A tiger calendar, never opened from 2001. Why did I buy a tiger calendar years ago when I wasn't planning on doing tigers? No idea. But I've learned over the years that if I have a real desire to buy something research like that makes no sense to me, to just buy it. Because, one; it won't be there later when you need it.

Packrat much?

Two, because I usually need that book, or picture at the oddest times, but when the need hits it's the difference between looking something up and making my page count for the day, or having to run out to the book store, library, etc . . . Running out for a quick research trip is never quick. The page count is usually screwed for the day.


The thing you're writing your blog in is called "the Internet"
And while we know that the internet is good for porn is not always the best place to do research, you still can get many many shiny color pictures of tigers there, without having to leave the house - something you don't like doing anyway.

Yeah, I was wondering about that.

And as an aside, the Internet is a far better place than many as a source of research of late. I've found more and better on here than at the local library in much less time on a wide variety of subjects. Goodies get added all the time, too. It's not just wikipedia anymore. Technophobia over a one or two word google is just sad.
