September I'll Remember: Start your engines

Monday is the first day of September, and that means our month-long photo-taking project starts again!

The challenge: take and post precisely one photograph every day for the month of September.

If you want to participate, here's how you do it:

1. Join Flickr if you haven't already. Basic membership is free, and you can login with your Yahoo ID.


2. Go to our Flickr group page and click "Join This Group" at the top


3. Go find your camera and make sure your battery's charged! :-)


4. Start taking pictures on Monday. Every day, upload one to Flickr and post it to the September I'll Remember pool. (That should be an option when you upload the picture.)


5. Check out (and comment on) other people's pictures! Edit: You can also follow the photostream in your very own LJ friends list by friending the syndicated feed at septillremember.

Weekend fail

Thursday night we were supposed to go out for a friend's birthday, but I was exhausted so we left after putting in a brief appearance.

Friday night, a different friend invited us over for shisha, but then succumbed to jetlag and slept through the evening.

This afternoon we were supposed to go to a third friend's for brunch, but our car broke down. We called a cab, which was supposed to arrive in 20 minutes, but after it hadn't arrived an hour later, we gave up.

Tonight we were supposed to go to rescheduled shisha with friend #2, but he discovered that all the other invitees had made separate plans together. Awkward.

... On the bright side, we got lots of housecleaning done? Is that a bright side?

It's kind of funny that this is the first weekend in three weeks that I haven't had to go in to work, and it was boooorrrrrring.
