(a)musing: small things

• Went to a site in Montara, Ca this morning. It was foggy and cold and I have never seen so many banana slugs in my life. This one was in love with a primrose.
• Flickr apparently doesn't allow you to mass download your own photos. This is ridiculous. There are a ton of pirate type programs you can download to help you do it, but I have had bad luck with that before. My flickr account has all the pictures I lost when my hard drive crashed (no, not backed up, yes, facepalm). I ordered two CDs from QOOP, a service partnered with Flickr that will do it for you. It cost me $35. Waste of money? No. I'll save that much by not renewing Flickr this year. Download any pics you want now.
• I am going to clean my apartment from top to bottom this weekend. I considered paying someone to do it (I have only done that once; it was glorious), but since I just spent $35 on photos and August was a heavy retail therapy month, I'll be scrubbing away myself.
• I leave for vacation soon. To say I am excited would be the understatement of this new decade.
• I watched all of LOST. I thought it was fantastic and beautiful.
