Where's a bell tower when you need one?

Man, I have SUCH a crick in my neck from leaning over my desk for days on end. I think I'm falling apart. I never used to be fidgety too much, but today I kept having to shift in my chair for a good portion of the day because I was uncomfortable. So I called my mom (who happens to be my doctor's secretary) to see if he'd write a note or some such saying I need a better chair for work. Due to budgetary constraints, we have to have a doctor's order in order to get the comfy chairs. So, hopefully I can get a better chair.

In any case, I feel a little like Quasimodo...

I'm thinking of taking a temporary leave of absence from my forum for awhile. Things are kind of winding down what with most of the members off doing other things in the real world, so we don't have a lot of participants anymore, except for a loyal few. Plus, I have neither the time nor inspiration to do any writing of my own. So I think taking a step back for the time being will do me some good. I had a hard time with this decision for a while because I do enjoy being there for the most part and we've been doing it for several years now. But, we're all getting a little older and are moving forward with our lives and don't have a lot of time for being on the forum. I'd hate to completely end things, though...

I took some awesome pictures of the moon last night! I wanted to mostly test to see how close my zoom was. Pretty darn close if you ask me!

clicky! clicky! clicky!

There's a lunar eclipse tonight, but I don't know if I'll be able to see it since It's pretty cloudy out.

ETA: Yay. The Red Tide has graced me with it's presence. As long as it's subsided by the time I see Michael Bublé on Saturday, I'll not have to hurt someone.

Thanks!

Nice photos. What settings did you use?

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. I just zoomed in and snapped! I'm one of those "less complicated" camera users.

I will say I used my new digital camera though! The same one I took with me to St. Augustine. It's pretty nifty!

[dbates.livejournal.com]

What kind of camera did you get?

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

This one (http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-s5-is/4505-6501_7-32441341.html)! It's pretty nice for a "point and shoot". Mom really likes it... although she has her own camera.

That's a good one. Mine is a Canon 10D. It's about three iterations out of style now but still does a great job.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

It is nice. Mom wants one because of the zoom, which is pretty decent if you look at the moon pics.

Cameras are kinda like computers in that aspect. The minute you buy one, it becomes obsolete...

Nice pics. If you can get pictures of the eclipse then please do so *hehe*.

My chair hasn;t started kicking my arse yet, but I know that it's coming >__<.

Well, I think that the people on the forum will understand. Whatever your decision may be, I'm sure that it'll be the correct one.

Alas I wasn't able too. too cloudy. T__T

They seem to be pretty understanding about it. They obviously don't want me to go, but they understand this is something I need to do for a while. I don't plan on staying away too long, though.

Hi Quasimoda,
I feel like you,necks ache are awful.
from wich forum do you talk about?
It makes one sad if a forum/community/group lost hisself.

It a RPG-ish forum a group of us started a few years ago where we can give favorite anime (and television and novel) characters a chance to intermingle and whatnot. I'm the administrator of it since I found a home for all of us over in Proboards.
