photography

jaylake routinely has pointers to amazing photographs. This time, it's an abandoned aviation museum in Russia.

Jay has also posted the pictures he got by asking people to take pictures of what they were doing last Sunday. The aspect ratio got off somehow on mine: El Marmalado is very round at the moment, with his winter coat, but not that round.




Some of the other pictures are, I promise, much better and cooler than mine. And not about cats.

OTOH, if more cats are what you're looking for today, may I recommend this video of five Maine Coon kittens and a cat toy? (Bonus points for musical selection, too.)

Project Valkyrie: waterlog

50 minutes, 33 laps. 297 miles, 29 laps.

Apparently, no matter how long I live in the Upper Midwest, I will never learn that in the winter, you have to leave time for digging out the car. :P

On the other hand, I was rewarded for going out by a gorgeous purple-blue and deep pink Maxfield Parrish sunset. And when I came out of the gym, the moon was the thinnest possible sliver of gold on the blue-black velvet horizon.

BJMF: Unnatural Creatures--SALE EXTENDED!

People keep popping out of the woodwork, expressing varying flavors of chagrin that they missed the Unnatural Creatures sale. Now, the thing is, my original plan--which was to place the Lulu order right after the sale ended--has gone belly-up, because Lulu didn't ship the proof copy until February 3rd, and with the blood I sweated fighting to format the damn thing, I'm not ordering a hundred or more of them until I've seen what happens to it as it goes from .pdf to book.

Therefore, there's no reason I can't extend the sale except my own inherent dislike of breaking rules, and after all, the more people who buy Unnatural Creatures, the more money I can donate to the Companion Animal Fund.

ETA: FEBRUARY 8, 2011: the sale is over. Thank you all!
