Because it's all about me!

Friend and fellow photographer Velma (not her real name, but good enough for me) has entered a photo of me (yes, little old me) in the Jones Soda Bottle Label Contest. I had no idea they were having a contest and I should probably get off my ass and enter it. Until I do though go vote for one of her two entries!

- Me
- Amber

EPIC FAIL

I don't know what it is, but I don't really like David Letterman. Maybe it's the beady eyes, maybe it's that he reminds me too much of my 8th grade math teacher for comfort, or maybe I just don't find him consistantly funny. Am I alone here?

Frankly I think it's time for good old Dave to give it up and retire however I did find this little bit amusing. Granted, McCain pretty much threw comedy gold in his lap by cancelling.

Lately I have been reading and listening to a lot of rather good books. I seem to be on a good run lately so I thought I would share a gem with you this evening.

I just listened to The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love and it was one of the funniest damn things I've read in a long time. I recommend listening to it over reading it because the authors lovely southern accent just gives the stories a bit more impact. I had to pull my car over a few time I was laughing so hard.

These lovely ladies are part of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Jackson, Mississippi and now I have two reasons to get my ass down there! Sharon, if you are reading this you need to read this book! We need to go to this parade and then get tattoos or do something crazy. And I need to eat a deep fried pickle.

For more info on The Sweet Potato Queens visit www.sweetpotatoqueens.com.

Happy First Day of Fall!

You Are 60% Interesting



You are a fairly interesting person. Many people find you to be intriguing.

You have a dynamic, adventurous life... a life that others envy.



You are genuinely interested in and open to the world.

You love making new friends, and you're always up for an unusual experience.



Like everyone else, you can get a bit boring from time to time. That's normal.

But unlike everyone else, you can pull yourself out of a rut. You don't stay boring for long.

Excitement Abounds!

If you're a white male, age 30 to 35, who weighs between 200 and 225 pounds, and is 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall the Norwood Police and the FBI would like to speak to you.

In other news, We had a little excitement at my work today as well... nice little incident involving the furnace and the fire department. We had to evacuate the building and everything. People are funny in these situations. We had folks refusing to leave, another who wanted her books checked out first and others who just had to finish reading their email first. Don't worry, we got everyone sorry asses out... dumbasses, all of them. I took some cell phone pics of the firetrucks and they can be viewed HERE.

Batman Remake

I know, I know... I've been posting alot of fluff lately, but this one is too damn cute.

Call to Action!

You Are Stalking



You tend to be very obsessive. Once you focus your attention on something or someone, it's all you think about.

You are also very secretive. People don't know much about the life that you lead.

You are attracted to weak people. You may want to prey on them, but you also may just want to help them.

You need attention, and you can get desperate if you aren't getting attention from the right person. You'll do about anything to get noticed.



Well, that's no fun... I was hoping for something a little more colorful like Assault or something.

You Are China



You adhere to the ideas of loyalty, honesty, sincerity, and duty.

You respect authority and age. You believe in social harmony.



You are big and bold. People consider you to be someone with a lot of potential.

You are coming into your own right now, and you are figuring out your place in the world.

Meet Lemmy!

If this works it'll be pretyy flippin' sweet! I'm messin' around with Flickr's Slideshow doo-hickey.



Observations From The Last Few Days

-Sarah Palin scares the living, holy, fucking, super-size-it, shit out of me.
Somebody hold me. There's a serious rant in this one, but I'll let it percolate a little longer while I shake in the corner and suck my thumb.

- Two Words: Ghostbusters Three
WHY? Why god, why? I feel as though someone just ripped a vital organ from my chest and threw it on the ground... or tweaked my nipples till they spontaneously combusted. Listen up Hollywood - STOP FUCKING WITH THE GOOD STUFF. Ghostbusters 2 SUCKED BALLS. You know it, I know it. Your mom's dog knows it. Now go right some new stuff or pay some writers to write some new stuff and leave the old stuff alone. It is perfect and sacred.

- John Stewart is THE FUCKING MAN!
Don't believe me? See HERE. I'm just sayin'...

- I now know where the gayest place in Worcester is.
It is HERE. A people watching feast! It ain't a party until a tranny-hooker stands too close to you for too long. Okay, okay... I don't know if she was a hooker or not... just a hunch. And then there was the gentleman in the ladies room...

- David Duchovny is in rehab for sex addiction?
Really? Who cares? Is he even relevent? What's he done lately? Get it? DONE. Nudge-nudge... Creepy photo linky goodness HERE.

Annie Lebovitz - Tax Cheat?

More info HERE.

Okay, granted, part of me thinks she lives in Manhattan and the cost of living there is HUGE, as well as her high-flying photographer lifestyle but another teeny-weensy evil part of me gets a chuckle out of this. I know, I'm a bad person and I'm okay with that.
