kimba

first let me say thank you to all who commented on my last blog entry. it is so nice to feel supported : ) and i hope everyone has a happy friday and a great weekend.

i wanted to do a post on the first cat i ever had, the one responsible for making me be a HUGE cat lover. i recently commented on A Cup Of Jo's post on Lion prints and mentioned how i had a pet mountain lion. since then i have gotten a few questions about my kitty so here it goes.

when i was about six or seven i wanted a cat for christmas. my dad being who he is, does nothing normal, and when i woke up to a medium sized box on christmas morning i had no idea what i was about to see. what popped out of that box was the size of a medium to large size puppy. she was a beige/tan color with dark brown spots all over her body. she had huge paws and a cute little tail. her eyes were a deep, dark blue like the ocean. she was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen. (i promise to look for some pictures of when i first got her to share them with you all)

since then she has become part of the family! she lives outside in the backyard, in a large cage. she eats canned food made especially for that breed. she is very friendly and has never bitten anyone. and now i would like to introduce you to kimba...

so that's kimba! i know i'm not in any pictures with her but i do have a video of me feeding her that i will try to post once i figure it out. i know this isn't the normal kind of pet to have so if you have any questions just ask : )

  7. To answer your camera question ---

    If you're just starting out with film, I would suggest starting out with a 35mm camera -- the film and developing are cheaper and the film is much easier to get good pictures on (120 film is tricky and can be discouraging if you spend a lot of money buying film and getting it developed then you don't have any pictures turn out). 35mm is also more convenient -- you can take it to drugstores or walmart to develop. The Holga and the Diana both have 35mm versions and those are the most popular, but the lomography website has tons of fun toy cameras to choose. I have the Holga in both 120mm and 35mm and love them both, but next on my list is a Diana Mini! :) Hope that helps.
