Thats so cozy! i love the warm colors and differences in elevation.

How did you like the IS300? I took a brief test drive in an automatic when they first came out (iirc 2000?) and thought it was pretty fun, this coming from a BMW fanboy

I loved it. The biggest reason I sold it was because I'm 6'1" and commuting in the IS300 to work wasn't the most comfortable ride. Also, the gas mileage (I got about 18mpg) wasn't the most friendly. =T But aside from that, I love how it handles and how refined the engine is.

And a few pics of the condo, which I should be closing on in a few weeks.

I really like.

I love the accent wall!

Actually, the whole "den" is red, so I don't think it qualifies

When I get the WA lens for the D80 I'll bring the tripod over to Ian's and see if we can give you a better look.

Shoot low to avoid the massive distortion from UWA lenses. =T I learned first hand when I borrowed a friend's EF-S 10-22mm UWA.

Kitty statue!!! :kitty:

The condo looks real nice place, Ian.

So do you have multiple cats or is that a same cat in multiple pictures?

Thanks everyone... It was a long weekend wrapping up loose ends for the appraisal, but I'm sure it's going to be worth it.

Mulitple cats...

Zoe, the black and white one, was given to me by a friend after my previous cat died. She was the runt of a litter and had been abandoned by her mother. I got her when she was 2 weeks old and was around 14 oz. She's 5 years old and is a royal pain with serious attitude issues

Koshka, the almost all black one, is the one I got a little over a gear go. She's 8 years old was taken from her home by the SPCA... She had been hit by a car and was never brought to the vets, so she lost one eye and a few teeth. She was also pregnant at the time, and had fleas, mites and worms. She's the most affectionate cat I've ever seen, and follows me around like a little dog. The only problem with her is she's part siamese, and very vocal with damaged vocal chords from the accident, so it sounds like someone's strangling a small child when she meows.

Ian loving the domo-kun

I have to admit, I only got it to take pictures of it stalking Zoe...

My favorite is the poster version of the one above as the rebuttal to the famous picture.
