We may consider ourselves sucky but probably not lousy or crapy.

lousy and crappy are optional.

okay then...

im going to enter a pic for one of the two challenges soon.

it wont be lousy and it certainly wont be crap.

but it might suck.

i finished reflections at 110.

im probably going to finish headwear at way below that.

i'm shooting for a 3.5 at best.

Well, my spots entry is here:

Avg Vote: 5.5000

That's better than most recent entries have done on the first few votes.

I sort of feel like I've run off a ledge compared to how my shots scored over the summer. But I also recognize that I'm more interested in exploring different things than in taking the standard high-scoring shots.

I'm not sure I'd score highly even if I took them, though. ;)

i dont have a score for headwear yet but i do have a comment...

does that suck or what?

You do have a score, but to see it before the scores update at 10 past the hour, you have to fork over the $25 and hit the update button repeatedly....

11/15/2006 01:02:50 AM · #1010

im going to fork over the 25 soon.

but it's not important enough to me to be able to see my 3.5 right now.

Funny - a 2.5 average from commenters on my neon sign.

The "this is not artistic" comment amuses me.

quiet is right. Team Entropy needs SickDog. Even with him, they did not manage to get three people to participate. So, only 4 teams competing this week leaves the following results:

BLUE === The Hoovers 5.6255
RED ==== The OOFers 5.36063333333
YELLOW = Team Minus 5.13576666666
BROWN == Team Novice 4.7760666666

another good week for the plural teams. Deb scored our only 6 this week. :)

The Hoovers get to pick an OOBIE and a YAPPIE. I already have some OOBIE nominations ready!

Nice and even. My last two challenge entries were weird, low-scoring and so much fun! And now I've met two of my goals. I'm going to have fun in January coming up with more goals for 2007. Goal #2 is a real b!tc4, however. I doubt I'll ever achieve it.

I guess he is out travelling the world for that elusive "postcard" shot.
