A Lovely Day for Diving... (a Better Day for Hockey!)

As of this moment, I can officially admit to having run about in the outdoors through the cold mud barefoot  and wearing naught but a bikini on a 47F/8C morning in the pouring rain.

And guess what? We are no closer to our open-water certifications than we were this time yesterday! (Through no one's fault but the cruel witch called Fate....)

Bobby and decided to go home and chill out for the evening. Alas, we were five minutes from home when Bobby's friend Wayne calls: His girlfriend got sick, and he can't use his tickets for the Capitals' home opener tonight, so do we want to go instead?

Friday Memeage!

Firstly, the fannish5 is a goody!

Name five fanfic cliches you hate.

In order to avoid hurting feelings and causing drama (both of which y'all know that I despise), I would like to ask my that my replies be taken more as "Name five fanfic cliches that I generally find overdone and not particularly written to my tastes." I am sure--in fact I know--that there are excellent representations of all of these things but, most often, I find that they do not particularly suit me.

Next, initially seen at juno_magic and since copied elsewhere: the stupid things meme!

( Stupid Things that I've Done )

Seen at rhapsody11 and pulsarkat: My life soundtrack.

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend your cool...

This could be embarassing, but here goes!

Photo Meme for ladyelleth

Since I had to return my rental gear to the dive shop today, I photographed it all per the request of ladyelleth. The others are on their way within the next few days!

Taking the lead from sirielle, I have Photoshopped in comments indicating what you're looking at (since dive gear can look pretty mysterious to a non-diver) and explaining what's what for anyone who is interested. The only thing I couldn't photograph were the air tanks, which we returned yesterday. But that's one of the more boring items anyway.

Oh, and if you see strange numbers painted on the stuff...it's rental equipment! The wetsuits, BCD, gloves, hood, and regulator are all rental gear.
