"Slavery By Another Name, Part I"

quantam leap....sure

my great benefactor, nadim y, is giving me a camera. it is one that was passed down to him by HIS benefactor, and now he is passing it on to me. it's old...there is no mistaking that.

but i love it.

morning surprise

in the past, and its really because of the condition of my house and its surrounding environs, periodically if you open a drawer you might find an ant or a roach (that is much too big to be just a roach...they are more like the prehistoric ancestors of these filthy little...they do live long enough). kholaseh, i was suprised today when i went to go fix my morning meal of eggs and toritillas that there, scrunched real tight into the corner of the drawer so as not to be seen, was a little tan lizard, about the size of my pinky.

at first i didn't know what to do, but then i calmly got my utensils out and slowly closed the drawer again.

this little fellow must be the reason the ants and the roaches have not been seen lately - so it's better just to let him be i guess.

but the real surprise was when i went to turn on the burner to heat up the skillet and the fire wouldn't ignite - there was no gas. :P
