i can’t use a screwdriver, i can only drink them

To say its been a long day would be putting it mildly. However I’m in a good- tired mood at the moment. I have some bits and bobs to still do this evening, and Ali is getting in at 230am so I might as well stay up and finish off everything.
Is it just me or [...]

take these rings, stow them safe away

I don’t wear much jewelry. A trait I seemed to have picked up from my mother. I however do wear two rings. One simple gold band – my grandmothers wedding ring. The other a silver band I bought at the beach some 8 years ago and it just never left my hand.
I wasn’t aware the [...]

not the robot part, the faith part

There was an earthquake in Newcastle last night around 1am. I just thought it was really strong wind.
Today was very busy, but also felt really slow. Does that make sense?
I stood this afternoon in our white cube gallery, holding in one hand a stack of revised labels on their way to be printed, my back [...]

I stole this from Beth over at A Cup of Coffey.

a single raised eyebrow over a monocle

Around 7:49 am this morn, I gave up.
I tried, my best even, yet some colours just don’t mix. And there is no point in forcing brush strokes. I don’t think even the most talented could finesse this.
Oi and vey it is. Well, the day can only get better. Hopefully.
I have been thinking a lot about [...]

looking for a man that has recently drunk milk

My inner dialogue while watching No Country for Old Men:
5 minutes in: I should turn this off. I’m gonna have to watch most of it through the shield of my fingers.
10 minutes in : I should have turned this off the first time someone was shot.
25 minutes in: Okay, the coin dialogue at the gas [...]

i’m just trying to be honest about being a misanthrope

Clementine: This is it, Joel. It’s going to be gone soon.
Joel: I know.
Clementine: What do we do?
Joel: Enjoy it.
I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind again this weekend and I have always been struck by those few lines of dialogue. Perhaps because immediately afterwards there is a vignette of the two on the beach [...]

lost and found

Ifoundyourcamera.net
Have any of you heard of this? There is the whole privacy issue, but I think for the most part people would just be happy to get their photos back. What do you think?

in the distance i hear some laughter, we laugh together

I’m trying to find a way to tell this story where I don’t come out looking like a knob. Don’t think its possible though.
I made the mad dash downtown this afternoon at 4:45pm, since the world closes at 5 and I had limited food, I was rushed. Got the essentials: milk, bagels and cheese.
As I [...]

bits and bobs

Going home.
Thought I’d make the trip back to say hello and such. In between making a pit stop in California, as per usual. When family gets sick, gotta go though, right? Nothing extremely horrible, but just made me realize a few weeks back home would probably be the best thing.
Leaving in a few weeks. [...]
