Fresh Breath of Leaves

I feel a newness in the trees, in the earth, even in the sky itself
My nose is tickled with the cinnamon scent that goes spelunking in the neighborhood
Some things are simply meant to be taken in
Others are meant to be given
The autumn is giving me a greeting card
And the question is whether I will treasure it or not

And It Continues



Excuse my lack of words and blame it on NaNo.

A Chronology, If You Will

Dear friends, today I woke up and realized that I have not taken a single picture for weeks. So I decided to make up for it today. I now present to you, the stereo-typical Monday of a Kismint Plink-a-Dink.

**NOTE** These pictures are completely unedited and were shot on auto mode. Thus, they are exceedingly awful at worst and not my finest work at best. Enjoy as my day unfolds before you.


I started today's photo log at breakfast. Naturally, my fine cooking skills produced a feast of quite scrumptious quality


Fed this fellow.


Can't you just see the gratitude?


It's been my experience that panic takes place at about this time on Monday mornings...something about it being eight minutes to departure time.


Wore my Shell Shocked jersey with my pirate boots today. I hope you are proud.


Road trip.


This is what is looks like after I've just defeated the evil evil evil evil evil stairs that mark the way to digi art.


Yes. I know it's a shock. Homeschoolers have to take notes from the board too.


I hope I don't get sued for taking pictures of the innocent.


Note to self: lunch could suspiciously be likened to breakfast.


You know you're under your word count if you're working on NaNo at lunchtime. 


Friends who are awesome and do goofy things with me during lunch hour as I wield a camera. Thank guys, I had a lot of fun today---and seriously, you are brilliant when it comes to photo ideas.


Lit. class: the place of the kiwi walls.


Tramping my way to science. 


  Tramping my way from science.


GOODBYE FRODO!!!! *sniff* 


Yay for home and screechy garage doors.


Today marks a cornerstone for me. It was the first time I single handedly popped my own little bag of greasy microwave popcorn all by my own little self. 
Plus, I tried to make a video documentary of me doing it, but that fizzled and my camera decided not to keep its end of the bargain up.


Guess what this spells!...


...A Merlin marathon COMPLETE WITH POPCORN AND SODA!! 
(Surprise! I've become an overnight fan.)


After I finished season one of BBC's finest, I went over to the young writer's program NaNo website and decided to try to strangle my word count (currently 1,240 behind schedule).


NaNo playlist. 
The lack of variety in artists bothers me not.


After sitting too long with my eyes glazed over trying to conjure up those missing 1,240 words my mum kicked me off the typewrit---err, computer. What else to do but re-read this classic in the November nighttime?


Until of course, the dude came and told me that I needed to shower him with love and attention (and food). 
This picture was weird because I couldn't see a thing when I took it. Flashes are annoying, but fun when I don't care about the quality. 


I usually spend my nights pacing around in the dark. It's just what I do---and how I think.


Sad but true: this is what I think of as a typical Monday night dinner. Cooking just isn't what you'd call a love.

And from there I sat down and blogged about my day. 
Which, ironically, doesn't have a picture to go with it, because the picture is...right here. 

I hope you had a good Monday. And I very much hope the rest of your week will be fine and jolly with lots of chocolate and pretty sunsets (because sunrises are too early in the morning and you deserve to sleep in). 

These are just some of the pictures I took today, so expect to see some more soon at my photography blog! Tell me what you think of my Monday photo log...maybe I'll do another day of the week. 

But until then,
God bless and be inspired,
K-Minty

Yesterday's Headdesk



This minus the fact that I love Revenge of the Sith.

Big Whoopee

NaNo! I'm excited now. I have a cover for the book, and I haven't even written the first word.
FEAST YOUR EYES READERS, FEAST YOUR EYES!!


Coming together this November.

Any guesses on what the plot is? Please feel free to give out inklings & ideas in the comment section. I don't have an outline written out, but I have one in my head. I guess we'll just see where we go when we get there.
Also, I was wondering: Which do you prefer to read: first person or third person? First person is more fun to write, but third person gives me more wiggle room. This is quite a conundrum.

...Oh, by the way, have any of you ever hiked Humphreys Peak (located in Arizona)? If you have, I need your brain. And if you by chance happen to farm pinto beans, I need to have a few words with you.

Last night I made this awesome guy.


I pulled out a bent needle, some cheap thread, and a reeeally old pair of cut up blue jeans that I forgot to throw away years ago and just hand sewed it up around my arm. The best part? It actually zips around my wrist because I was able to keep the zipper and thread it into the rest of the material. Tonight I'm working on the left one. This one is different though, because instead of a zipper, it uses a sting of leather and laces up.

'nywaze, that's what's up.

Back at ya later,
K-Minty
