that's the day i was born and hence, i had a birthday on april 9th, 2009! AHHHH!
it was a fun day. though it ended with bloatedness after drinking a soy chai at a restaurant. it was the powder mix chai, which, from experience, tends to be laden with dairy... Oh NOES! . . .
in any case, it was still fun. a guy gave me a HUGE purple cellophane wrapped basket of homemade peanut butter cookies he made himself, pretty white roses, funny balloons, and a card about BOOTYBUTTS (the card i received at work was about a toilet and poo... ironic much?)! his mom got me a to-die-for gift card to starbuck's (i whole-heartedly support the local coffee and tea shops, but sometimes, they just aren't around when you need 'em the most!)
then he and i went out to breakfast/lunch/brunch/whatever you wanna call it at T.C. Eggington's. they have great vegetarian choices... "portobellini"... yum! on the way to breakfast, we saw a mother and her tiny baby ducks by the freeway in the puddle-y canal/gutter/whatever you wanna call that. it was cool because it was my birthday and they were cute, yet odd because it was by a freeway and not in a park, or in my school's irrigation or something. them duckies must be suffering economically too, eh?
so after that, i contemplated going back home to work on a commedia dell'arte mask for theatre class, but decided to just veg and hang with this guy at his apartment (i find vegging out, doing nothing a bit difficult to do sometimes).
later on, we met up with my parents to eat dinner at the Euro Cafe in Gilbert, AZ. a great foodsie greeky place. and that's where, you know, *ahem*... the soy-chai-laden-with-dairy-omg-why-did-i-order-this fiasco happened. so after dinner, with all of us feeling like cows (even though i hardly ate anything and they ate like contestants in a hotdog eating contest), we went to Wal-Mart of all places. i'm particularly NOT a Wal-Mart fan, but since i was at Wal-Mart and it might be cheaper than at other places, i bought vanilla soy ice cream because i was magnetized/hankering for some.
we finally headed home around 11pm, after which i quickly shoved this guy out the door and kissed him goodbye, so i could heat up some of those peanut butter cookies and WHAM BAM!... inhale hot cookies n' ice cream. mmmmmmmmmm... no cake this year. and i wanted it that way. no one even sang to me either i noticed, but that's perfectly ok. it's not a crime. wait wait...i take that back: he played the weird al birthday song... so essentially, i was sung to in mp3 format. :)
oh yeah, and at work today for my 'employee birthday'... i made up fruit, granola, & yogurt parfaits for everyone. someone bought all the ingredients (i requested it instead of birthday cake), and i went right to work -- whipping up those babies during my lunch break. i was so amazed some people didn't know what a parfait was or how to make them.
well, now they know :)
suffice to say, i'm on a parfait kick now. i hadn't had one in a year before that day. soy yogurt though. yes, please. :)
p.s. thanks dude for taking these kickity arse photos!

Alors que le sillon était exceptionnellement tracé en Euro 4000, c'est finalement la Class 77 habituelle qui assure le train Villars-les-Dombes-Colmar du jour. On prend quand même !
Et merci Marc pour l'idée du coin ;)
CZJ Sonnar 50mm f2. Looks more like 53mm. This one is from 1938-39. Lot of contrast and bit of saturation needs to be restored.
This is what the lady said, after seeing, what I took a picture of. This Birdo mural is one of his newest. Less colours then usual, but still Pretty Good, Eh.
Birdo (Jerry Rugg) murals are some of the most visible wall art pieces in the city. Precisely executed, vibrant and imaginative. He paints everywhere; from a 5 story building to a bedroom fantasy decoration. His dream to paint CN Tower is still a dream at this point. One day.....

Not paying attention to the St. Paul Sub up near St. Anthony (ATCS who ?), an eastbound snuck by with what sounded like an EMD. So I decided try and beat it to St. Paul, which I did with about 30 seconds to spare. A "southbound" UP manifest from the Twin Ports heads through Seventh Street, the location of a menagerie of tracks, switches, and overpasses.
Rolleinar 55mm f1.4 is the latest fast fifty-five in my collection. THis one is made in japan. I wanted to compare it to Mamiy an tomioka made fifty-fives. More so as it is rumoured that it is made my Mamiya or Tomioka for Rollei. It has visibly different optical design as the rear element is concave and not flat as Tomioka and Mamiya I own.
It is said to be based on expired Zeiss' Planar 55mm f1.4 patent. That is surely true for Rolleinars made in Germany, but no definite confirmation for those made in Japan.
It is sharp wide open, quite sharper than my Auto Chinon. Bokeh is still that of fast fifty-five, maybe a hint better controlled. Colors ar natural and definitely on colder side. Multi coating adds a bit more contrast but not dramatically so.

I thought of you when I saw this symbol, you're kind and expressive.
Your words of love and respect are always present here and you are a good role model, people should be always as lovely as you are, but you are not alone, there are some very nice people around us here..
Eu pensei em voce quando eu vi este simbolo, voce eh gentil e expressiva.
Suas palavras de amor e respeito estao sempre presentes aqui e voce eh um otimo exemplo pessoal.
As pessoas sempre deveriam ser amaveis como voce, (voce nao esta so), existem muitas outras pessoas legais tambem aqui.
Entao a todas as pessoas legais tambem....
Photo prise ce soir en partant faire les courses. Un moment étrange et poétique, un cadeau juste avant la nuit qui sera la plus longue de l'année.
Dans les pays nordiques, on appelle cette nuit-là la lumière pour se prémunir des ombres, de la tristesse et de tout ce qui peut nous faire mal.
C'est la Sainte Lucie, fêtée demain en Suède et dans la plupart des pays du nord qui rappelle et fait circuler dans la nuit une couronne de lumière d'une ferme à l'autre.
Pourquoi je vous parle de ça?
Eh bien parce qu'en ces temps de pandémie où nous sommes tentés d'être gagnés par le découragement, la tristesse, nous devons plus que jamais appeler la lumière en nous d'abord et nous la partager ensuite. Ce soir c'est moi qui engage la partie avec cette photo et le beau chant de Jonna Jinton. Puisse la lumière vous parvenir et vous apporter douceur, paix et amour pour à votre tour, la partager à celles et ceux que vous croisez, que vous aimez.
Bonne Sainte Lucie à tous!
Auto Chinon 55mm f1.4 is a first of fast fifty-fives I acquired. It was by chance at the time, but it become one of the few I would have hard time to part with.
In terms of IG: sharpness is not its strong, glass is yellowish and colours are tinted, bokeh is wild and uncontrolled by modern standards. All that said it just fits in my taste as a warm glove .
