Aurora 365

(placed a close up, detailed moon shot from one photo I took into the wider, lighter photo of the tree and sky.  Both photos taken by me, seconds apart)

I love winter and the cold and the snow, but I still do enjoy the sounds of Spring – rushing water in the storm drains and creeks from the valley’s ridge, the melting snow, dripping water and snow falling from rooftops.

My TV room is almost totally wallpapered in posters.  Most of the decor is Star Wars – posters, ads, postcards, sketch cards, most of a Vader video display and some atrwork printed out from the net.

There’s also some generic art, book, beer and music advertisements a few Buffy/Angel posters, a hockey poster, a framed National Geographic issue and some funny infographics printed from the net.  I once had a lot of generic movie posters from video stores but have gotten rid of them all except a Dark Knight poster (actually an art print) and a Snake Eyes poster (kept only because it’s in German).  There are a couple of art prints from my travels, a collage of my photography and a couple of cross stitch pieces.  Finally, I have a Military component including photos of aircraft and some battle and mission maps.

It all needs to be presented a bit nicer, but that costs money that I don’t have :(

Folio Digital Smartphone Cover With Volant Notebook

Moleskine

I SO want one of these!  It holds my iPhone and a moleskine notebook; two things I almost never leave home without!  The price, though worth it, is the only reason I am not yet a proud owner of one.  I just can’t justify it right now… hopefully one day!

When it’s so cold out the snow has turned to ice and crunches, loud, underfoot.

The Divine Comedy

By Dante Alighieri

Genre: Classic

I want to: find a nice, old copy of this set (pre-1900)

I’ve wanted to read this for a long time but keep holding out for an old copy fit for my collection, but within my budget which means probably never.  I realize I will probably need to just read this from the library or buy a cheap paperback if I want to read it at all this decade!

Summary from Amazon.ca:

The Divine Comedy begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year 1300. It proceeds on a journey that, in its intense recreation of the depths and the heights of human experience, has become the key with which Western civilization has sought to unlock the mystery of its own identity.

I love when it snows LOTS and after the snowblower’s been through, we’re left with these awesome canyons of snow to walk through.  Very cool :)
