Actually did manage to go take that walk; from Nussdorf up the Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg and down to Klosterneuburg; nothing exciting but rather nice, and at least I got to stretch my legs a bit. Russian vocabulary on my iPod on the underground & train, so there's that, too.

Lazy evening, reading (interrupted by Ch. on the phone with the biweekly horse update and half an hour of other stuff mostly related to her flute playing that I couldn't care less about, but she's one of the people who'll just talk at you and never stop), answering comments and watching TV with half an eye; bits of Apocalypto, I'm ashamed to say, but while Mel Gibson has become one of the people who make me avoid whatever he produces on principle, and, yes, it's the racist piece of crap everyone said it was, holy shit, the costumes. And then I channel surfed into Kama Sutra, and the first person I see is Suzie from Torchwood. Apparently there's really no getting away from it.


23:02, 11 hours until it's back to work, but sitting here with a glass of red wine, listening to JB, who sometimes really does make everything a little better & generally feeling rather mellow, for once I have to say it actually turned out to be a much better day than it looked like this morning.


(Also, um, new people? I'm not usually this inanely spammy. Really.)

Hey, wanted to tell you, I had a friend in my cubicle on Thursday, and she suddenly said, "That's a beautiful picture!" She was talking about one of yours (though I don't know which one; I use a bunch of them as a screen saver, and it had changed by the time I turned around). I told her they were taken by someone I'd met online, and she asked if you were a professional photographer, because you're certainly good enough. And she agreed that there's something about your pictures that are just so alive.

Thank you for telling me - somehow I've lost my enthusiasm a bit recently, so I'll consider this a kick in the ass and finally start researching buying a new lens for my camera... :)
