i think my name was supposed to be christine

I think identifying Canada as my favorite weapon was my undoing. How evil are you?   quick note: just in case you were wondering what the Christine reference is, there was a bumper sticker with the “I am pure evil…” tag in it to promote the Stephen King movie. (from that moggy chick)

welcome back to ottawa in the spring. we couldn’t get any snow in January, and now we can’t seem to get rid of it. it’s not too cold (-2ish right now), but it is pretty gross out. snow, sleet, freezing rain, and all that fun. I think staying inside today is a good plan, and […]

As I’ve mentioned before, sometimes flickr spits out a gem. Sesselja is one of those talented people whose photostream is worth watching on a daily basis. She does great still life work, and her experiments with liquids are awesome (and the shots from around Iceland are equally compelling). At the risk of sounding a little, […]
