I am posting this because I can't seem to keep up with comment replies. I try to say something nice to every person kind and decent enough to say "thank you", but some days I just can't be bothered.

So this is a big "you're welcome" and "I adore your work!" to everyone whose work I put into my Favorites, or whom I add to my Watch list. If I have done this for you, it means your work has touched me and excited me. I don't randomly hit "Add" for little to no reason. I can only say "I love your work!" so many times before I sound like a broken record, unfortunately, so please know that I mean it as a strong compliment. I get much joy out of your efforts.

For those of you who have actually commented on my work, I am especially grateful that you've taken a few moments to say something. I don't usually make comments directly on other people's pieces because, again, I'd sound like a broken record. I should probably make more of an effort anyway, I know. Regardless, even if it's just a couple words, the act of typing them means a lot, and I appreciate it.

Congratulations to the 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics. When this past season began I knew the C's had something happening. I became a fan of this edition of the NBA's most storied franchise early in the season because of their dedication and passion. Worst to First -- one of the few ways a championship season could be even more dramatic. Kevin Garnett said it best, wrapped in the proud embrace of his new friend, the legendary Bill Russell: "I got my own!" Savor the moment, guys, you earned it. I'm looking forward to your duels with my other teams, the Cavaliers and Spurs, in the fall.

The Firefox weirdness continues. I still can't browse past page 1 of a gallery... if I open the next page in the same tab. If I open it in a new tab, though, everything loads fine. This is madness!

I'm going to need a new camera if I'm ever going to get any better at this. The five megapixel setting on my Nikon comes out looking horrible. I should consider upgrading while I still have some money.

This is an odd way to make one's first DA journal entry, I know, but something has been bugging me for a while. I cannot browse past the first page of anyone's gallery on DA -- I get blank pages after that. Does anyone know why this might be?

I'd like to get more pictures up here, but I've pretty much tapped out the best places within walking distance and as I still don't have a car, I'm kinda stuck most of the time. Hopefully this will be changing soon.
