So I’ve tried a few aborted blog entries today. I’m just not in a very good mood, I guess, since everything winds up sounding like a bitchy rant. Certain observations are perhaps not the best way to Win Friends and Influence People. Man, am I glad that my contest judge entries are anonymous!

(Um, just kidding about that last part. Though really, I’m going to write an essay about the most common mistakes I see in contest entries, I swear.)

Anyway, so I thought I’d post one of the pictures from Australia. This shot always makes me laugh because people back home were so shocked that I got so close to the kangaroo. The truth is, the real trick is to get them to scram. They’re like giant park squirrels or raccoons, constantly begging. This one would have jumped in our tent given half a chance.

So anyway, just so you know I’m not an evil bitch. I’m loved by small animals.

By the way, expect a lot of annotated photos in the next month, as my blogging time is reduced by NaNoWriMo.
