I wasn't sure what to post for Future. It's not like I've been there. Once or twice I've considered making the trip, but ruled it out due to the risks of screwing up my timeline.
On the off-chance that a little beaver might have helped me I went looking for him, but found him limping about on the landing nursing his ankle. I didn't want to bother him so let him be.
But yesterday evening, just before I went to bed, at approximately 10:04, I noticed a desultory group of characters doing something strange.
I ignored it, of course, but thought I'd share a photo.
This is an entry for the 'Mega-Extreme' 30 Days of Photographs, hosted by Michael and Ziva. Click on the image to view a larger version. You can view all photos from the series Here.The participants are myself, 00dozo, Bryan, aka Unfinished Person, Cheryl, Elizabeth A., John, a.k.a. nonamedufus, Katherine, Kristen, LaughingMom, Malisa, Mariann, Meleah, Michael, Nicky and Mike, Nora, Pam, Tanya, Ziva.
The "sequel" to Perdido Street Station, one of my absolute favourites, and I'm enjoying it just as much, if not more so.
The worlds and races Mieville creates are simply superb. If you've not read this series and you like "weird fiction" then please crack on and get reading.

Holy beaver! This is a riot. WHO has a Deloean just sitting around??? This has to be my favorite so far - you should add recreating famous movie scenes to your picture book idea collection. You've got MJ Beaver...you could use the raccoon for Rocky...etc

If you have time to imagine, set up, and take pictures like this, then yes, I'm saying that you have time. Plus when April is over - you'll have all of the time that you've spent (wasted) with this non-competition.

Did you ever consider the
Did you ever consider the possibility that the beaver is from the future, and he saw you go mad with frustration when you couldn’t come up with any ideas for a single theme, and how you day after day had to endure the bite of my whip until you snapped, and now he’s come to you in the past to help you through this difficult challenge, providing you with ample photo opportunities all the while trying not to let his past self see his future self? In another few days he’ll go back to the future, and you’ll never see him again. Except in the past. Which is the present.
Um, I love the photo. :)
Well I did consider the

This has got to be the most elaborate set shot you (or anyone) has done. Truly amazeaballs! Everyone else already got the BTTF/Fox stuff out there but I have to say, I do like Ziva's thinking on this one.

Since I cannot predict the
Since I cannot predict the future and I certainly don't know what it may hold for you, the question, therefore, should be: Is that what you want? (But I really like the bunnies - they're soooo cute!) Heh, heh.
Is that what I want? Hell no.
Is that what I want? Hell no. Although I also like the bunnies.
