Long Live the Weekend
Painting? No, it’s Samara.
Puppy.
Scrabble. Over and over.
Lizard! No chameleons this time, sorry guys.
Every single bone, joint, and muscle in my body aches. I am too used to sitting all day staring at a monitor and frying my brains typing things on the keyboard. The great outdoors were once my thing, before I became a digital hermit. And now, badminton, mountain climbing, chasing after lizards, racing kids, throwing Frisbees, all mean one thing: PAIN.

I’m totally feelin ya! My shoulders are tense, my neck aches, my eyes are too squinty, I’m easily irritated and I finally made the connection that it’s something in front of a screen for hours at a time that sucks the energy out of you like that.
I wish it didn’t just snow 6 inches overnight, I envy you :)

Nice photos, especially the one with the lizard.
Question, how is his tail still attached? I thought these detach their tails on danger.
Tip: Manually set whitebalance to daylight in your camera when you are shooting outside.

I can’t believe someone used "tit" as a word in scribble! :)
hehehehe
Awesome shot with the lizard! I’m usually disgusted by these things. You’re braver than I thought :)

Asoom, the snow will eventually melt and you can go out and enjoy the sun :) Try doing something recreational indoors, not involving the computer. I always try and fail, but better luck to you! Hehe!
Sari, thanks for the tip. I will keep it in mind. This is a common lizard, so the tail does not detach. The type that does is called Abu Brais (don’t know the English name for it), it’s basically the little see-through reptile that lives INSIDE houses in rural areas. It grows its tail back if you let it go, and the detached tail is a LOT of fun to play with. When I was younger, I used to stick it on my nose and watch it wiggle. I know that playing with cut-off animal parts which still move is gross and creepy, but it’s me, so that should explain things.
Qwaider, that was actually my word. ‘Sod’ was mine too. Go figure.

I was hoping that word was “titan”or “title!” Your fingers look good, don’t pick at them anymore :p

That’s just the thumb of my left hand, don’t be deceived! This is called ‘optical illusion’ :D

That does not explain anything. It only adds more questions.
But at least now we know that your were always this was and not the result of some accident or evil scientific experiment.

Have you considered yoga or Tai Chi?

No, Yoga seems too tranquil for me. Tai Chi is a form of martial arts, right? That could work. Or I could buy a punch bag.
