Theme today at ODC is Sloppy or Messy. I'm going with messy (or just plain dirty.)
A bit of background -- Japanese baths and toilets are housed in separate rooms. Our house has four toilets for three people. This is the one that no one uses. My wife insists on keeping the window cracked and over time an enormous amount of dirt accumulates. And since no one uses it, no one cleans it. Poor bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaner must get awfully frustrated.
my messy bedroom during night , when i shoul be sleeping and not taking pictures because i have school the next day
You wouldn't believe the waste left on the floor around the feeders, and not all cleared by the ground feeders, mice,squirrels etc.

I spent a calming few minutes with this messy little chap in the Bulrush during my walk yesterday, perhaps he was having lunch or finding nesting material. Their UK conservation status is currently Amber as populations fell by over 30 per cent between 1970 and 2007 likely due to the reduction of damp habitats.

Messier Object M2 - Globular Cluster (NGC 7089)
Telescope (Lens): EF 75-300mm III USM (Piggy Back on Orion SkyView 4.5in EQ)
Addition Optics: None
Camera: Canon XSi
Exposure: 30sec
ISO: 400
Processing: Single Image, Brightness/Contrast, Rotated, and Cropped
This was my first attempt at imaging a deep space object with non-motorized manual tracking. Object was tracked using a standard 4mm eyepiece. Camera riding piggy back captured the image.
I liked the effect of these fabric strips last time so I thought I'd try a different variant. These are fun to make!
Gah, my closet is so messy. It's odd because my apartment is always to clean and tidy. I know what I'll be doing on my next day off. It's driving me nuts.

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the globular cluster M92. Inverted grayscale variant.
Original caption: This striking new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a glittering bauble named Messier 92. Located in the northern constellation of Hercules, this globular cluster — a ball of stars that orbits a galactic core like a satellite — was first discovered by astronomer Johann Elert Bode in 1777. Messier 92 is one of the brightest globular clusters in the Milky Way, and is visible to the naked eye under good observing conditions. It is very tightly packed with stars, containing some 330 000 stars in total. As is characteristic of globular clusters, the predominant elements within Messier 92 are hydrogen and helium, with only traces of others. It is actually what is known as an Oosterhoff type II (OoII) globular cluster, meaning that it belongs to a group of metal-poor clusters — to astronomers, metals are all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. By exploring the composition of globulars like Messier 92, astronomers can figure out how old these clusters are. As well as being bright, Messier 92 is also old, being one of the oldest star clusters in the Milky Way, with an age almost the same as the age of the Universe. A version of this image was entered into the Hubble’s Hidden Treasures image processing competition by contestant Gilles Chapdelaine. Links Gilles Chapdelaine’s Hidden Treasures entry on Flickr
Edited European Southern Observatory image of the galaxy Messier 61. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: Nuzzled in the chest of the constellation Virgo (the Virgin) lies a beautiful cosmic gem — the galaxy Messier 61. This glittering spiral galaxy is aligned face-on towards Earth, thus presenting us with a breathtaking view of its structure. The gas and dust of the intricate spiral arms are studded with billions of stars. This galaxy is a bustling hub of activity with a rapid rate of star formation, and both a massive nuclear star cluster and a supermassive black hole buried at its heart. Messier 61 is one of the largest members of the Virgo Cluster, which is made up of more than a thousand galaxies, and is itself at the centre of the Virgo Supercluster — to which our Milky Way also belongs. This dazzling beauty was first discovered in 1779, and it has been capturing astronomers’ interest ever since. Set against a dark sky littered with galaxies, this image shows the awe-inspiring M61 in its full glory — even at its distance of over 50 million light-years. This image was taken as part of ESO’s Cosmic Gems Programme, an outreach initiative to produce images of interesting, intriguing or visually attractive objects using ESO telescopes, for the purposes of education and public outreach. The programme makes use of telescope time that cannot be used for science observations. In case the data collected could be useful for future scientific purposes, these observations are saved and made available to astronomers through ESO’s Science Archive.
It reminded me of Andy Warhol... www.andywarhol.net/images/Andy-Warhol.jpg ;-)
Seen in the cactus garden of Lanzarote.
I wish my eyes turned out more like crying mascara as opposed to joker-like.
Oh well. I like the lipstick on my finger anyway.
Woo, saw TOTW was ghetto lighting, the only kind I can obtain. HA
after O's i'll burn all my worksheets and books!!!
oh and if you noticed.. i'm in the picture actually
Things I had never done before I made these two nights ago:
-used TLS
-made donuts out of Sculpey
-baked any Sculpey project more than once
-made 1/12 miniatures
I've been admiring a lot of the awesome mini food I've been seeing on Flickr and wanted to try making some myself, but I always gave up on donuts before this because I didn't know how to make the frosting look like real frosting.
At last I found out about TLS and acquired a bottle, mixed in some paint I had sitting around, and frosted my donuts. =) I put a bit too much on this batch, so these are very messy donuts. (This picture is a better view of how messy the donuts came out. Frosting dripped down the sides and into the centers! OH NOES!)
Anyway I made some more stuff after this and was very pleased with the result, so I'm going to start selling it on Etsy!
