Whats new?

- I got new contacts... my prescription changed quite a bit in only one eye. Headaches and burry vision ensue. Will get that resolved shortly.

- I have lost enough weight that I went down another pant size. Don't hate me.

- Ron has mastered the fine art of making pizza dough. Weight regain imminent.

- Took some photos and posted them.

- Last night I dreamt I started a mushroom farm with my sister. I hate mushrooms. The verdict is still out on my sister.

I got nuthin'.

Haven't had a whole lot to say these days and I am still busy... busy, busy, busy! But Ill be seeing most of y'all in a few hours and the rest of you in the coming weeks...

That is all.

Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

Greetings!

Not much to say these days... I've been incredibly busy and when I am on a computer I am editing photos... which as y'all know I am woefully behind on. Personal stuff has taken a back seat to school assignments and paying gigs... yes, PAYING GIGS! I got a check in the mail from the Roller Derby folk because Pussy Venom forgot to bring it the night of the "prom". How many people can honestly say a woman named Pussy Venom forgot to pay them?

I love derby folk.

New photos!
A wedding that was 35+ years in the making!

She writes, she scores!

Dawn wrote and article and it got posted HERE!
Way to go! We miss you over on your blog by the way.

I make terrible puns, even in my sleep!

So I had another dream worth mentioning last night, if only for the terrible pun it involved.

I dreamt that Ewan (pronounced you-wen, say it aloud) McGregor and Charley Boorman were racing motorcycles (dirtbikes perhaps?) in a hotel corridor. They did lap after lap and Ewan McGregor won to which I exclaimed while waving a checkered flag, You Won! You Won! Only I pronounced it you-wen. See, I told you it was bad.

In other news, I have been seeing photos of Eddie Murphy in alot of magazines lately due to his paternity issues with a former Spice Girl. Every time I hear mention of his name or see his face the song "Party All the Time" pops into my head and won't let go. AAAAaagaggagahhhhh!!!!!!

Jerry Falwell is Dead!

And once again, one should only say good things about the dead.

He's dead. GOOD.

Silliness...

THIS is for Sharon.

ZZZzzz...

Well the prom was a hoot! Here we are 3 days later and I am still tired and sore. I really just want to crawl back into bed and scratch today off my calendar. I don't want to go to work, I don't want to go to school. Waaah!

Enough of my whining, how's everyone else this fine day?

Dreams

Considering I didn't get to bed until alomst 4am this morning I seem to have had plenty of time for some very odd dreams.

The best one was a good long one where I had discovered how to time travel. I also discovered Harvey Keitel was trying to kill my husband. So in the dream I would go back in time and follow Ron around trying to keep Harvey Keitel from killing him. I also met up with the owner of a new age crystal shop I used to frequent as a child and she figured out right away that I was from another time and offered to let me crash on her futon if I ever needed a place to stay while time traveling.

At one point I pevented Mr. Keitel from hitting Ron over the head with a big-ass garden gnome and at another point I barely rescued hom from being run over by Harvey Keitel driving a Brady Bunch style station wagon. Why Harvey Keitel? Who the fuck knows. My brain works in weird ways.

Now that I am typing this I suppose I could have traveled back in time and simply warned Ron that Harvey Keitel was trying to kill him, or better yet, go back and call the police. I guess even in my sleep I aim for the better storyline.

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all you Mom's out there! May you all have champagne and foot rubs today!

They dance as well as they skate!

To quote someone, I don't remember who, I feel like I have been beaten from head to toe by a gym sock full of matchbox cars. Boy, can those derby girls party!

Roller derby + Prom = ?

I continue to catch up on photos... the latest links are in a post below... somewhere down there.

Tonight I am photographing The Boston Derby Dames end of season dinner and awards ceremony. The theme for tonights event is "Prom". This should be fun, and they're PAYING ME! Woot!

Prom... not an event I thought I would ever have to attend again in any form, though I suppose every wedding is a prom of sorts. I was going to get all dolled up for this one but I have decided to keep it simple and have chosen mobility over style. I will get out the rhinestone cuff bracelets for this one though.

Stay tuned kids...

