Truth is Indeed Stranger Than Fiction
Well, I know it's been forever...I'm actually in a different location now, with a new blog. But all that aside:
BlackJennyFlint, the supremely unathletic, uncoordiated, gym-class hating exercise-phobe is now a professional sports announcer.
Bonus: I was forced to wear a red jacket and hideous green pants. I'll post a picture for a treat for those of ( Read more... ) -
Still Flickring
I have over 8000 images and still going strong on my Flickr upload. I think I'm going to start sneaking in some Flickr time at work while my boss is away ( Read more... ) -
Flickr and Digital Thievery
I started a Flickr accounte. Since the "e" mercilessly got chopped out of Flickr, I thought I'd console him by adding it to another word ( Read more... ) -
I Broke A Mirror With My Face
..but not because I didn't put on my makeup, I hit the rearview mirror on my motorcycle with my face while going A over TK over the handlebars. It was a pretty epic fail while crossing a raised beam made of man-hole cover material.

It was held in Fukushima, miles from anything- I mean, the 7-11 was a 40 minute drive. No transportation either, just a once-a-day shuttle bus ( Read more... ) -

I should take the 7:09 subway to downtown to get to work on time, but I've been late the last few days and taking the 7:21 since my boss has been out of the office. I always ride in the front car behind the conductor, just in case attack zombies/perverted businessmen/Godzilla show(s) up ( Read more... ) -
Gray Sunday
Well, I got a hyacinth to sort of cheer up my apartment, and it bloomed today. It's that deep blue, almost purple color. Unfortunately, it has NO scent. Did the Japanese engineer scentless hyacinth? I love the smell, which is why I got it. No perfume even comes close ( Read more... ) -
