Bleh...

I have a tummyache.
This is why I am typing in poopy green colors.

Douchebag

Yesterday I was discussing the term Douchebag wth some co-workers and we concluded that this was New England bit of slang since none of us have ever heard it used outside the New England area.

Has anyone else ever heard or used this colorful phrase outside the New England area and were not describing the actual item?

Pain

As most of you know I have been plagued for a very long time by back pain. Sometime it goes away for months only to rear it's ugly head at the worst time, sometimes it's a constant dull ache telling me that yes, it is still there and isn't going away. Sometimes the dull ache is there so long I forget what it feels like ot not be in pain. And then it stays around so long you think, well, if this is as bad as it gets, I can deal with this.

And then one fine day you are doing a rather simple and normal activity, such as shaving your legs, and SPROING! Something in your back shifts and the dull pain you had made friends with leaves you with a sharp, stabbing, take your breath away pain that leaves you in tears.

It's always something simple that does it in the end. Once it was opening the trunk of my car, another time it was turning in a swivel chair. Goddess forbid I actually turn my body in a chair that was designed to turn! Sunday I got halfway through shaving my second leg when stabby-stabby hit me. So now I am in alot of pain and my legs are only 75% shaved. Pretty, eh?

I can't take much more of this.

New Photos!

Here's the first round of Scotland Picture's for your viewing pleasure. This is Day 1 of 10 so stay tuned for more!

New Photo's!

Click the above image to see some new stuff I have done for school.

So there I was working like a busy bee all day long on Scotland photos so that I could finally show you all that yes, we did actually go there, when the program I use decided to poop out on me. Nothing was was lost (that I know of... famous last words) but everything is backed up just in case. I'm uber-careful these days. I am afraid it may have pooped out on me sort of bigtime since I can't get it going again. Ah well... maybe it's the universe telling me I have done enough work for one day.

In other news, the Boston Derby Dames are going to be projecting my images of previous bouts onto their scoreboard screen during the breaks between periods tomorrow night! Hooray for free publicity! I wish I was going tomorrow but I have a previous engagement... but YOU can go and tell me about it! More info HERE.

So where shall I be instead of at roller derby? Why, I'll be at the Sam Black Church Reunion Show of course! I fully expect to have stories to tell after this one... this is history in the making my friends! Their first live show in 7 years! I intend on enjoying the show from the bar though because as screwed up as my teeth are I like like them right where they are, in my mouth, thank you very much. I'll be bringing the old baby camera and at the rate I'm going whatever pic's I manage to sneak will probably be online around Valentine's Day.

So that's the news from here... How the hell is everyone else doing? Leave a comment and tell the world!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary Carrie & Tom!

Temporary Facelift

Alrighty folks... though I should know better than to start tinkering with computer shit, especially blogger code, a half an hour before I have to leave for work and I haven't showered yet, I have at least made this blog readable again. It ain't pretty and it's very rough, but I have all day tomorrow to ponder the situation as well as my navel. I saved the old code in case I want to just get lazy about it and revert back to it.

Maybe I'll even learn something new in the process.

Avast ye Scurvy Knaves!

Blast it me hearties!
I nearly forgot!
'Tis Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Arrrrr!

Big Bad Bitch Babble

First of all, here's a quick belated Happy Birthday to my brother Bill. Happy Birthday Bro!

Second, I know my posts have been more sporadic than usual these days... I've been busy, but I promise to pop in more in the future... NaBloPoMo is coming soon afterall! Sooner than you think my friends... you have been warned.

Thirdly, I don't kmow what the fuck is up with blogger right now... it seems to be just my site as I haven't seen this happening to anyone elses site and this does happen every once in a while, but never for this long. Hmmm.... I wonder if it has something to do with blogger interacting with my domain name, some hiccup in the ftp thingamajig or some such nonsense. *sigh* I don't have the brain capacity to ponder deeper than that right now and I hope this rights itself in a day or so. I am planning on changing things up here a bit... someday... in my free time. Yeah... after I win the lottery.

Fourthly, (fourthly?) I am furiously working on pic's for school and personal projects outside of my psychotic self portrait project have taken a backseat. I don't DARE get behind on that project because it's hard enough to keep up with without playing catch-up. I will do my darndest to get some new shit up soon... I know y'all are DYING to see my Scotland photos, and frankly, so am I.

Weeeeeeee're Baaaaaack!

Ron and I are back from the wild north woods of Maine. It was damn cold up there... to cold to shower much or properly and since I smell like a petting zoo I will keep this brief.
Bye now!

You are in an open field west of a big white house...

You can play an online version of the game Zork HERE. And if you know what I am talking about then you are a big freakin' geek. Welcome home my geek sisters and brothers, welcome home.

DUH.

OHMYGOD! How could I have forgotten to mention this?
I have a group show of photos up at the Framingham Public Library right now. It'll be up until the end of September. The group includes me and some of my classmates at school. Go see it!

Dreams

I had another weird dream the night before last and I can't get it out of my head. This one is unusual because the only details I remember are a person and a telephone number I saw written on a piece of paper and that the person in the dream needed help of some kind.

The person is the sister of someone I grew up with whose initials are L.L. and the phone number I saw was 415-404-6059.

I Googled the phone number and nothing came up. This is weird because I often remember my dreams with startling detail. I can't get this particular sequence of numbers out of my head and I am pretty sure it's a telephone number.

Alright all you amatuer dream interpreters... what do you think?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Carrie!

Yes, and in a good way!

Today I smell of the sea.
Spent the day at George's Island taking pictures.
I am so tired.

Clown vs. Klan

Full story HERE.
To funny!

Happy Birthday Carol!

Hope it was a good one! (You still should have bought this hat.)

Plug it in, Plug it in....

It's funny how having to plug in one new computer related appliance will cause you to clean your entire desk... especially when the only available outlet is on the far end of that desk. I now have 3 heaping pile of umcompleted crap on my floor, and another on the worktable next to me... but my desk is CLEAN!
