:evil::o:cry:

Okay, I'll admit it. Came on this morning at 8 and POTN was down for maintenance!

But what about my question? What about my PM? Where did all my friends go? How can I reach Jon with the question I had?

I can't breathe. I am feeling completely abandoned.

Oh, it's up again. What the heck is wrong with me? I need a life. :) But I love you all.

That reminded me of that Staples commercial with the guy that freaks out over the Dell printer running out of ink. I could just imagine you wide eyed and waving your arms around in distress. :)

I couldn't wait until 9:30, so I went out. I couldn't take it. :)

But I’m stuck at work. I couldn’t go out and shoot.

BTW, maybe I need to become a smoker. They seem to hang outside all day long. I can smoke and shoot. ;)


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Peking duck is really fattening, but yummy. My husband tried barbecued duck tongues the first time he came home with me. He ate them without knowing what they were. My Dad knew he was the guy for me! He's eat anything! :)

Ok, are duck tongues really tongues? Are they more like mountain oysters, which have nothing to do with the sea?

How did we turn this into a duck story? No wonder POTN goes off air and we are starring at the will return at 9:30 page. I thought at first it said 9am though?

I had to laugh when it said to go out and shoot because it has been pouring rain here the entire day (good since we're in a major drought) and I have no lenses to shoot with! I've been sitting inside with my 3-year-old napping sipping chicken soup and waiting for the UPS man/woman to make the rounds.

I actually went to the Chinese Buffet because I wanted to read my B&H thick book again. I was shopping in it. Since POTN was down, I thought maybe I could just read photography stuff. I think there is something really wrong with me. :)
