has anybody ever noticed how cat toes bear an eerie resemblance to the fruit snacks of our youth? you know, the simple, chewy, pod-shaped ones?…unlike the annoying and cloying newfangled sugar shooters of today, like this crap.

i’ve yet to find another person who is in agreement with me on this. hello? are you out there? if so, let’s be soul mates.

anyway, i’m super-bummed b/c my camera is out of commission. the lens is stuck and will not retract. prognosis is very grim. according to some “research” i’ve done online, there’s not much that can be done unless you just use sheer brute force to shove the lens back in. i don’t have the heart to do this quite yet.

i was hoping to share pictures of all sorts of things, like fourth of july, which was spent on a patio boat in the san pablo reservoir, where fran caught a CRAPPIE. am i the only one who finds this amusing? a fish called crappie. i named him “carl.”

it would’ve been nice to post a photo from the museum’s BLAST OFF event, of derek and anthony drawing on a community mural (their brilliant idea), surrounded by a gaggle of happy children armed with markers. and of hellen attracting a curious crowd to her screenprinting table. BLAST OFF was a six-hour long beautiful and joyous scene. it felt good, i felt good.

sigh. perhaps camera death happens when you take 8,000 pictures in six months. it’s kinda crazy how unhealthily attached i’ve become to my camera. i’m obsessed with capturing almost everything that captures me. which means A LOT of stuff.
