Good and bad

[wednes]

The good?

We're finally getting our engagement pics taken today, just 8 months after we actually got engaged.

The bad?

I have mosquito bites on me. They itch and are very annoying.

Also:

A 9-year-old boy in Wakayama Prefecture has discovered a fossilized lamniformes shark tooth believed to be the oldest ever found in Japan, dating back as far as 135 million years, the Wakayama Prefectural Museum of Natural History said Wednesday.

The discovery was made by Yoshihisa Yamamoto, a fourth-grader at Kaseda Primary School in Katsuragicho. The shark belongs to the lamniformes family, which includes the great white shark.
According to the museum, the fossil is 3 million to 10 million years older than the previous record holder. One scientist said, "The discovery is an important glimpse into the origin and early habitat of the lamniformes."

Yamamoto unearthed the fossil during an excavation event held by the museum along the Hirogawacho coastline on March 4. Yamamoto found the fossil after using a hammer to break up about 50 rocks from the Cretaceous period (143 million B.C. to 65 million B.C.), the age of the dinosaurs.

The museum has since deduced from the shape of the tooth's roots that it was that of a lamniformes.

The fossil will be exhibited at the museum from June 1.

We never got engagement photos. I hate myself in photos anyway. Sorry to hear about your mosquito bites. I hope you aren't as much of a mosquito magnet as I am.

I do tend to draw mosquitos like a stack of pancakes. (I know, that makes no sense, my grandma used to say it) It's a drag, but now I'm a connoisseur of bug sprays. I just have to remember to actually use them. ;-/

I'm getting more tolerant of myself in photos. I want to make sure to have a good pic for the papers so my parents will be sure to see it. Plus that H is so cute!

Well at least you get engagement photos....I have been with the same guy for 16 years and I never got any.... He hates having pics taken. Oh well ~ I wanna see them once you get them! or else.... *grinz*

Oh I'll def be posting them...probably too much so. H doesn't like to get his pic taken either, so he was being a really good sport.

We did outdoor pics, and some shots of us around the house. It was all very cute.

I never knew H didn't like getting his picture taken. He's a damn good looking dude. He should get more pics taken. I love the one of you and Joey and him hanging in my hallway collage. It's from Joey's birthday at my old apartment.

I remember that pic. He's wearing his puffy green coat. I agree, that h is a good looking dude.

Can't wait to see the pics! And can you imagine being that 9 yr-old. How cool would that have been to find am ancient shark's tooth?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Pretty goddamn cool, I must say. Seeing something in a museum and knowing you're responsible for it being there. Wow!

The pics looked pretty good, I saw a few of them in the camera. I'll have them back in a week.

[groovesinorbit]

Excellent. : )

I've never heard of that, but it sounds fun. Will these photos be posted for all the other men to see what they are missing?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

LOL

I'll have the pics back next week and will post a nice selection of them. Though I'm not quite sure how many people think they're missing out on anything. It's just li'l old me, and H, after all.

;-]
