I brought photographs into my office. I impaled each one onto my waferboard walls with a pushpin. Eleven faces now look back at me when I look up. I look over and I'm there. I'm there with Julie on the steps of the UT Ballroom for the Spoon show. I'm there in the street with Ben. I'm at Club Deville with Jessica, Travis, and Amy. I'm there ( Read more... )

I thought of that phrase today. It gave me a little chuckle, and I thought you might appreciate it too. So there it is. Just four words. Dark and dry, in all it's glory ( Read more... )

Howdy folks. How're y'all doing tonight? I'm great, thanks.

Ben organized a little get together at Club Deville the other night. The theme was, "Taking Online Interactivity Offline". Basically, a whole bunch of people from The Austin Index got together to drink a few fancy liquer drinks and do what they do best: yap. We yapped and yapped. It ( Read more... )

i walked behind the truck
with wrists chained in steel
forearms to chrome bumper
i walked

and when i could walk no further
i fell
and when i could fall no further
i sang

i sang as the rough road removed
layers of clothes and skin
and the rest of the meaty parts
that clung to my distended frame

i sang for all i was worth

I got the job at Apple!!! Happy day. I went in for the interview Friday and nailed it. I gave very honest answers, even to the questions asking about when I handled a customer badly. Apparently they appreciate honesty and such at Apple. That is a good thing ( Read more... )

Tonight I met Janessa. She's a good one.

I have a job interview tomorrow, but I consumed so much caffeine that I can't sleep despite bodily fatigue. Rats.

I'd going to work on the Java project until I can zonk out.

Here's a silly blurry photo of me.

I spent a few hours in the darkroom the other night. Here are the results.

These are of my friend Michelle. They were taken at Zilker Botanical Gardens (the same place as Ben and Ani's wedding). She's got an Indian boyfriend. That's why she's dressed in traditional Indian garb. I like this one a lot. I think she looks very stoic and strong.

In the shower this morning I noticed that hair has started growing on my upper forearm. It curves along my bicep towards my underarm. The only thing that I can attribute it to is that I'm reverting to a more bestial form. I've started clipping my fingernails daily. Also, I've scheduled a Rabies vaccine for early next week ( Read more... )

You know how ya'd love to go back to the person that took your virginity and show em how GOOD ya've gotten? That's sortof how I feel. Except instead of a woman it's a darkroom ( Read more... )

Today my darkroom virginity was popped. And like so many things, "once you pop, you can't stop". The image formed before my eyes on the paper. It was real and alive under my glowing eyes. I'm such a drama queen, I'm likening developing a print to delivering a baby. Anyhow, after the image formed I hurriedly moved the print to the stop tray, ( Read more... )
