161st - "Muggle" is in the Dictionary?

photo [above] - Biggs sleeping. Not just inserted for random cuteness. It ties in with my story below. Sorta.

This happened a week or so ago and then later on struck me as odd. So, we came back from our trip to Philly on Wednesday night. As I'm getting ready for the night, I think to myself, "It's good to finally sleep in my own room again." Then I proceeded to go to sleep on the floor, which is exactly what I'd been doing for the past week in Philly anyway. Carpeted floors are pretty much the same everywhere.

Photo [left] - Ghaz was in Detroit a few days ago and was mugged at gun point. He's alright. The other reason for posting this is that I said I would post photos taken on my phone. So here's two so far.

I now have five friends who have been mugged/robbed/assaulted at gun point. Is that a higher number than usual? I mean, Ghaz's mugging shouldn't really count. He was in Detroit. What did he expect. Yeah, you heard me. People in Detroit are thieves.

Ghaz is coming to Toronto in a week. I think a week. I could be wrong.

So I said a few weeks ago that I would try to take one photo a day with my phone. That didn't work out as well as I hoped. I have taken about 10 photos since then. That makes me about thirty short. Seriously, the camera on the iPhone is terrible. Horrible, even. How can such an expensive phone not afford a decent crap camera. Jebus. Anyway, I decided to post some of the photos anyway. One of them actually turned out pretty cool. If there is plenty of light and nothing is moving at all, the iPhone can take some decent photos.

photo [below] - This is the only good picture I've managed to take with my phone. Nothing at all was moving. Sadly, its not that good.


photo [below] - I was being lazy at home. This is all I could find. First day of photo-a-day vow.


photo [below] - I'm not sure if some troubled and misguided kids did this or some older kids with way way too much time on their hands did this.


I had a few weeks ago decided that I pretty much hate photographing nature. I like photographing people and buildings and what not. But flowers and trees bore the life out of me. Then on friday, I said this to my cousin who is very into photography and gardening and he didn't say anything. Then on Saturday, that very same cousin who is into photography and gardening says this regarding his hobbies. Paraphrased. Flowers and plants without having a voice to communicate say so much and convey so much happiness. It's something to be marveled at. It was said a lot more elegantly than that and there was more of it but you get the gist of it. Anyone who did hear it and remembers the rest of it, let me know. That led me to decide to try it again. With that thought in mind. So, I'm going to make a few more park visits before I write it off as the dullest thing to photograph ever. So, I'm going to the park today.

On a more serious note. In what experts are describing as, "pretty damn stupid", I've lost my pain killers. I have a head ache.

photo [below] - And to end off, more of Biggs.
