The lobster rolls were divine, the sand cool and the ice cream melty. Wonderful.

My second (and favorite) diptych so far.

My First Diptych (REDyellow)

...

So I am in love with the diptych. This is my first attempt and I am super happy with the results. I love how the red/yellow/building theme binds the two photos together (not to mention that they look like one building when posted together), yet the photos contrast in really neat ways (vertical vs. horizontal lines, muted vs. vibrant colors, etc.). *Sigh. I heart diptychs. And I heart these girls, and this one.

Playing with GIMP plug-ins can sometimes get out of hand...

Kind of empty and sad.

My glass is ready to be filled.

Whats for Dinner?

Fava bean pasta. I've never used these fresh before. Phew. Lots of work, but worth the effort.

This is so very Montreal.

Quebec City. (Is so awesome)

Random Wikipedia Concept of the Day: Bidet

Why? Because we have one in our bathroom and it has been kind of intriguing us/grossing us out at the same time. How are you supposed to use that thing? I am definitely one of the ones who was raised with the conception that they are totally nasty. I mean, a butt washing station? (Oh, excuse me, a butt and genital washing station?). Gross. Ick. Especially since people seem to think that they are also great for foot washing. Gag.

Okay. I totally understand that I am backwards to think that, um, wiping up a mess with paper is better than say, wiping up the mess and then washing the affected area, so to speak, its just that I grew up in a culture where toilets are totally full of germs. A bidet is not a toilet, but it looks like a toilet (or a urinal, to be more precise), and also has butt germs washed all over it. Not any place where I want to be submerging my nether-region.

Maybe one of these days I will work up the courage to use it, but for now it is going to remain unused, staring me in the face every single time I go in the bathroom. Thanks, Wikipedia, for reminding me that sometimes I really don't want to know everything about everything.
