Nina's Known Universe

So here it is 2009 - February no less and I am just now getting around to writing again. Not even real writing, just my babbling nonsense as I try to 'clear my guns' as it were. Thank you BSG for the fine euphemism and for being an all consuming obsession of mine for the better part of the last 2 years.

Recently my addiction has waned some, but the final episodes now airing have my blood all stirred up. And thus my focus has shifted from writing about the show to actually watching...with my prior distraction being a cram course of re-watching to get my husband caught up.

Additionally, if you feast your eyes on the new layout of the this blog you will see my Zazzle Gallery's flash panel along with that of one of my friends. From there you will see my other and currently most prominent obsession...graphic design. Having discovered The Gimp some months ago, my interest in graphics was already simmering when my friend introduced me to Zazzle.

Add to that a creative streak, a weensy bit of 'eyeballing' talent, a new digital camera that takes the sharpest pictures I have ever personally taken, an environment full of photo ops (not to mention books of pictures yet to be scanned) and an adorable puppy, and you have your self one doosey of a distraction salad.


In other news, I took Dozer, the royal Labrador puppy, on his first real hike, complete with doggy backpack. He looked so cute and had a great time with my friend's dog. We didn't go to far, this being my first hike off the treadmill in 2 years, but he did so well, he is a natural trail dog, that we will be going a lot in the near future.
