People seem to like the photo on this entry, so I guess I'll add a little something about it...
"Turtle Sunsplash" was taken with a Nikon FM, a plain ol' 35mm that absolutely EVERYTHING is mechanical on--the only thing the battery runs is the barely adequate light meter. My old Nikon FM is rugged and handy for taking places where replacement batteries are scarce even if you could speak the language well enough to ask where to get one and understand the response. Pretty sure the film was ASA100 shot at 100 using a polarized filter I think, and I don't remember aperture or exposure and my notes are in storage and perhaps irretrievably lost.
Oh, and the pic is kinda cut off in the journal, so if you wanna see the full image you gotta go to my pic folder

Wow, I'm feeling a little off today...
If you haven't told Mercie how awesome it is that she just went pink, you should!
I had the strangest dream. I was going on a diving trip with my GF, and my previous GF decided to show up at at hotel where we were staying on land before we put out to sea to liveaboard and dive. I mean, she was all packed up and expected that I was taking *HER* on the trip! Wow. Then it all turned into some sort of urgent chase thing that did not involve either of them but instead had me on a bus driven by the sales manager at a place I worked in Annapolis, and we kept bumping the bus in front of us when they changed gears and stopped to pick up passengers and stuff. And them I was in the woods bushwhacking my way to a trail and a huge group of children started passing just as I got tot the trail. Somebody was photographing them.Then as I got past them, the photographer got picked up in a 4-wheeler and took off. I continued up the trail and I hiked into the arctic and started wondering if I had prepared for these conditions. Then I was in a conference room where my dad was demonstrating that his water filter was good enough to turn a liter of Pepsi into pure water. And a guy I know who was watching the demo spit into my drink when I wasn't looking as a joke and I drank his goobersnot before I realized and had to spit it out because it was totally gross.
How freaky is that? No wonder I feel a little off.
So, what the hell do you think all that means?
I don't know what the heck it means except that I probably still have a little unresolved conflict between my current and former GF. I dated my former GF before I moved to MD, and there was a period of time where I was seeing my former every once in a while and seeing my current GF. My current GF and I have broken up a couple of times and during those times I saw my former and went on a dive trip with her one of those times. I totally broke it off with my former and don't really talk with her much any more, but she is moving to the DC area for a new job in a few months. I think my GF is feeling a little insecure about that and I try to reassure her, but she just lacks sufficient self-confidence to totally accept it I guess. Bummer. Maybe I should talk with her about the dream. I think I will.
Mercie and Mattasfuck got me all jonesing sushi last night so when my GF got home from her group meeting I took her out to Matsuri and had a coupla beers and some awesome sushi. We ordered way too much because Iwas STARVING by the time she got home. Ugh.
And what did you dream about last night?
Today's pic should be trippy:
