More old fashioned photos! Now with twice the Izzy! I think the effect turned out better this time.

So we have another doggy! Courtesy of somejerkone who couldn't be bothered to take their pet to the animal shelter rather than dumping her somewhere by the side of the road, but yes! New doggy! She is very cute. And unless someone comes to claim her and proves me embarrassingly wrong about the identity of her former owner, then we shall be keeping her. Right now we're calling her Ruby.

Unoriginal, but it was math.

Looking through pictures from the 1950s makes me want take my own with a camera from that era. Of course, "photoshopping" is the closest I'll probably ever get to that.

don't be afraid to leave
you will always return
in one way of another
the flowers that sleep
will wake again in the morning
and will not have forgotten
all the days that came before


Edit: Because I posted a picture of yogurt instead of flowers. Elle oh elle.

( More Doggy )


I love my doggy!

I didn't know this was coming out so soon! This is exciting. I'm not someone who cares one way or another for Disney: I don't think it's Antichrist of American entertainment, but I like other animation studios better, and don't really follow Disney, although I will admit to having watched any combination of Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, about sixty-two million times.

However! since I heard it was going to be released, I've been really interested in The Princess and the Frog for several reasons, the primary one being that the movie is going to be more or less in the traditional Disney 2-D style. I'm really happy about this, because I love 2D animation, and, to be honest, have never grown to like the 3D style that's been popular for so long now. I am a crotchety old person when it comes to this newfangled technology messing up my enjoyment of kids' movies, and I will not apologize. :|

But also! 2D animation aside, the setting is so cool! Pseudo-New Orleans with a Voodoo bad guy is something I can totally get behind.

edit: Of course, now that I think about it, I hope the film doesn't portray Voodoo too badly. It's not at all this barbaric, scary religion it's usually made out to be. In fact, the concept of the Voodoo doll as a sort of torture device is incorrect: most Voodoo dolls are used for healing and/or love spells. If you don't know much about about Voodoo, I really suggest reading up on it sometime. It's fascinating.

gather together
all you desire
flesh or fame or
pearls like drops of dew
once you have them
days pass
stars dim to a memory
even the sun
will not be forever
but perhaps life
goes on in the distance

I didn't have a real poem for today so I wrote a fake one. =|
