Nothing too exciting this weekend.

It finally rained, well I would call it more like mist. I am trying to learn how to take better photos with my Canon Rebel XT. I’ve had this camera for 2 years now and still don’t know how to use it properly. I didn’t realize photography was so complicated. Apature, shutter speed, white balance, metering modes, iso’s and more. I’m used to the point and shoot type cameras. Here are some photos of Diesel and I also went out and took some pics to submit to the annual calendar I produce for CustomMagnums.com. And there is a pic of my ugly mug in there. Just got a haircut, it was the longest I have had it since junior high.

Its has now been 80+ hours since my last cigarette. This weekend was tough. I had to keep myself as busy as possible to keep from getting board and craving a cigarette. Ended up taking Diesel out for a couple of walks down to west beach to check out the AVP tour that was in town. Last night at midnight, my roommate smoked his last cigarette. It is going to be an interesting week.

Prison Break is on tonight and only 2 more weeks till the season premiere of Heros. I can’t wait.

This past labor day weekend I went to Lake Havasu. I thought I could take Diesel(my English Bulldog) with me, but at the last minute learned that someone at the house I was staying at was allergic to dogs.  So Thursday afternoon I browse Craigslist for a petsitter and am actually able to find one in a day’s notice. Friday afternoon comes along and we are off to Lake Havasu. Right around Palmdale I get a phone call from my petsitter. She informs me the Juice(my cat) lunged at her and bit her, breaking the skin. Anyone who has been to my house knows how antisocial my cat is towards strangers, but I have only once seen her chase someone. It took a year before she would actually let my roommate pet her. For some reason she was afraid that the cat had rabies and I had to reassure her that she would be fine and was “current” on her shots. Juice has broken skin many times just playing around with me. After I hung up with her, I found it satisfying to know how protective Juice is of her territory.  I know Diesel would just come up and startlooking for attention from a stranger. In summary, don’t fuck with my cat.
