 Yesterday I went down to the tiny skate park near my house to get some action shots. There was a family there - a father and two boys, each with their own BMX bike, and a younger boy taking pictures with a digital camera. The younger boy saw my camera and started asking questions of this stranger unashamedly, the way that young kids do. He told me he was from Queanbeyan where the skate parks where bigger, and those were his brothers and father. I had to explain to him how my disposable film camera worked, that it didn't take film clips, that I could only take 27 shots ('daddy's camera takes as many as you want!' ) and that I couldn't look at them until after I sent them away to the camera shop, so I wouldn't know if I made a mistake. He said, 'I've never seen a camera like that.' I told him, 'It's an old-fashioned camera.' Whoa. Times change. |

The original post is funny and strange, but I think the comments are even better.
 A warm mystery in every single olfactive movement.

This is posted on Cute Overload with the following catption:
"I've been waiting on the GD bus all day. I can't believe they raised the fare to one squirmy wallaby. It used to be one hamster round trip."  This world? The one where potty-mouthed gibbons hold wallabies while waiting for the bus on day-glo benches? That's the one I live in. |

"The theme is 'the ocean and what it means to you'. Please come along in your fishing or surfing gear."
Because of course, they expect the ocean to mean fishing or surfing to everyone.  |

my own adventures make me laugh--
just 20 minutes ago i went outside in my PJs to bring the wheelie bin to the street to be emptied and to reset my parking meter to 10:00-- and when i did all of that and wanted to get into my apartment again, i noticed that the key was all bent, it must've gotten stuck in the lock or something. it didn't fit. um..... oops!  so there i was, in my PJs, with no phone, no access to my house, nothing. fortunately i did have my car keys, so i drove to my parents' house (risking a 200 euro fine for not having my license with me ), looked up my mom's phone number and called her, she came and handed me the spare key to my apartment. i'm so happy her office is so close to where i live |
