oddity

can you see the bubble?

this morning i found this moth just floating
in some water that collected on my sink.

i thought the little one was dead so
i lifted it out and much to my
surprise, it just fluttered right back in.

so i tried again to get it out of the water,
and again! straight back to the water.

i figured it was either very thirsty,
suicidal or was watching some underwater
activity my already un 20/20 eyes could
not see.

ouch

ignore my idleness, focus on the arrows

today's lesson:
do not fire shotgun if it has
slid from the proper grip.

here's some background:
during a lyme for a friend's
bday, a paintball competition
between the males and the females
was decided upon, with much
underestimation of the females'
aim on the guys part.

now to prepare for the faceoff,
one of us girls decided to prepare
by having all of us spend saturday
at a gun range with a specialist.

now...it was more like swat team
training what we got. i feel
prepared to fight off rebel troops
with all the running and ducking
and taking cover we did.

if you've fired a shotgun,
then you know the kickback from
the shot is pretty heavy esp
when you're petite with not much
arm strength as i. so you pretty much
have to keep it in a certain position,
otherwise what the arrows are pointing
to is sure to happen.

still, a lot of fun was had, quite a nice
girls day out.

dancing letters

i mentioned once before that the
most random things inspire me.

well.

today it was an old typewriter
that sits temporarily on my
temporary desk.

i don't know if i need more
sleep or the spices in my lunch
were actually some hallucinogens,
but i looked at the typewriter and
thought about (saw) letters dancing across
the keys.

so i snapped a pic and did a lil thing
and there you have it.

so tell me what you think...
add at least an extra hour to my sleep regime
or am i just swaying between creative and...
eccentric?

overboard

click for the bigger pic

i decided that i needed a new profile pic.

so rather than using my logo, i snapped
a pic, which i decided to photoshop a bit.

i think i went a teensy weensy bit overboard.

i liked all of these so i decided to make
a lil andy warhol type thing out of it
and then picked one for the profile pic.

sunset

this was taken on my way up to Blue Mountain peak

the image of the sun setting or rising
is one of my favourite things to look at

mother nature is the original artist
