Yea those were my initials ... heh... good catch.

The camera is actually not as impressive as you might think... It's an Olympus C5050Z in a standard boring PT-015 housing with a INON D2000 light. I wanted to get something for my nikon, but it was just too expensive...

Meh. Looks ok. I'm going to Kansas tomorrow - that's where you get the best pictures. On the prairie, in the middle of nowhere, nothing but scary right-wingers for miles and miles around. Sigh.

BTW - I saw the picture of the fat naked lady laying on the ground. I'm totally reporting you for inappropriate content.

And welcome back. Someone actually had to make due with my writing advice in your absence.

Since you are now a family man, let me quote a passage from a wonderful book for married couples. If people think this is too instructive or offensive, I will delete it.

---from Dr. Gary Chapman's 5 love languages---
Marriage Myth: Married life is unhappy life.

Fact: Studies show that married people have better emotional and physical health, longer lives, greater sexual satisfaction,
greater incomes, and more accumulated wealth.

Your emotional love language and the language of your spouse may be as different as Chinese from English. No matter how hard you try to express love in “English”, if your spouse understands only “Chinese”, you will never understand how to love each other.

Your emotional love language and the language of your spouse may be as different as Chinese from English. No matter how hard you try to express love in “English”, if your spouse understands only “Chinese”, you will never understand how to love each other.

Being sincere is not enough. We must be willing to learn our spouse’s primary love language if we are to be effective communicators of love.

My conclusion after thirty years of marriage counseling is that there are basically five emotional love languages—five ways that people speak and understand emotional love. However, there may be numerous dialects. The important thing is to speak the love language of your spouse.

Communicating love isn’t as easy as feeling “in love,” because it’s quite a different thing. Falling in love is not an act of the will or a conscious choice. It’s effortless. One who is “in love” is not genuinely interested in fostering the personal growth of the other person. If the euphoric pleasure of being “in love” never ended, we might never experience true love and meaningful communication.

Love is something you do for someone else, not something you do for yourself. Most of us do many things each day that do not come “naturally” for us. For some of us, that is getting out of bed in the morning. We go against our feelings and get out of bed because we believe there is something worthwhile to do that day. And normally, before the day is over, we feel good about having gotten up. Our actions preceded our emotions.

The same is true with love. We discover the primary love language of our spouse, and we choose to speak it whether or not it is natural for us. You might not love the language itself, but speaking it will clearly communicate love to your spouse.

Love is a choice. And either partner can start the process today.

Hey cool, I took photos of that cinema :) It's closed down now sadly.

Wonder if I can rent that anywhere or if I have to buy it. Probably have to buy it.
