Ok... I'm back, is this thing on?
OK, I'm officially back to reading LJ. I stopped in the madness leading up to and after June Faire, didn't have time to catch up for a few days... and then the backlog dissuaded me from catching up, and on and on in a vicious circle ( Read more... ) -
New cage
The new cage for the guinea pigs came in yesterday, so I headed off to Silverdale to the get the parts that didn't come mail order. (The existing isolation* cage is sized for one adult piggie, it isn't quite big enough for two active tweens.) I needed new plywood for the base, and it took sorting through three stacks at Lowes to find a sheet flat ( Read more... ) -
May 22nd 1968
May 22, 1968. Sailors, rest your oars.

Sakura-Con: Second batch of pictures, cosplayers.
*WOW* I though this would prove challenging, but it exceeded my expectations and then some. Changing and challenging light conditions, bad poses by the cosplayers, bad composition by me... and all of these things having to be dealt with on the fly as fast as possible. These folks are here to enjoy the con too, even if they do want to share their ( Read more... )
