Zen Garden OV DHOOOOOOMM!!!!!

Its happened!

I have the Zen Garden that I've always wanted. My back yard is blank canvas of white stones. The only ornament, a six and a half foot tall wrought iron black cross that is situated on the left.
Yeah.
YEAH!!!

Anyone that wants to do a crazy or sensible photoshoot can come on over to my backyard and have the best piece of contrast ( Read more... )

My parents used to have a strip of stones in front of their house. Of course it was a drvieway, but... :D Actually sounds very cool!
On Moussad - If it is them, I'm surprised -- they're usually better at secrecy which suggests someone is leaking secrets. But I'm not shedding any tears for a mass murderer like Al-Mabby.

that wouldn't be my cross would it? I wondered what happened to it.

Yeah Serret! I'm as happy with it now as the day you gave it to me. A short list of where its been over the past six years would be: Lugging it through the living rooms of two apartments, one house, one warehouse, and one artist's studio.
Its also been a center piece of a garden display (I guess it is again, but the first time my roommate had vines growing over it and was hanging plants from the edges this whole life from death thing, I hated it.)
Its made a few appearances onstage at a few Black Metal shows and appeared in numerous photographs by at least two if not more semi-professional shooters.
Indeed, I think when this nugget of iron read "Oh the places you'll go" it sighed of disappointment as it contemplated its furniture as a wall fixture. And instead its lived a life as amazing as one can get for an inanimate object.
Or so people suspect!

lol well I'm glad it's having a good time! If you ever don't have room for it let me know and I'll take it back, I finally have space for it in the new house.

About the assassination, I saw an interview with the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Amanpour while I was in transit back to Drum. Standard evasive answers on neither confirming or denying involvement. I then found this article (http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/02/25/schneier.security.cameras/index.html) that discusses how surveillance doesn't equate with security. It echoes a conversation I had with Eric while I was there about how losing in Afghanistan with have dramatic 'security' repercussions here given how ISR (intel, surveillance and recon) assets have evolved because of the nature of the conflict. I'm not down with living in a virtual panopticon.
