Day 1088 of 365 Again. So 351 days ago, I cracked myself in the head with a tennis racket and busted open my nose . Went to the hospital where they superglued it shut and told me that with any luck there’d be no scar. Of course there was, but it did fade a bit…
Day 1017 of 365 Again. It’s been really nice out lately. Yesterday I went swimming (might do it again in a little bit) and today Steph and I went to her nephew’s hockey game. On the way out I noticed how well our roses had been blooming so I stopped to smell them. And while…
Day 920 of 365 Again. I’ve really slacked off this winter. I’ve barely exercised at all, and I have a growing gut to prove it. This isn’t exactly a new thing, I do it in the winter a lot, but never this bad. I’ve just got so much going on lately that I’m not left…
Day 892 of 365 Again. You know, usually when something monumental happens I tend to write some kind of commentary or rant on it. I try to make poignant important points while peppering things with my own snide assholish humor. But sometimes, even I don’t have the heart. Today is Martin Luther King day. Basically…
Day 876 of 365 Again. I figured today I would do something creative with my self-portrait, but that didn’t really happen. Instead I decided to explore another technique of texturing an image, kind of like I did yesterday. Exciting, huh. Maybe not, but like I said, it’s a vacation. You know, looking at my eyes,…
Day 840 of 365 Again. Black Friday! It’s funny. Black Friday isn’t nearly as scary as it used to be. Steph refused to go out shopping with me, because she believes the hype that you hear on the news. People being trampled to death or shooting each other at a toy store. But really, these…
Day 814 of 365 Again. It’s my anniversary. Ten years ago today, Steph and I started dating. She actually asked me out on Halloween though she swears up and down that she had no actual interest in me and was just using me for my DVD collection. Women are evil like that. Anyway, ten years…
Day 741 of 365 Again. So the cut on my nose is healing. I’m trying to be hopeful hat it won’t leave a scar, but we’ll see. Beyond that, I got some new pics of Holly posted today from the motorcycle shoot, so check it out. Finally, over at Cosmic Helllcats we have a new…
Day 676 of 365 More.
Well, my 50mm lens is still broken, but Amazon assures me that a new one has shipped.
I was stuck for an idea today and I kinda started wondering how well the broken lens would work. It has no ability to focus whatsoever, so it was kind of a challenge to move back and forth until I found a spot where I was totally in focus, but I think I nailed it pretty good.
Except for a slight crop (very slight, just got ride of a hair of blackspace on the side) this is right out of the camera. That’s something you don’t see from me very often.
Day 657 of 365 More.
So, like I said, I got fan art from Helder. It’s posted on the Cosmic Hellcats website so check it out.
Went to my weekly poker game tonight. I’ve been playing really well lately. In fact, tonight I’d say that I played better than anyone else. I had the chip lead pretty much the entire night. And then I lost it all in a series of bad breaks right at the end. So 3 hour of poker and nothing to show for it. *sigh* Somebody up there definitely hates me.
Day 438 of 365 More. You know, if I weren’t so good at my job, I’d probably kill myself. Still working on meeting this deadline by the end of the week. There was so much work today that I really did have a lot of fear about getting it done. It always feels like its…
Day 408 of 365 More. Editor’s Note: This one will probably be long and include a lot of deep introspection. It’s going to wander a bit and be pretty stream of consciousness and less well thought out than most things I write, because really, its more just me trying to figure out my screwed up…
Day 217 of 365 days. I was looking through my previous pictures earlier and just enjoying seeing where I’ve been and what I’ve done, and I realized that I hadn’t really done a simple portrait in quite a while. I’ve just been taking shots that were somehow related to my day and talking about that.…
Day 130 of 365 days. I’ve had a monster headache most of the day today. Honestly I considered just tossing a lame backup shot as the picture for today, but since I kind of had a cop out picture yesterday, I decided that i really needed to put something good on today. Then I realized.…
Day 113 of 365 days. Two days in a row with two backup pictures. Had a very busy day. Spent the morning painting the attic with Steph and then this evening went to Jill’s birthday dinner. I actually did take some pictures there but mostly other people. Actually took this one at her place while…
