Fun with presents

Last Friday at around midnight I noticed that my aquarium was leaking, I guess it was a good thing we cut our mini vacation short after all or there would have been a huge mess when we got home Sunday, so I took the whole shebang down and I put the tank and all the accessories in the attic of our condo, and yes the fish are dead now but I made sure that they died a humane death. My gf bought me that aquarium years ago for my birthday and it was one of the best B-Day presents I ever got, but we can't have a leaky aquarium now can we?

After I took down all the aquarium related stuff including the stand, I rearranged things a bit in the room where we kept the aquarium. I put my gf's metal filing cabinet next to our CD rack and I stuck my globe on top of the cabinet. She gave me the globe a few years back for Christmas and it has a cool light inside it which I had not been able to use lately. However now that the globe is in a place where I could easily plug it in, I'm enjoying it more than ever.

Last night, after dark, I took a picture of the globe with no flash. I was trying to capture how neat it looks when it's the only light in the room.


Then I took another shot of it using the flash:

I like the first one better.
