LOKI!

My dad used to be the handyman for my brother's rental properties in exchange for free rent. I was his handyman's helper on weekends. Did a lot of roof-clearing, ice chipping, and he taught me how to plow. All of those things are exhausting.

I haven't been to a fair in eons. Which is sad, because there are two within ten miles of my house.

It's funny how we drop things we like. I hadn't done any needlework for at least five years, if not more, until this past November and December.

He's pretty incredible, website is here. Worth checking out, if only to ooh and aah over what we can't afford. Mine was a gift from my mom when she was living in Arizona.

LA Noire is one of those games that I was ultra excited about, preordered, and then never played. I will play it at some pnt, though.

Amphibians are some of the most amazing creatures on earth. I have a huge collection of frogs, very few of which I bought myself. I also live in an amphibian-lover's paradise, there are several marshes full of the little guys near my house.

This is one of my favorites in my collection:

The dark room stuff (and the prodigious cost of a "good" camera) were what kept me from doing much more than snapshots for years. The digital darkroom has been a real boon for people like myself.

And yeah, that was pretty much what my first camera looked like, too, except mine was all black with electricians tape holding the battery door closed.

With the technological advances of digital photography, you don't need an expensive camera. I actually get better results with my little Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7 point and shoot than I do with the Canon Rebel. I would like to invest in a macro lens someday, but those suckers are expensive - upwards of $400 apiece.
