Fifteen seconds later, they stopped to have their photo taken with this guy. Now, I'm a mite irked. I follow them around for about 15 minutes and ask if I can take their photo. I get the same response of they have to run and find their friends. 50 feet later, they stop to have their photos taken. I counted this happen about three times.
These two "ladies" succeeded in doing something really hard to do - pissing me off. Yes, I took it personally. And I’ve learned that I should not have done so. Yes, it was a bit of a personal sting to my pride but maybe they really were running late to meet friends, grab some food, hit the bathroom, or something about me (looks, demeanor, camera equipment, dunno) just didn’t feel right. They were not my personal models and did not owe me anything. This is a somewhat bitter lesson to learn & im better for it.
Thankfully, one of my friends gave me some hand-crafted honeyed rum and that made me feel better.

2 Days of climbing, 2 whole days to reach the top of where we thought was the smoothest spot of the CIS CP. The LAAT couldn’t transport us up because they would have been detected. Our mission was to retrieve a Force Crystal for our beloved Chancellor. The intentions he had for it were a secret, we were just troopers, troopers that did the dirty work.
We arrived at the planned spot and started to dig a tunnel through snow, ice and the outer core of the CP titanium plated plastoid walls. Atom was the first one to go down, I immediately followed him and saw that 2 droid commandos were being burned by Atoms flamethrower; I put some shots in the fireball without great effect.
Now, 2 droid commandos down, who know how many more were still out there. We had our plan, and immediately started to match through the corridors, we didn’t had much time, we had to find that force crystal.

The fellow in the middle is snapshooting the skinny lady on the left wearing a hat, and smoking a pipe.
I see 2 meteors here which the D5000 didn't pick up - the only
possible reason being that they both shot through between the
intervalometer firing. What are the odds of that?!
Not sure what's going on with the scratchy trail from the S95. Might
try a proper tripod next time rather than the gorillapod. Could be
weird focusing issues. Dunno.
The libraries also contain documents describing trade-related activity from previous ages, when tens of thousands of camels would enter or leave the town daily. These days, Chinguetti is quiet and desolate.
Please note the pens - they are placed in bullet shells. "Nothing is wasted in the desert".

My second day!
Hmm, today was really boring. Like all the other days in my life. Everything is so rutine now and I don't know what to do to change that. I mean I get up, go to school, learn something, go home, get on the computer, take some pictures, eat, go to sleep, and then start all over. There are those memorable days that have something interesting in them, but those are far and few in between. I don't know what to do. I've tried doing little changes like dressing up for a week, or trying to curl my hair everyday, but it's just not enough. There's nothing I can do to make my life more interesting, I swear...
Any suggestions?
