"Sometimes I think it is helpful to think of burial in relation to the earth's crust. What is the radius? Four thousand five hundred miles more or less, to the core of the earth. No, graves are not deep but insignificant, a mere few feet from the surface and not far from fearing and desiring. More or less the same fear, more or less the same desire for thousands of generations. Child, father, father, child doing the same. Fear the same. Desire the same. Upon the crust, beneath the crust, again and again and again. Well, Henderson, what are the generations for, please explain to me? Only to repeat fear and desire without a change? This cannot be what the thing is for, over and over and over. Any good man will try to break the cycle. There is no issue from that cycle for a man who do not take things into his hands."

- Saul Bellow, "Henderson the Rain King"

i'm a photographer and perpetual photography student (it's okay - we're expecting a new shipment of p's tomorrow). i'm also the proud dictat - erm, big boss...of picture this., a fellowship for photographers. if you're a photographer yourself, casual or serious, aspiring or established, and would like to learn about photography and/or share your knowledge of the subject with others, please feel free to request membership. it's a wonderful, very friendly and informative group (i'm not kidding when i say i'm proud of it) and as long as you're not a disruptive, argumentative type we'd be glad to have you. if you'd like to see some of my own photography, you're welcome to browse my stock portfolio at Alamy Images, and prints and other items sporting my photography are available from my personal website.

if you

a) are a resident of the U.S.,

b) have a paypal account, and

c) buy stuff online,

then you want to have a look at BigCrumbs.

trust me. you really do.

BigCrumbs will give you cash back on most of your online purchases (including all your eBay purchases) in return for your doing absolutely nothing beyond using BigCrumbs' links to get to the retailers' sites in order to make those purchases. that's it. you do that, and you'll periodically get emails from BigCrumbs thanking you for using them and telling you that this or that purchase has earned you cash back, and then once a month you'll get another email telling you you've been paid, and you'll find some new money in your paypal account. and those are the only emails you'll ever receive as a result of your joining - BigCrumbs doesn't send any spam, and doesn't release your email address to anyone else. and if you refer people to BigCrumbs, you'll make money every time *they* use it too. it's really something...one of those rare things that sounds too good to be true but isn't. here's how it works:

when you go to a participating retailer's site, the retailer sees that you got there by clicking a BigCrumbs link. if you then buy something, the retailer pays BigCrumbs a commission for having sent a paying customer to their site, and BigCrumbs turns around and pays part of that commission back to the paying customer (that's you). and that's it. that's the whole story. realistically, the only thing that gets in the way of BigCrumbs making us all rich is our referrals neglecting to sign up, or signing up and then forgetting to use their BigCrumbs links to make their online purchases. but you'll earn cash back on your own purchases whether you succeed in referring others or not, so it's definitely worth signing up.

i'm actually in the U.S.. i just like this flag.

oh, oh, oh: Heather Nova.

please do not invite me to your fellowship unless you have a specific reason for inviting me specifically, like that you're a friend (meaning that we've established a personal connection to one degree or another - NOT simply that you come in peace), or you're putting together a Mac-users-only fellowship or something like that. i will not accept ANY generic fellowship invitations, sent just because i have a pulse. thank you.

hmm...just made the achievement of "Death Knight."

i can deal with that. :D

and in closing:

"God, I have a problem."

"What's the problem, Eve?"

"I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."

"And why is that, Eve?"

"God, I am lonely and bored, and i'm sick to death of apples!"

"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."

"Man? What is that, God?"

"A flawed, base creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain. He will be witless and will revel in childish things. He'll be bigger than you and will like fighting, hunting and killing things. He won't be too smart, so he will need your advice to think properly. He will have a very limited emotional capacity and will need to be trained. He will look silly when he is aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. And you most certainly will never be bored again!"

"Sounds great," says Eve, with one ironically raised eyebrow, "but what's the catch, God?"

"Well...you can have him on one condition."

"And what's that?"

"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring...so you'll have to let him believe I made him first. And it will have to be our little secret. You know, woman to woman."
