My brother and sister got me a fantastic birthday present: a hot, little
Sony Cybershot DSC-W70. I cannot get over how slick this thing is. Its up to 7.2 megapixels which is ridiculous for what I'll be doing with this camera, but I am not complaining! I love it! It's tiny, and sleek, and the 2.5" viewing screen is practically the size of the entire back of the camera. In fact, now that I look at it, I realize it's actually smaller than my iPod. Crazy!
The image to the left is actually a picture I took of a quilted wall-hanging I have in my living room. It was made for me by the mother of the student whose family hosted me when I visited Japan in July of 1999.
Now, as some of you know, I find the
Stuff on My Cat website quite funny. There's something about dressing up your cat or putting absurd objects on her that invokes the kind of humor that only the likes of whoopie cushions, chattering teeth or rubber chickens can produce. The trick is to not visit this site too often. Only go when you want a guaranteed laugh. What I actually wanted to do was to take a funny picture of something on my cat, Holly. Instead all I got was the shot of her with Happy Guy, the back massager. In other, sadder news, I had to put my cat Star to sleep on Monday from what basically amounts to congestive heart failure.
I wanted to do something really silly with the both of them, but that won't happen now. I'm going to keep thinking of silly things to do with Holly and maybe I'll submit one.
This is the monkey that lives on the doornob outside of my "office". This guy's been my pal for a few years and he seems to be pretty happy just hanging out.
Oh, man. So "gratuitous" might not be quite right, but I did take pictures of some silly stuff. I hope to have more fun pictures from this coming evening.
