So for the first time I have voted in a presidential election (this was my 3rd for those of you math-challenged) the person for whom I voted actually won! Not only that, but I was passionate about the candidate, as opposed to my previous attitude of “well, at least it isn’t George Bush.” I still think “thank goodness it’s not going to be George Bush,” but that is probably because I’m slightly traumatized at the past eight years of having a president who had not a care in the world for our basic civil or human rights. Too dramatic, even for me? I don’t think so.
In other news, last week my vet had photographers taking photos. They had the sign up sheet out a week after Mischief died, and so I signed up Bandit and Binky to go in and get photos taken. One thing that bothers me is I didn’t get enough pictures of Mischief before he died, so I figured professional ones would be great. Personally, I go bananas trying to take photos of them at home – even with my Canon EOS 40D
Your cats seem quite willing to sit still. Despite her 16 lbs, mine won’t pause long enough for a non-blurry picture.
Well, Bandit (the bigger one) turns into a moldable lump when he’s nervous, and Binky (the wee one) was being bribed with a cat chaser above his head.
Mischief would NEVER sit still, he’s a blur in 99% of the photos I have of him…
The issue with black cats, if you can get them to sit still, is trying to focus on them – either manual or automatic focus on a black hole is incredibly difficult.
