April retroblogging

Another month, another frail effort at reducing the queue. I didn't do very well this month, but I did some. If you want to go back and look mostly at my light commentary on photos I took, go ahead:

• Stone-carving calligraphy
• The stereotypical Japanese alley
• Banal tourist photos
• Lengthwise koi pond
• The Atrocity Archive
• Light, visible

This post's theme word is fanfaron, "a boaster or braggart." Publicly failing to achieve pre-announced goals renders me less of a fanfaron, and can add a line to my CV of failures.
