ikel89 will be pleased, perhaps, that I took some photos that the camera I have access to can actually handle.  No low-light/night shenanigans here, just a lotta zooming in -- a bit not-quite macro-style.  Part of this is on Facebook, but I posted a more complete set here ( Read more... )

Alright, need an ego boost.  I am 5'10"...it kinda sucks sometimes?  Sometimes I think life woud be a little easier in certain arenas (actually quite a few that are fairly important) if I were a bit shorter or at least closer to the average female height where I live?  (Don't get me wrong, there are many advantages to being tall, no question.)  I ( Read more... )

Just some reminders of things...for me, mainly, but perhaps someone else might benefit out there. *waves to Moe if she stops by*

I have these on some laminated cards (might take a picture of it later since it's not just a stack of cards), but I think typing them would be helpful for me.

Hopefully I can try this caffeine-weaning off thing again now. We'll see how that goes. What's the saying...if first you don't succeed, try, try again? Hope you all are doing well...it is spring, get some light in your eyeballs.

( Yay, some fun )

I almost gave up some music AGAIN D-:  due to some stuff I'm trying to work through/deal with since it's not going away easily, but nope, won't be doing that!  Irish jigs are actually excellent for getting stuff done.  I couldn't exercise to this, though - would probably fall over eventually, lol.  Sea shanties, marches...I guess I'm coming up with ( Read more... )

...don't mind me. (And the cover is *totally* hilarious, considering. I am not completely up on The Velvet Underground other than random songs.)

But ooh, this and the last flocked post reminds me of something else I used to listen to (below, Rasputina...paging moderntrickster, are you still around here? :-/ I hope you are ok. <3) - I am having to DIG for band ( Read more... )

I am currently going through caffeine withdrawal, omg.  (Just to let y'all know.)  I drank some iced tea for my caffeine yesterday...and CRASH.  Think I need to adjust weaning off a bit better.  Baby steps. Less cold turkey, more gradual adjustment.  I do feel better than I have in a very long time, though!  Huzzah.

...is that I have started listening to Nickel Creek again?  I had been so out of touch with the music scene that I didn't realize that they had gotten back together as a group!  :-O  MOAR ALBUMS I HAVEN'T HEARD?  Exciting ( Read more... )

I plan to do hamsterwoman's Reading Bingo Challenge in some form, since it dovetails with some things I wanted to add to my reading this year.  Just passing it along for those of you on my flist that aren't on hers (but I think we have a bit of flist overlap).  If you have any book recs for the categories below, they would be welcome!  (You can either leave ( Read more... )

Well, let's see how I do with tracking my reading for this year. This is a scheduled post that I started in June...whoo knows what my reading future holds and/or if I will bother to keep up with this.  My thoughts on these books (if I had any), are linked in the month headings.  (ETA:  I didn't do a bad job of tracking my reading this year.  I ( Read more... )
