First things first: Happy Birthday, Colleen; wherever you are.

It is ironic, but the problem I was having with Flickr not allowing contacts to use my photos in galleries is fixed, and along with it I am now a member of the elite club of Flickrites whose photos have been blessed with being in Explore. Not only am I now a member of that august group of "interestingness" photographers, I have two photos posted this week and recognized as being interesting. All because someone hacked my account in 2006 and placed a pornographic photo in place of one of mine. Not only did the porno replace my photo, I could not delete it; I had to contact Flickr administration whom investigated my complaint and after several hours removed the offensive smut. Flickr kept my account as "safe", but placed a NIPSA rating on it also. Whatever NIPSA is, it prevented other people from downloading or doing anything with my photos, and excepted me from being on Explore. I was neglected for so long by the Explore people that I came to not giving a crap; I still do not.

I feel very depressed this weekend. I have become a disappointment to people I care about and whom care about me. At times like this (and there have been others), I feel like chucking the whole internet thing, acting my age, and going to dozing in front of the tv for hours at a time. We oldsters sometimes feel sorry for ourselves I suppose, but even more so for the people we have negatively affected.

Sitting in front of the tv is not bad, especially if you have a chance to watch really good movie recorded on DVD. Like my today: Polish movie "A little Moscow". It's beautiful film about love and it shows how difficult is relationship between Poles and Russians. There are Russian actors in this movie, so it was a great pleasure for me to listen to this language, which is really beautiful.
Keep smiling my friend. Try to find on youtube song of Lenny Kravitz "Little Girl's Eyes". It's so beautiful that I would like to cry. If we feel depressed, beauty is a good medicine, simply.
I couldn’t take the photos today. Bad weather. No sun. It wouldn't be colours and contrast.
I'm happy that I can spend some time on Internet on weekend (on weekdays is rather impossible).
Kisses. :-)
Hi Jola,
If I remember correctly, you speak Russian, so it probably was interesting. I like French movies; I love the language even though I do not understand it.
Yes, that is a very good song. :-)
Our weather is also bad, much rain and now cooler. I do not feel much inspiration for making photos. Winter blahs are setting in.
I know you are busy with work and things on weekdays; use your free weekends wisely. :-)
Pa, Jola. :-)
Flickr is so Fickle. :-)
I think we all get those blah days... Only now we can catch a nap or read a good book, or music... I think I prefer this to being young and tied to a job or the rat race.
I have been reading some pretty good writing on this blog recently. You've got what it takes to put out a good book. I wish you every success with your book.

Yahoo will eventually screw Flickr up and they will be replaced by something else. They have lots of competition. As long as the competition allows you to import your Flickr pics to thier site people will be happy.
Depression sucks. I would say I suffer from it. Too much time alone to internalize everything.

Thanks, Maggie.
Your encouragement is always appreciated. :-)
Thanks, Mark.
I think I've had more depression this year than in all the rest of my life put together.
Yeah; being alone, or seemingly alone leads to depression.
