Penguins Like to Party, too!

Another holiday fun time at the Walrus Arms! Per usual, much champagne was consumed to the enjoyment of all! I learned, too, that penguins are very fond of champagne. I might even go so far as to say too fond...

He looks are happy here, ready to let the good times roll, ready to bring on more bottles of the bubbly...



But then, after a few, suddenly he's all in your face and, like, "back up, bi-atch, that there is my champagne! Do you get it? Do you see me here? I'm talking to you!"



But fear not, faithful readers, I let him know exactly what I thought about him getting up in my face like that!

And while the quality of this pic may not be the best, the smiles on the faces of these lovely friends of mine are just perfect!



Happy New Year's Everyone! Bring on 2010!!!! I'm ready for a new decade of joy and happiness and I mean to have it!

Sometimes there are no words...

Trying Out the New Digital Camera

Just got my new digital camera today -- days early as it wasn't due to arrive until 12/28. There's lot to learn about this thing. It's a Panasonic ZS3. So far I'm liking it. Overall it's easy to get started with and I'm just playing around with some settings. Here are my first favorite feline pics using the pet setting.

Oh, 'da Keiko!


Keiko keeping it real.

Oh, O'Doul's!

No names to protect the guilty.

Beware the Evil that is Cthulhu!

I recently acquired an icon of the evil god, Cthulhu.

Already the apartment is filled with the aura of his horrible beauty.



But some dreaded work is about... I received a second icon of him this afternoon. Could it be the story of old is coming true, that "They had come from the stars, and had brought Their images with Them"? Could it be that this second idol is just a warning of what is still to come?

If so, I say, come! Come Cthulhu, come! Cthulhu fhtagn, Cthulhu fhtagn!