A silly tale

I went to Walgreens yesterday to pick up a few things. I get to the register and the gentleman at the counter says "How are you today?" Being a sarcastic bitch I simply frown and gaze down at my purchases, maxi-pads and nicorette patches for Ron, and register boy says "oh." Then I smile and say "Actually, I'm having a great day, I'm just messing with ya." and we both laugh.
The End.


The maxi-pads weren't for Ron by the way.

A Close Shave

Ladies, when shaving your legs in the shower and you have successfully executed one perfectly shaved leg and suddenly the water goes cold do we get out and wait for the hot water to return to complete a perfectly matched pair of perfectly shaved legs?

No, we don't.

We speed shave the second leg while frantically trying to get the remaining conditioner out of our hair while it runs in our eyes, blindly groping for the scraggly second leg feeling for the patches of hair we missed and slicing open our leg at the achilles tendon rather nastily. And we don't realize we have cut ourselves until we are out of the shower and have trailed blood all over the house.

Ah, the things we do for beauty.

Dreams

I have weird, weird dreams.

The other night I dreamt that I got a full face tattoo. It was hearts, one in side the other over and over like ripples in a pond after throwing a rock into the water and it was in alternating shades of brown and orange. In the dream I was so happy to be getting this tattoo but then when I looked into the mirror when it was done I saw myself and said "oh." and then said "Well, that was a bad idea." and I woke up.

This morning I dreamt I had to teach a bellydance class to a bunch of my co-workers but they wouldn't stop eating and talking long enough to teach them anything. It was extremely frustrating. I can draw many parallels to reality on this one, but they are best discussed in a more private forum, preferably over a drink. Who's buying?

What's Left of Greensburg, Kansas

Aerial photos of Greensburg, Kansas.

Now, I have ot tell you I am terrified of tornadoes. I used to have nightmares about them as a kid. The above link pretty much sums up why. I wonder why all those people live in slab houses though? Where is the basement they are supposed to retreat to in such an emergency? Where do you hide?

DERBY TONIGHT!!!!

Be there, bitches!
more info HERE!

God Morning Soldiers!

Well, I am feeling much better today... ready to take on the world and get shit done! I shall not tarry long here for I have photos to sort, laundry to do, errands to run and feral merkins to conquer!

By The Power of Greyskull! I will beat this mood into submission!!!

Boy, have I had a bug up my butt this week or what?
I am still tired and cranky, but getting better. I'm plowing through the backlog of photos and hope to have at least the last roller derby bout I attended up before this next bout on Saturday. My PC is slowly dying so I am working on my Mac. I think I will have to put my wacom tablet on the Mac after dinner... it's extremely difficult to retouch photos using the touchpad on a laptop.

Whiny Little Bitch.

It's a full moon tonight!
And it's the first of May! Happy Beltaine everyone! Hey, hey, hey it's the first of May... Outdoor Fucking starts today!

And I am awake. A-W-A-K-E. Feh.

I am feeling wicked bitchy in a hormonal way, Ron hasn't had a cigarette in exactly one month and my computer is slowly eating itself. I am backed up with work and projects, and I had to spend $1800 on my fucking car... $1000 down, $800 to go. Hell, who needs brakes anyway?

I'm not lovin' the module we are doing in school, I hate my job, blah, blah, blah...
I seem to have opened a big can of pissy-ass mood this evening... er morning. Fuck, I gotta get to sleep. And there's no Jagermeister in the freezer.

Well, I gotta look on the bright side.
I actually have a car, and it's paid for. Ron can fix my computer... he's real good like that. Hormones will pass. I don' have a broken leg. This module will be over in two weeks and we'll be on to something different. Ron is surprisingly healthy despite having smoked more than half of his life and not having a gallbladder. I've lost weight. I have a job that pays pretty well and gives me health insurance. I have several photo related opportunities in the near future that should prove interesting and profitable. I have lot's of good friends. I can't remember the last time I used my inhaler. What the fuck am I whining about?

Enough of this shit. Snap out of it! What the hell crawled up my ass today? Somebody fuckin' smack me, will ya.


Other news:
Roller Derby this weekend! Saturday May 5th, Shriners Auditorium, Wilmington, Mass., doors open at 5pm. Come find us there!

Yesterday wedding reception was nice, but rather surreal, but I'll write about that another time... or maybe not. I think my family actually reads this shit.
