Mugging for the Camera

[trinityofone]

Still haven't heard about the you-know-what. Some distraction, in pictorial form:

Last night I went to take out the garbage and saw a brilliant rainbow in the sky—really rare for L.A.


This is the view from the alley at the back of my building, where the dumpsters are, and where I first looked up and went, "Wow!"


Coming back into the courtyard, I could see the rainbow touching down to the east as well.


The rainbow was actually so huge that I couldn't fit the whole thing in one shot! Still, it's really not every day that you get to see rainbows and palm trees together.

wychwood made me the most incredible birthday present this year. She started out with an ordinary mug from Marks & Spencer...


(This is her before photo, which she took, which is why it's of so much better quality than mine.)

The pilot figure in the first and last photos inspired her to use paint to alter (and vastly increase the awesome) of the other figures. So now I have a mug boasting the likenesses of:


A pilot (John Sheppard)


A mountie (Benton Fraser)


An astrophysicist (Rodney McKay)


And the Doctor (the one and only) <--ETA: *realizes what a dumb comment this is* It's Ten, okay? *feels lame*

How incredibly awesome is that? *loves it* (And yes, if you're noticing that there are some cracks in the handle, that's 'cause my cranky mail lady broke it in two cramming the package into my tiny tiny mailbox. Thanks, USPS. Or really, thank god for superglue!)

Okay, those are all the pictures I have ATM. I guess I can work on my booklog, which I am ridiculously behind on. *waits anxiously by the phone like a besotted teenager*

I'm so envious right now. What an awesome present! You are clearly well loved. :)

That mug is made of the awesome. Shame USPS are almost as retarded as PB who posted my back-up modem - granted, a tiny USB dealy - through the letterbox. WTF??? The terms 'FRAGILE' and 'PHOTOS: DO NOT BEND' really don't mean anything to the average mail-person obviously.

Those bottles behind the mug look really cool, btw. And jeez, I wish I lived in a building as nice as that...

I was jogging last night and saw the same rainbow and just had to stop and stare at it. People probably thought I was insane. Oh well.

Is it just me, or does your courtyard/apartment look a whole lot like Veronica Mars'? Awesome.
