@steveganz as the co-owner of a Mini Cooper, I find that truly terrifying

@effloresense given that you just survived a major layoff, I can't believe they're actually *having* a "fun" event

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 29, 2009 at 8:52:39 PM

@epersonae you should; if you still have it, it would probably be a lot of fun to shoot with

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 29, 2009 at 8:24:12 PM

is going to develop the first roll from a camera I bought last Saturday, a Voigtländer Vito BL. I love German cameras from the 50s....

@surlyshirley ah, the war against the squirrels. I gave up; they won when they destroyed my birdfeeder.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 28, 2009 at 6:58:59 AM

isn't going to make the early train after all, but no matter, the sleet and freezing rain I was trying to beat has already arrived.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 28, 2009 at 6:12:29 AM

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 27, 2009 at 10:00:46 PM

Must be nuts, watching a film in German despite not knowing the language. At least it's about music.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 27, 2009 at 7:02:25 PM

is not looking forward to tomorrow's commute. Looks like the snow will switch to rain & ice around midnight. Bleah.
