Extravaganza

Hey kids, I've been making some good use of my spare time lately. Namely, I've been testing the limits of my camera taking photos around my apartment and my neighborhood. I've posted a slew of new photos on Flickr today and yesterday, so you should go check 'em out. You know, that little animated badge-y thingie down there on the right. Yeah, that. The one that says, "Oooh! Pick me! Pick me!" Pick it. Most of the new photos I posted are in the two folders for Olga's house and the Sylvie the cat one. Those of you who are not little furry beast enthusiasts should stick to the one about Olga's wonderful abode. Oh, there are a few more that I took the other day in the rain, as well, but they aren't in a folder. I can't afford to pay for an upgraded Flickr account at the moment, and they only allow you three folders for free. Stingy bastards.

In other exciting photographic news, I took a very long walk around my neighborhood today and took a buttload of photos, some of which turned out to be worthwhile. I can't post them all on Flickr yet because I've used up my monthly quota, but I'm hoping that renews tomorrow and I can subject you to a whole new visual deluge. I'll post just a few here for you right now (don't forget to click on them so they are bigger and better to look at! Besides, then you can have fun trying to find me hiding in one of the photos). Oh, and other good news: My PICC line comes out tomorrow! Yes! No more IV antibiotics for me. I am looking forward more than you could possibly ever imagine to taking a shower without mummifying my arm in saran wrap. Oh glorious unencumbered shower! Oh plastic-wrapless joy! I'm positively giddy.

One last little thing: Say something dammit! You people are reading my blog; I know you are because I can hear you breathing. I want to know what you think! Show me some love, for god’s sake. Don’t make my mom have to carry this burden all by herself--she’s really crazy and I’d also like to have something to read other than flippant little comments by an elfin retiree who signs all of her messages “Maaaaaahhhhhhh.”
