**Hal Briston** , your “Wake Up” is killing me with the cute! And I love the side of **jackalope’s** house. I like the house and I like the photo. I’ve had my digital camera about six months. It took me that long to master the advanced setting of “flash” and “no flash.” I look forward to learning about its other features in the coming decades. I liked the STARK REALISM of an actual pile of work sitting on my desk, which also happens to be [purple.](http://pics.livejournal.com/delphica/pic/0001hbtr) Over on LiveJournal, some friends and I were sharing examples of our handwriting.

For [my choice](http://pics.livejournal.com/delphica/pic/0001k976) I took a picture of something I see every day. ---

It’s a now a tricked out NYU lecture hall, very state of the art and all that. I took a Red Cross training class there, and it’s quite nice although you would never know it used to be the Bottom Line. ---

Okay. Here’s some [purple](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/100255718/), taken this afternoon, which has apparently been forgotten after the holidays. The [words](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/99510362/) (or, more properly, the _word_) in this photo are also purple. Bonus points! I’m personally impressed that within [five minutes of waking up](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/97715690/in/photostream/) I was able to both find my camera _and_ compose a somewhat artistic shot. I’ve been pretty prolific with my photography this month, but I’m going to call this shot [my favorite](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/99505181/) . They look so lonely, way up there! ---
