Remember how I shot a tree in the Taco Bell drivethrough through my windshield with the wipers off a week or so ago? It made the Photo of the Week poll.

It's solidly in last place behind the other finalists. Do take note of the gushing over the cat. Anything with a cat in it gets gooshy comments and lots of votes.

See, told ya response to art is completely subjective.

In unrelated news, I saw a story about a photo exhibition at a small gallery here on The Island - and of course, you can't actually see the photos online in the story, though a few are on the gallery website here.  So I thought, that's kind of cool and started poking around to see what it would take to submit something to hang there and realized it would probably cost me more to print, mount, frame, become a member ($65/year, plus $20 submission fee for each thematic exhibit) and give them their cut (45% of any sale) than it would be worth - assuming anyone would actually buy anything. I have no idea if this is usual as I've never done this sort of thing, but 45% commission? For a photo by unknown me at a little local gallery that gets an unknown amount of traffic? Think I'd be losing money on this vain little scheme? Yeah. Me too.

Headachy this afternoon, possibly as a result of my sinuses mimicking a barometer, combined with working on a brain numbing make-work project at work. Definitely glad I decided not to attempt to camp this weekend, particularly as the site logistics mean carrying (or dragging a wagon) from the parking area to wherever one ends up pitching a tent. (Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty park and we're lucky to have a good relationship with the county and be able to use it, but the portaging of crap gets old pretty quickly.) I'm going to try to get a decent night's sleep and day trip the event.

Just watched The Men Who Stare At Goats, which was fun. I admit I wasn't sure whether I was going to like it, but it was pretty good.
