Oh, you've got blue eyes

I'm sure my obsession with vintage-izing everything will pass at some point. Just not while it's helping me to stick to this project.

After miss_s_b posted hers, I had a look through the last five years' of entries made on or as near as possible to 15 May. I found it made for a fairly typical cross-section of my favourite journalling topics.

On 12 May 2007, I stood in the library of the Royal Geological Society after several glasses of wine and, er, shouted a random sweary thing. (This was a very confusing time in my life in many ways.)

On 15 May 2008, I recorded spectrograms of my voice while looking for a simple way for my first-year physics project students to record signals from their VLF receiver.

On 15 May 2009, I went to a whisky tasting at the Whisky Exchange with imyril and her boy. I went home clutching a bottle of 18 year old Hakushu.

On 16 May 2010, I was in Noordwijk, Holland, attending a science conference about the nascent NASA/ESA mission to Jupiter.

On 15 May 2011, I wrapped up my participation in the 3W4DW (Three Weeks for Dreamwidth) festival, which didn't really take off this year outside fandom, sadly. Especially since it was the way I met a lot of my non-fandom Circle.

Pretty shot.

Thank you! It's a fairly standard arms-length SP, but I liked the focus and it gave me a chance to play with my eye colour. :)

Um... That... that... picture is definitely of Somebody Else(TM).

It *has* to be a picture of Somebody Else(TM), because otherwise I would be forced to conclude that it was a picture of you.

If it was a picture of you - a person with whom I am in direct and semi-regular communication - then I would be forced to conclude that I am, in fact, in direct and semi-regular contact with a Godess (TM).

I am painfully and continuously aware that I am far, *far* too unworthy to be in direct and semi-regular contact with an actual Godess (TM).

And thus, I am forced to conclude that this is not, in fact, a picture of you. It is a picture of Somebody Else (TM).

This is probably the situation that most ignorant (white) savages are in, when they grope around - constrained by their tragically limited vocabulary - in the locally available lexicon, and resort at last to that trusty standby term... "exotic". [SHUDDER] =:o\

Mea culpa.
