Lani Kai: compositionally, it doesn't really speak to me
Lani Kai: and it's in focus near the bottom left edge

Trypto: what's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear 'dandelion'?
Lani Kai: a dandy lion

Lani Kai: so you'll be seeing pictures with crazy distortion soon
Trypto: does it make everyone look like a fish?
Trypto: because I know some people who already look like fish

Lani Kai: Microsoft has agreed to sponsor the International Minesweeper Competition! Many of the top Minesweeper players will attend, and there are prizes! The event will take place in Budapest, 14 April 2007 at Corvinus University.
Trypto: it makes sense that the competition is being held in Eastern Europe
Trypto: considering how many mines there are left over in Yugoslavia

CLXXXIV: Crackpot

©Lani Kai

Trypto: you're supposed to put the hedges on the other side of the fence...
Lani Kai: I fail to see why there can't be hedges there
Trypto: because you use fences to keep people out of the shrubbery, not the other way around
Trypto: they aren't even pretty
Trypto: maybe if they were shaped into rows of little Darth Vader heads or something
Lani Kai: that would incur high maintenance costs
Lani Kai: and since when is Darth Vader "pretty"?
Trypto: Hayden Christensen is teh hotz0rs

CLXXXIII: Acclaim

Lani Kai: so I submitted one of the pictures I took at Big Sur to a Japanese photo magazine contest
Lani Kai: and apparently it won something

Trypto: they like American clothes and American music
Trypto: and now American waterfalls
Lani Kai: I've actually won in the past with another waterfall picture
Lani Kai: can I call myself an "award-winning photographer" now?
Trypto: yes, and "internationally acclaimed nature photographer"

Lani Kai: is that a missile launch base in the Amazon jungle?
Trypto: actually, I think it's an alien observatory on the dark side of the Moon, which everyone knows is lush and verdant
Trypto: ...or maybe it's part of a plastic trashcan that someone left on the lawn?
Lani Kai: nah, it couldn't be that

CLXXXI: Falling

©Lani Kai

Trypto: eek, I'm falling
Trypto: where is that?
Lani Kai: the wall you see here
Lani Kai: the security people stopped me to make sure I wasn't taking pictures of the dumpster
Trypto: dumpsters need their privacy too, you know
Lani Kai: and people playing tennis pong, cows, and bushes don't?
Trypto: it's different

CLXXX: Ping Who?

Lani Kai: heh, that really looks like pong...

CLXXIX: Genuine

©Lani Kai

CLXXVIII: Moo

Lani Kai: I'd try taking out a bit of cyan

Lani Kai: I dunno, it just seems so idyllic

Lani Kai: the library information system
Lani Kai: I had to do 10 hours of observation in the library
Lani Kai: no one does anything interesting, they just look at facebook and myspace
Trypto: I bet they acted differently because they knew you were watching
Lani Kai: what do you suppose they normally do?
Trypto: porn

CLXXV: Chitter Chatter

©Lani Kai

Trypto: what's that guy doing on the wrong side of the railing?
Lani Kai: they were just chatting away
Lani Kai: they were standing there for a while
Trypto: is that restaurant good?
Lani Kai: never been there
Lani Kai: it's actually more like a cafe
Trypto: it looks upscale

CLXXIV: 3/14

Trypto: Happy Pi Day

Trypto: going for the 1024x768 are we?
Lani Kai: what do you mean?
Lani Kai: it's 1024x682 or something
Trypto: oh
Trypto: why would you do that?
Lani Kai: my camera has a 3:2 aspect ratio
Lani Kai: 1024x768 is 4:3, which is what compact digital cameras have
Lani Kai: 3:2 is carried over from 35mm film
Trypto: that's just silly
Lani Kai: you're just silly
Trypto: your MOM is silly
Trypto: BUURRRRNN

Trypto: gosh
svelteDR: it's ironic that it's across the street from JHU [Johns Hopkins University]
svelteDR: AND, they're all old people
svelteDR: so in like five years
svelteDR: I think there won't be any more Christian Scientists
Trypto: hhahahahaaha
