I wonder if the mood of 'dirty' is going to show up as like a little devil guy with horns, or some sort of pig-type creature covered in mud. Thankfully Su's mother is a happy medium between the two extremes. Momma likes the mud. She likes it bad.
August 9th. My last journal entry. Seems like such an eternity and another world behind me. In a sense -- it is. Different city and different friends have become the norm once again, as I slowly complete my Bronson assimilation. I'm literally having to kick mice out of my room and dust bunnies seem to be breeding faster than their carbon-based counterparts. Its been a tough transition. I've been lacking the remoteness that was found at Maitland that actually turned out to be a mixed blessing. Now don't get me wrong, I love doing everything with everyone, but when going to the girls or what not is so easy, its hard to avoid. For instance, I haven't put up my photos yet. It won't really feel like my room until I do. Anyone care to help? I have hundreds. I'll buy food!
Abbotsford photos are finally here -- over a month late. There are a ton of plane photos, so if you're not interested just keep scrolling. And then there are some other random ones of the last month or so. Come to think of it, most of the photos included today (175 or so) are from my antics in Victoria prior to my departure. I've been meaning to take photos in Ottawa but I've been far too lazy. Someone remind me. Poke me if I'm difficult.
Photo contest kinda crapped out last month. I got one entry! Which -- although hilarious and probably would have won -- doesn't make for much of a contest unfortunately. I'll extend the contest deadline to whenever-the-hell-I-want and we'll just see. I actually do pay-out though, see inside the cut for details! Seriously though, submit. In fact --
here -- is a photo that I would personally recommend for editing, included in high-er resolution for your delight.
The Everyman photo contest is coming up again. I missed it last year, so I want to at least send one or two that way. I think October 2nd is the deadline, so if you're curious about it -- ask me. Its a pretty cool idea.
As is usual as of late, I won't be captioning every photo probably. Just the ones I feel are necessary. Afterall, they do say that
a photo is worth a thousand words

Another early morning launch
Jesse brought her rocket -- the Wacky Wiggler. More like the Waggy suckler.
Using a flag as a launch rod, probably not the best idea
Across the street...
