Why such a sort entry tonight?  Cat(s) got your tongue?

Actually, I'm doing something I thought I'd never do again -- I'm working on an entry over multiple days, writing, editing and trying to tighten what is already an overly long entry. 

(Bonn came into the room last night and asked, "What are you doing?"  When I told her she didn't skip a beat before asking, "Why would anyone want to read that?  I mentioned that I write for myself, what I want/need to write about.  If people want to read it, that's fine by me.  If not, I'm not terribly put off by that fact)

Anyways.  It's a short one tonight with just two things to comment on:

1.  Good friends zombiefodder and yes_rhade welcomed me into their home yesterday in the early evening, graciously accepting the overly late return of their scanner and a good-sized stack of manga that I carried with me.  (One of the neighborhood kids was actually waiting, somewhat impatiently, for me to arrive so he could make off with the Hellsing manga) 

I left, an hour or so later, with a stack of manga twice the size of the stack I returned.  (They really need to come up with an Official name for their, um, library collection)

With thanks and appreciation I dedicate the above picture.  It's their own neighborhood version of Matango, just a block and a  half away from their driveway.

2.  photoconcept is alive and active again.  This month's theme is Mundane.

The idea is to take something mundane in your life and use your camera to capture it in an artistic light.

Y'all join in now, ya hear?
