Dead Cat Is Playing With His Cellphone Again


Seems like people from California are always talking about the weather. Well, can you blame us? I mean, what else is there to brag about. The sky high prices, the clogged freeways? The weather is really the only thing we have going for us out here and it turns out most of you agree. In fact I heard that about 3 million more of you are expected to move here in the coming years. Frankly I don't know where we're going to put you all but I've got a spare bedroom if you think that'll help.

Anyways, it was another spectacularly beautiful day here in the Golden State so I thought this would be a good time to get out my camera phone and finally figure out how to use it. I remember I tried it once when I first bought the phone and the pictures were horrible, but still it was worth another chance. Unfortunately, my first impressions were right on the money. This thing takes terrible pictures. A couple of 'em turned out ok, though, so here goes.


This first shot is the trail where I go walking everyday. Well, most days that is (geez, I hope my doctor isn't reading this). No, honest doc, I'm eating right and walking every day just like you told me to.

Notice the blue sky and sunshine. You might also note the green trees and purple flowers.

Just a typical California winter.

Actually, if my camera phone hadn't managed to screw up the contrast and wash out all the colors you'd see just how pretty a day it was.

That's a jogger in the foreground in case you were wondering. I know it looks like she's hopping up and down on one leg but that's just an optical illusion.


Well, that certainly was exciting.



This next shot is supposed to be a bridge. Unfortunately, my camera phone only has a wide angle lens on it so it wound up looking like a big pile of weeds instead.

Still, if you look real carefully towards the right side of the picture about a quarter of the way down you can see this gray thing kind of sticking out to the left. It kind of looks like a pipe but it's actually the side of the bridge over Los Gatos Creek.

All in all, though, I guess it's not a terrible shot. Kind of existential, in a way.




I had took about 6 or 7 more pic's on my walk but these are the only ones that are worth looking at. I think next time I decide to take photos I'll bring along my regular camera instead. In another month or so the flowers should really start blooming and I should be able to get some nice shots. Until then that's all I have for today.

Actually, I do have one more. Here's a picture of Lionel Barrymore.


There, that's better.
