As long as I'm feeling blue, here are some shots I took a couple of weeks ago on a warm, rainy evening. My camera is capable of taking some excellent night shots, though it's a complicated procedure, since it needs to be held absolutely still for about two seconds while the shutter's open. In general this means bracing it on something, and when it's raining that's next to impossible. But those rain-slicked streets look so good, I have to try.
That's not an optical illusion; most of the feral cats in my neighborhood are Japanese bobtails like this one.
It took me forever to get this shot. I had to lean against a no-parking sign, camera in one hand, umbrella in the other. Rain kept running down my neck as I stood there, waiting for just the right overlapping of cars...
Man, I can't wait until I'm making movies again.
A Godzilla's-eye view of traffic.
At first, I was wondering why you posted this here rather than just e-mailing it to me.
And then it hit me--you want MY site listed at the top of that Google search, instead of yours.
Pretty sneaky.
The funny thing is, if you search for "MetaGrrrl slash fiction," your website comes in fourth.
Hi Mike, nothing to do with your latest post, but I was just wondering a) you were deciding to drive me to the brink of madness or b) the world is a lot more messed up than previously realized.
Someone got to this archive page in my website
http://www.metagrrrl.com/metagrrrl/2003/05/
via a search for
Manos the Hands of Fate Slash Fiction
Now I hasten to add that the exact phrase is not found on that page. I promise that this is a concept which had never ever occurred to me before and, given the sudden urge I have to scrub my cerebral cortex, which would never ever have occurred to me in the future.
Please say you were just joking with me. Please say there isn't someone out there who's looking for amateur porn stories about Torgo and The Master. Please.
