times keeps on tickin'

It seems that so many pictures bring back this feeling of intense longing, lately. I wish I could go back to this day.. and snuggle with my Leela just a little bit more. She's the fuzzy being on the couch, for those who do not know. I feel like on that day I had the whole world by the ass and didn't even know it. We had just cleaned the living room and I was waiting for my Mom and sister to come down and visit.

I love photographs... but sometimes I wonder if it stems from an unhealthy attachment to the past. Even as I experience life I feel anxiety if I can't capture it. Sometimes I force myself to leave the camera home and be present in the moment. Sometimes I can't manage to do that at all...

Oh well.

Here are the good things about time moving on:

1) That couch, which we bought for $700, now has a doppleganger on craig's list for $120.

2) The lens I've been drooling on for 3 years is now half price, and will soon be within the range where it could become a reality.

3) I don't care as much about what people think of me. I think it's an age thing.

4) We have lots of great technology. Like the iPhone.

5) And iMax movies filmed in 3D.


These are sorta hard to come up with because I'd trade it all for a porch swing and a nice, unscheduled chunk of time.

I wonder how long it'd take for me to miss my iPhone, camera, Tivo, TomTom, Nintendo DS, and Macbook? I'm guessing less than an hour.
