Carrying on …
August ended. September began and … there’s just so little to say about it, really.
We celebrated my father’s birthday with an ice cream cake. The same good old ice cream cake we always buy, which tasted exactly the same as the first time we bought one. Hopefully, it’ll never change.
My father had to change some batteries for our backup power. Power outages have become a bit more frequent, so having backup power that lasts a tad longer is a good thing. Not that candlelight is bad, but it’s best to avoid the possibility of fire. There are few places around the apartment where a candle will burn safely.
What else … oh, right. On the 21st, I had to go to college. Not for class, of course, but to apply for re-admission so the system would be open to me for the next –and final– term. Turns out that I don’t need to apply for such a thing because I’m all out of subjects. All I had to do was fill the upper half of a form, applying for a monograph. After that, I walked around a bit to see if anything had changed, and met with some of the people who hang out near the Coffee Store tables area.
Besides all that, and apart from getting a haircut, I stayed at home (I know, surprising). Slept a lot, ate little (but enough) and not much else was done that month.
My mother’s been bothering me about those courses I’m supposed to do, to earn my remaining hours. Turns out that I’ve got less hours than I previously thought. While in college, I asked the lady there if it was possible to know how many hours I had at the moment. She did a quick check and said … 42. Forty-two. Not just the answer to life, the Universe and everything, but also way more hours than I previously guessed. Perhaps they’re just giving them away to those who are close to graduation or something, but the remaining eighteen hours can be covered by just one course, or a few free (or cheap) conferences that take place on campus.
That was September … and October isn’t over yet. Given that there’s a similar level of activity this month, I could sum it up in a post as short as –or shorter than– this one.
However that may work out, reader(s), I leave you with a semi-decent view of a September half-moon.
Until next month time.
I can understand why it’d be tough to hold a camera still while holding a plate with your midget hands. Cake looks good, my favorite kind (I know, I say that about most cakes) cause you get all the main cake flavors at one time.
Hey, you have the same turtle as me, one of mine is a yellow-bellied, is that the same as yours or slightly different? btw, is that just the same turtle in those two pictures? If it is, then then the captions were soooo nerdy.
You’re school is easy, go to conferences and get credit towards graduation. And you complain
lazyarse???btw, happy your posts are getting shorter :P don’t comment on my comment lengths though and you eat like a king, corn and mac & cheese, I wish for.
We’ve got two turtles. They’re the same kind as yours.
If that’s what kings eat, I don’t see why people would crave for power :P
The turtle shots are way cool…Are they someone’s pet, or were they wild? They look almost surreal–like sculptures in polished plastic or something…
Our pets! We keep them in a plastic tub.
It is interesting to read your blog again. Life has driven me away from blogging and your documentary style of photography really makes the reading pleasant.
That turtle does look familiar. Your pet i believe?
Yes, pets, although they don’t really do much.
