Of course, then it all went to hell when it occurred to me that project I kept postponing is due on Monday. As a lovely webcomic once stated – “We’re not normal people. We’re grad students” (or something along those lines). Oh well… I’ll at least leave *you* people with the Zen…

This was taken at Balea Lac (Lake Balea) in the Fagaras Mountains. After all of my parents’ backpacking stories involving it, I was actually quite excited to finally see it.

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a pretty butterfly…

That having been said, I must now run along and make a mess of the fine art of packing. Cheers!

The track itself was a tad too tricky to stop for photos, not to mention the fact that I obviously didn’t have my tripod with me for those long exposure night shots. Oops… I didn’t mention we left Busteni at 10 p.m. and got there at 5:30 a.m., did I? Good thing my parents don’t read this…

However, once we got there, I was fortunate enough to get this glorious picture perfect weather that morning (after a couple of hours of sleep, that is), so I figured I’d share what I have to show for it.

How often can you hear a normal, decent person say they single-handedly reduced to silence a highly frequented forum thread of one hundred and forty-six pages, with one post? I should take note and refrain from having my critique requests unleash further death and destruction upon the world.

Then again, at times, I briefly think to myself that maybe my photos were so inspiring, that everyone was too much in awe basking in their glow, to actually reply. Because I’m confident, like that.

No matter, the show must go on. (I feel I’ve said that somewhere before. Either that, or I’m suffering from deja-vu syndrome, which sounds so glamorous, I couldn’t help but see a silver lining in it all.)

Fearful as I may be of the consequences, I dare present to you my latest weapon of mass forum destruction…

As you may suspect, this was also taken sometime this summer, and I hate my then self with a vengeance for being in a warm sunny place, with glorious mountains to gaze upon and not a care in the world. I also hate my future self for being not just cold, but at the very least snowed upon.

However, it has come to my attention that I am beginning to make less and less sense, which can only be a clear indication of the fact that I am now too sleepy to be coherent. I shall now bid you good night, before I start quoting limericks in a shakespearean tongue.
