24/2009

2010-03-30T20:59:00.001-07:00

I found a lady beetle outside! In October! I brought him in to have a feast on all the aphids we have on our plants.

10/23/2009

2010-03-27T21:38:00.001-07:00

Most of the 2099 titles were crap, but this one was awesome! Maybe once get another job I'll actually be able to afford to buy books.

10/22/2009

2010-03-27T21:36:00.001-07:00

Can you believe our store still sells this book?

10/21/2009

2010-03-27T21:34:00.000-07:00

Really want this book! I love Tom Waits!

10/20/2009

2010-03-27T21:30:00.000-07:00

This looked like a really interesting book!

10/18/2009

2010-03-27T21:28:00.000-07:00

Got this for Kelly and Phil for Xmas. One of the tricks you can teach your dog, is to go to the fridge and bring you a beer!

10/15/2009

Yet another book I want.

10/12/2009

2009-12-13T16:12:00.001-08:00

Looking for a winter Jacket for Robin on my way home from work. Well, at least it's something!

10/11/2009

2009-12-13T16:08:00.000-08:00

The best part of Thanksgiving. Punkin' Pie! Yum!

Went on the Stettler Murder Mystery Train today. I have to admit, it was a lot more fun then I thought it would be. The scenery wasn't as nice as I thought it would be, it was a weird summer/winter thing going on. The leaves were all still green, but there was snow on the ground

10/09/2009

2009-12-13T15:28:00.001-08:00

Another pic of Hali. At least it's something.

10/08/2009

2009-12-13T15:25:00.001-08:00

Yep, that's snow. October 8th, and there is snow on the ground.

10/07/2009

2009-12-13T15:19:00.001-08:00

More fall colours! I just wish I was a little better at capturing them.

10/06/2009

2009-12-13T14:50:00.001-08:00

The patio lights at night.

10/05/2009

2009-12-13T14:47:00.000-08:00

Starting to see some fall colours! They are few and far between, but there.

10/04/2009

2009-12-13T14:45:00.000-08:00

Saw this book about a documentary, read the back, now I want to see the doc, and read the book.

10/03/2009

2009-12-13T14:32:00.000-08:00

Went to Robin's dance recital today! Yowza!

10/02/2009

2009-12-13T14:28:00.001-08:00

We got a bunch of Post Secret books in today. Yay!

10/01/2009

2009-12-13T14:24:00.001-08:00

Another pic of Hali.

09/30/2009

2009-12-13T14:22:00.001-08:00

Playing with the moon this time. I have no idea how to get a clear pic.

09/29/2009

2009-12-13T14:20:00.001-08:00

We've got huge aphids all over our herbs.

09/28/2009

2009-12-13T14:18:00.001-08:00

just playing with the sun.

09/27/2009

2009-11-18T22:28:00.001-08:00

The last of the tomatoes. I'm gonna save some of the seeds and try to plant them next year.

09/26/2009

2009-11-18T22:22:00.001-08:00

I thought the covers of this series looked hilarious! It's like a cardboard cutout of Jessica Fletcher in front of some random scene.

09/25/2009

2009-11-18T22:17:00.000-08:00

Almost every time I saved today, my file got corrupted. Lost a few hours of work every time.

09/24/2009

2009-11-18T22:14:00.000-08:00

The last summer beer.

09/23/2009

2009-11-18T22:10:00.000-08:00

Just trying out my new tripod.

09/22/2009

2009-11-18T22:07:00.000-08:00

Saw this awesome skeleton at Winners. Robin thought it was too much ugly, and not enough scary.

09/21/2009

2009-11-18T22:03:00.001-08:00

Got a B-day card from work today. A little late, but being as how I just started, I thought it was really nice!

09/20/2009

2009-11-18T22:01:00.000-08:00

So much great stuff in here!

09/19/2009

2009-11-18T21:58:00.001-08:00

Pete wore Hali out every night. Too bad Hali couldn't ware Pete out.

