What Is It?
Yes, just here to educate y’all, and have some fun in the process…
I’m having fun playing with my camera again. And this is a really cool thing. The whole picture is at the bottom of the post.
In other news, I applied to another School-Wasn’t-a-Waste job today. The money would be much better than the one I applied to yesterday (which I got a call about today, to ascertain that I’m “qualified” for an interview - so far, so good), but, like the other one, it’s a temporary position. I don’t know how long the placement would last, but I want this job.
I also applied for another “I-Don’t-Really-Wanna-Do-This-But-I-Need-the-Money” position. We won’t talk about that one…
Studying for my exams…? Uh, yeah. I gotta get on that.
Writing…? I have been, yes. More news about finished projects and newly begun projects should soon be posted.
Web-Development, now… That “almost” freelance job (which I still haven’t got the all-clear on, unfortunately, but, I want that job, too!) has jump-started my interest in design and development again, and I’ve been playing with some ideas for my own sites.
With all this stuff going on, I’m not sure I have time to work a job…
Here’s that pic. Nice, eh?
It’s a Geode.
And I think mine is prettier than any of the ones at Wikipedia.

Geode! I guessed it. When Kelly was little, we used to be able to buy them whole, and she’d smack them with a hammer until the broke into beeeeyooooootiful pieces. I think your new job should be geode photographer.
Les Says: Me too. I should write to “Geode Magazine”. I’ll bet there is one, too.

Oh, I thought it was a malted milk in the blender.
Les Says: Oooh! That would have been good, too! Now I need a blender…

I would have said it was a VERY OLD piece of quiche from the back of the ‘fridge.
Les Says: Hey, that could be possible. If I could cook. There’s still soup in there I’m afraid to take the lid off of.

Looked like something someone had thrown up!
Les Says:
Ewwwww! I hadn’t thought that, myself. Thanks, Mushy.

Bless you, Les, for your brilliance
I thought it was either milk froth in a blender - or a crumpled sponge. Love your work. Love your style. Love your finesse.
Les Says:
Wow, thanks! You should say that more.

I guessed a rock…but didn’t know what to call it. Cool picture though.
Les Says: Thanks, Gene! I was pleased with this one (they don’t always turn out this well, lemme tell ya!). Thanks for coming by. I will check out your site, as well.

Rather nice quartz geode
Les Says: I thought so, too. I think it might be a “painted up” version, though - apparently, the prettiest ones have been dyed somehow to bring out the odd colouring.

Hi Les, it is probably the real thing. My resident geologist says the outsde edge looks like chalcedony. Something for you to research?
Les Says: I’m more interested in knowing why you have a resident geologist and I do not. I don’t think that’s very fair.

It’s simple Les, I’m married to her. She’s a very talented ladey - http://arty-fartying-around.blogspot.com/
Les Says: I still think I should have a geologist of my own…

Les Says: Yeah. Weird, eh?
