I've watched several makeover design shows where the first thing they do is rip out the ceiling fan. Well, that to me seems incredibly irresponsible. Ceiling fans apparently use less energy than standing oscillating fans and they circulate air better. They obviously use less energy than air conditioning and can keep you quite cool, especially on a mild night. We love ours.
Just liked the colours in this shot, despite the lack of sunshine today.
I didn't edit this photo at all - It's straight from the old iPhone 3GS camera. :)
It's official! I've gone sporty! Buy myself some running shoes today and some running socks. I can't even remember the last time I had sports shoes - it was probably when I was 12 and playing netball. Bounce my way around the house and then out the door for a run.

Here you go, Adina. I got one of those disgustingly fatty sandwiches from a lunch truck at Drexel. This one is called the Big Fat Jimmy and it has chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, and french fries along with a marinara sauce. It basically tastes like a chicken parmesan sandwich, just with extra breading and extra breading and extra fried!! I couldn't eat the whole thing, it was huge!
Mouse carvings by the Mousemen of Kilburn! The green and white stones are from Columba Bay on Iona and the black and white striped stone from the beach at Tintagel Castle.
Kevin Garnett studies the ball as he readies himself to shoot a technical foul in Game 5 of the Celtics - Hawks playoff series.
Azli's D2H finally arrived today, purchased second hand off the web. I still can't get over it's shutter speed. It's insanely fast.
And big. My D50 looks pretty puny next to this monster.
Pippin and I went to the newish organic cafe on Friar's Entry for dinner because we were both helping out that some director-of-music auditions at Univ in the evening. Anyway, this is some of the cafe's window display from the inside.. I was intrigued by the orange-gree stripy-topped squash, though I guess it's just a winter squash with slightly less regular orange colouration. As for the food, we both had salads (feta-less greek salad for me, felafel salad for Pippin), and they were both delicious and very nicely presented as well :-)
Invite our Dad's up for a Father's Day lunch - it's a gorgeous spring day so we eat on the deck.

This weekend I:

* Use my new lens to take photos of Rob playing soccer
* Finally do the second coat on the outdoor table and chairs
* Clean the windows!
* Lunch on the deck with our Dads
* Take a wealth dynamics profile test
* Receive a homemade chopping board from my Dad
* Get a little sunburnt

* Listen to Motown
Contemplating whether to take the plunge.
DILLINGER FOUR - "Contemplate This On The Tree Of Woe."
These obvious manipulations
Predicated on the basis of morals
The unseen eyes, so careless in their calculations
Forever washing the blood from their hands
With an appetite insatiable
Forced down your throat, demand your full attention
Forging their way, no sorrow, no sense of shame
Eyes to the floor
Didn't we see this coming?
Five bitter years, this lie is indefensible
Countless bitter tears, and more shed every day
But there's a change coming on
We gotta right these fucking wrongs
They can cover their ears
But we won't stop screaming!
The mighty fall, this curtain's coming down
Sputtering excuses for the mess they brought us all
Keep them inside, maybe we can block the exits
How do they live with this blood on their hands
With an appetite insatiable
Forced down your throat, demand your full attention
Forging their way, no sorrow, no sense of shame
Eyes to the floor
Didn't we see this coming?
Five bitter years, this lie is indefensible
Countless bitter tears, and more shed every day
But there's a change coming on
We gotta right these fucking wrongs
They can cover their ears
But we won't stop screaming!
Did we turn and look the other way?
While our fates were sealed and plans were made
Did we choose to stop this run-a-way train
And it just kept on rolling
Deception is what brought us here
Now truth will end the fear
This cross road lies before us now
And the world watches our every move
While we choose which way to go
We still have so much left to lose.
Oscar escaped, and had an argument with the wire joining the phone socket to the router, which he clearly won. There followed an internet outage till Pippin stripped the ends using a craft knife, twisted them together, and bundled the join up in electrical tape.. it's been fine since then :-) There are also meaures to stop the degus getting anywhere near those wires next time they manage to get loose in the living room!