09/18/2009

2009-11-18T21:54:00.000-08:00

Pete came for a visit this week, Hali and him played all night!

09/17/2009

If anyone needs an idea for an Xmas gift for me . . .

09/16/2009

2009-11-18T21:45:00.001-08:00

Defragged today. twice.

09/15/2009

2009-09-16T15:49:00.000-07:00

The one good thing about only working till 12 some days, is that I get to go to the dog park when it's not so crowded.

09/14/2009

2009-09-16T15:45:00.000-07:00

I found this weird piece of gravel in our yard. Ya think it's a fossil?

09/13/2009

2009-09-16T15:41:00.000-07:00

All the little birds have disappeared from our bird feeder, and all we have left is the occasional Magpie.

Yeah, I know its blurry. I was trying to manual focus through a dirty window.

09/12/2009

2009-09-16T15:38:00.000-07:00

I should have adjusted the aperture so that the log was in focus but the BG wasn't.

09/11/2009

2009-09-16T15:36:00.001-07:00

I found an old used B&W film. I wonder what's on here. I'll have to get it developed next payday.

09/10/2009

2009-09-14T09:24:00.000-07:00

My first real camera. My folks gave me their old rangefinder Canon. It's light meter was broken and they got a new one. I took sooooo many pictures with this, most were horrible, and some . . . weren't so completely horrible.

Oh yeah, and this was taken in my finished white box!

09/09/2009

2009-09-14T09:17:00.000-07:00

My friend Jay told me about this thing called a white box. It's basically a white box to take photos in, lke product shots. Here's the start.

09/08/2009

2009-09-14T09:13:00.001-07:00

Just taking shots around the office. Robin's folks gave us this camera a while back. I haven't even used it yet. Film developing is F-ing expensive. maybe once I learn on my camera, I'll try it out.

09/07/2009

2009-09-14T09:09:00.000-07:00

I can't believe the leaves are changing color already. Summer went by so fast.

09/06/2009

2009-09-14T09:04:00.000-07:00

I love this new camera! went for a walk in the park, took a few shots.

09/05/2009

2009-09-14T08:59:00.001-07:00

Robin got me a DSLR for my B-day! I can't wait to learn how to use it properly! In the mean tile it has a lot of dummy settings to keep me going while I learn.

09/04/2009

2009-09-14T08:56:00.000-07:00

Happy B-day to me. Sigh, b-days aren't as fun out here as they were back home.

09/03/2009

2009-09-14T08:53:00.000-07:00

I can fit a pencil through my stretching now!

09/02/2009

2009-09-14T08:51:00.000-07:00

So many interesting books! So little money. this one is about how some christian practices are based on pagan ones.

09/01/2009

2009-09-14T08:48:00.000-07:00

Just another underwater photo.

08/31/2009

2009-09-14T08:46:00.001-07:00

Yeah, forgot to take a good pic today. Saw this at work though, peel and stick chalkboard. Brilliant!

08/30/2009

2009-09-14T08:42:00.000-07:00

Nothing like home made BBQ sauce

08/29/2009

Maceo the hunter

08/28/2009

2009-09-11T22:38:00.001-07:00

Mushrooms! Maybe these are the ones Hali got into.

08/27/2009

2009-09-11T22:36:00.001-07:00

Took one shot today, turns out it was a bad one. Oh well, the show must go on.

08/26/2009

2009-09-11T22:28:00.001-07:00

I had my first full 8 hour shift today. When I got home Hali wouldn't even look at me. Seriously, she went out for a pee, then went straight to bed and refused to even look at me.

08/25/2009

2009-09-11T22:26:00.000-07:00

My office. I don't know why I feel the need to show off what a slob I am.

08/24/2009

2009-09-11T22:25:00.001-07:00

Another pic of my dog.

08/23/2009

2009-09-11T22:15:00.001-07:00

It was Robin's B-day today! Flowers, presents, and Ice cream cake!
