Show us a bird native to your habitat.
Well, there were finches, waxwings, cardinals and sparrows. But my neighbor's bird feeder fell to the ground a couple of days ago and I haven't seen them around my balcony since then.
I should have upped the serving size because I'm still snacky.
Random things...
Still haven't found a replacement camera since Elph stopped working.
My camera phone sucks. I used it at the Warped Tour last week and snagged clips of 3oh!3, Angels & Airwaves, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, Say Anything, Shwayze, Story of the Year, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. But I have nothing to show for it.
Dreaming with my eyes half open is freaky. After the Warped Tour and dinner that night, I came home and fell asleep on the couch. The strangler was back, and this time it had a face, something like a charcoal drawing. I could feel its presence as if it was sitting on the couch next to me, and then I saw its face above mine, moving in and out of view. I was terrified, couldn't move and screamed through closed lips. Poa Poa heard me and I heard her come running from the bedroom into the living room. At that point all I could see was the ceiling but kept screaming until I saw Poa Poa and heard her whimpering as she licked my face. I slowly realized it was just a dream, sat up on the couch and thanked her for waking me up. I'd only been asleep for half an hour, but it felt like I'd been dreaming all night.
And now It's time for lunch and I have a hankerin' for noodle soup.

I knew Elph was on his last leg since he was struggling with day-to-day activities, especially photo strolls in cold or humid weather. Even though he was a bit sluggish at times, he always seemed to snap out of it.
Well, I took him out Friday night to catch the fireworks in the city and things went downhill. I got a couple of shots out of him, powered him down, then heard this awful clicking noise. It eventually stopped after a few seconds and his LCD read "E18". My heart sank. His poor little lens wouldn't retract into his body, even after I tried to help it along. It took a firm nudge from one of my friends, and Elph started working again but he just didn't sound the same.
Sadly, his condition deteriorated on Sunday and I knew there wasn't much I could do. I put my ear to his little body and even though I could hear a faint sound when I powered him on and off, he wouldn't move and the dreaded E18 flashed in the lower left corner of his screen.
I don't know if I'll ever find a compact camera as great as Elph. He may have been old but we always saw things eye-to-eye, and he knew how to capture a moment with clarity and vibrant color. I'm tempted to send him off for repairs but I'm afraid the cost would be equivalent to buying a new camera. Or, I could try to fix him myself but the odds of that happening are pretty low.
For now, he'll go into retirement.
Thanks for all the memories, my little companion...
And as much as I want to stay in bed and do nothing, I feel like I should be up and about doing SOMETHING.
But I'm drained.
from laughing SO HARD.
Thanks Lorelei.
That baby's voice reminds me of another video that had me rolling (LOTR funny voices).
Stopped by Trader Joe's yesterday morning to do a little grocery shopping and wound up buying myself some flowers. Seriously, how could I pass up a bunch of sea spray roses for $3.99. And the orchid, $12.99!!! <-- yeah, I'm that excited. I'd been eyeballing the selection at Joe's for a while...ever since the store opened over a year ago, actually. But none of them spoke to me like this one.
The ride home was glorious!
