topical and girlie

A flower with a cat stalking it (or me) in one of the local gardens.  I'm all for gardens, but the folks out here in c-don seem borderline obsessive at times....

WaCK!

Notes from a meeting about an awesome new blog called Whiskey and Car Keys (WaCK).  A bunch of DC and NoVA cool kids who kinda like liberty, pop culture and other awesome stuff.  Check it out!

apparently not obvious


Exciting!  I've decided to post two--that's right, TWO--pics a day for awhile in the morning and afternoon.  This is the first such day.


So, I thought it was painfully obvious what animal this paint smattering is, but my friends all seem to disagree.  What do you see?  I need vindication here....

flagtown, USA

In yet another installment of "me pointing my camera at someone's house like a creeper," I was really lucky to catch this flag with the light just right.  Of perhaps mild interest, because of the macro lens I use (which is, counterintuitively, quite large--about the size of a pint glass (also, close-up lenses are counterintuitively called "macro" instead of "micro"--here's why)) I needed to stand about 20' back from the house to get the flag and porch in the shot.  I risked my life dodging cars to get this shot.

McLarendon

Now is the time in the blog where the blogger must choose whether s/he rants about the corporatism McDs represents, the fast-food times we live in, the metaphor for the sameness of the suburbs, or the tragedy of litter on mother earth.  Instead, I will rant about how awesome chicken nuggets are.  DUDE--they are SO awesome!  DUUUDE!
