| 5:26a | QotD From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-01-14:
(submitted to the mailing list by Terry Labach) 
(I was thinking of this cartoon from a New York Times op-ed for Canada Day a few days ago, when I picked today's quote. I'm aware that Talleyrand had something a bit different in mind.) |
| 5:55p | Last Night 
Bummer: I wasn't organized enough to have made plans for yesterday, and took long enough deciding whether I was well enough to go out that it probably didn't matter anyhow. Bonus: I did feel well enough, late, to get up on the roof to watch fireworks. Bummer: Silly me, using a long lens at night, I didn't think to use a cable release. Whoops. (I did eventually realize my mistake and start using the camera's timer.) Bonus: Though I didn't get anything really great, I did get a few decent shots anyhow. Bummer: The weather kept the city's fireworks at the harbour low enough to be mostly obscured by trees from my house. Bonus: The weather was so comfortable I was tempted to haul my tent out to the roof and sleep out there. And it was just windy enough to foil mosquitos. Bonus: I can see lots of other fireworks displays from my roof. |
