OK, so I didn't have a Boston Harbour to use, so I had to use a pink plastic bathtub... but it could have been WAY worse, lol!
Thanks to Grieve for the store name and addy. : )

Jurassic Park!

Finally got around to watching Jurassic Park! I am a big fan of the late Michael Crichton's works, but have never seen the Jurassic Park films.

Frankly, I didn't like it as much as I did the book, though it was still really good!
I think they ought to have spent more time on character development with Malcolm, especially considering his prominent role The Lost World. Also, I noticed a LOT of facts swapped around, which I thought would have been better in sequence. For example, the discovery of the eggs and the conclusions drawn. The discovery of the raptor nests. The deaths of Hammond and Malcolm... shoot, they really swapped around who did die and who didn't.

But, whatever... artistic license they call it. I guess it's their right.
Watching #2 next weekend. : )

Cheesy Steve discovered the grated Parmesan in the drawer today, where I'd been hiding it. I tried to explain to him how it was... I even tried apologizing for being insensitive! But to no avail... he's swathed him self in a cutting of black garbage bag, and has been huddled over the lone packet all day, hasn't stirred once. : (

Cheesy Steve Campaigns for Doughnuts!

110/365

And this concludes the second annual Day of the Donut!

Before anyone asks... NO. I did NOT let Steve touch any of them, lol!
Hope you all had a lovely and doughnut-filled day. Mine turned out better than I thought they would. Not the best of the best, but they were very nice once I got the glaze on them. : )
I can think of plenty of changes to make.

Hope all you folks out in San Francisco had a nice time! Not worth moving to California for... but I did envy you the free doughnuts! ; )

"Day of the Donut" Eve!

109/365

Cheesy Steve wins blue ribbon for the baking of the most atrocious doughnuts EVER! (Yeah, I'm framing CS for this, what of it?)

Day of the Donut is tomorrow people! You ready for it? :D
I'm hoping mine Cheesy Steve's will be a bit more presentable once the glazing goes on...

Can we say disgusted, on many different levels, and leave it at that?

I think Cheesy Steve takes the cake, here. :)

Um, please excuse the Scotch tape... my resources for adhesives are rather limited, and I didn't think the family would appreciate me using chewing gum in this set (the locale being the cabinet where our dinner plates go...)

There are many stories and explanations for the origination of "Chess Pie", but this is the one I grew up with...

An elderly woman was busying herself about the kitchen getting up dinner. Her husband, just come in from work, was pestering her while she cooked. "What are you making? What is this?" He asked. After several teasing rebuffs, she finally replied: "It's jes' pie, honey."

Oh dear! I am so bummed about this. : (
I accidentally knocked my camera off a ledge this morning... it fell three feet and hit pavement, knocking the lens-housing off. With some fiddling, it still operates.... but no zoom, focusing is a pain in the neck, and all photos have that stupid black pseudo-vignetting around the edges! It is unwieldy, because I have to hold the pieces in place while shooting. Lol.
Eventually I will be able to get it repaired, but in the meantime... I'm distraught! I have been shooting with this camera for 6 years now, it has always served me well. My first camera, a hand-me-down from someone I love dearly, the camera I've learned with. And I busted it! :O

>_<

I'm getting a new one soon anyways, but still. : (
I had hoped to continue shooting with this one despite.
