In my preparations for the summer semester digital photography course, I obtained the camera, some filters and a few other little things, but one thing I forgot, a camera bag. I am so used to my Nikon N7900 fitting into its little leather case and not needing any accessories. For the last few days I […]
I am having a hard time remembering how to really start a website. I am still fighting with LiveCurt.net and everything that it hasn’t become yet. I want to have it as a central location for everything about me, but I don’t know how to do it yet. I like having everything in its place, […]
As all of my readers are probably now aware, I will be taking Digital Photography during the summer semester. I tried taking only one class last summer, but that didn’t go too well, I obsessed over it and didn’t let it have time to rest between interactions with it and overall I feel that I […]
I have been looking to find some perineals to replace some of my “re-seeding annuals” in my front flowerbed. I was scouring the Burpee catalog and looking online for some good plants.

I am perfectly happy writing my fluffy love scenes for keeping to myself, or really hot erotic fictions for sharing with […]
My drawing instructor is now bellowing on a daily basis the number of class meetings we have left. For drawing, we will only meet 4 more times, and for astronomy, we meet 5 more times. There are only 2 weeks left of class and things are going by pretty quick. In previous semesters this timing […]

The Fujifilm FinePix S5200 arrived before I woke up on Friday, perfectly on schedule. In the past few days the camera has taken a little over 100 test images, not a bad start. The camera is certainly more sophisticated than my N7900, which in some instances is a good thing, and in others, not so […]
