Yes Sir, I can boogie, boogie woogie all night long.. [06 Jul 2009|11:53am]

vesnu


ММ.. террррапия перешла в наступление.. не знаю, что мне вкололи, но лекарство сменили - факт! Чувствую себя бодряком, резваком и мегапозитивом!! Мм..безуууууумно хочется танцевать.. моя маленькая красная девочка на пути из клиники до офиса превратилась в грохочещего музыкального монстрика! Мы слушали всё и пели даже то, чего не знаем.. мы дёргали лапками и крутили ушками, задние лапки скакали по педалькам в такт! И сей час всё оно же... ))))))))))))))

И я даже не могу рассказать про дораду, поездку по мЕтрам с непросохшей с ночи  подружей, исполнение паромщика и мыльные пузыри, промоакции, сервис (о, да, биби же тоже поменяли все масла-жидкости и фильтры-свечки)........ ММммммммммммммы парим!! Лалала!!!!! )))))))))

стоматологическая картинка [06 Jul 2009|11:38am]

lumbricus
очередная из моих недавних галлюцинаций стоматологических.

непокорный зуб, доставлявший мне длительные неприятности
болями и нытьём, упокоен навеки. из него вырваны три нерва,
каналы залиты цементом и спущены под воду в тазике
лучшими пломбами и забиты стеклянными штифтами. мир его нервам.

I've been meaning to update lately with odds and ends, current inspirations, and other random babblings. I still would like to update with some recent photographers that I've found and fell in love with immediately. I'll do that soon, it's just this computer is giving me so much grief. I can't stand it anymore. It's taught me a lot of patience but damn, sometimes I just can't take it anymore. This computer is such a piece of shit, or maybe it's just the router, who knows?

Last night was horrible. I couldn't sleep until 4am and was waking up at 8am for Ashtanga yoga at 10am. Besides not being able to sleep I had a really horrible distant memory of somebody, I'm thinking my father, yelling at me or in general and it got me so scared that I was crying and I was the most uncomfortable I've been in my own skin ever. The yelling amplified with every thought and the memory was on the tip of my tongue. I got so scared that I had to go check on my dad who was up and cleaning some of the kitchen. He was fine but as soon as I got down there it all slowly went away. It was a horrifying experience. I have suspicions as to what caused it but I'm not sure. It's so hard to explain.

Lately I've been watching a british show called "Hex." I caught a few episodes when it was on BBC America a while ago and wanted to watch it ever since. I downloaded the two seasons and watched the whole first season the same night...I was up until like 4 that night. It's such a great show in my opinion. It's about a girl going to college in a britain in an old castle. She discovers she's a witch and a fallen angel is after her. Her lesbian best friend is sacrificed in the first episode but is a ghost for the rest of the seasons. Sorry if that was too much information but I reccommend it if you like anything about witchcraft, demons, romance, drama, college life, homosexuality, etc etc. The first season had me crying a lot. I think the show is just really well done. I mean, I couldn't stop watching it. The only thing I can say against it is that it does feel there's something missing or that it went by extremely fast. The first season was only 5 episodes long, the pilot being 80min. and the rest of them being 40-45min each. I think that even though I like the series a lot, the end of the season lost something. They don't seem to be much about the witchcraft aspect even though they are. It's hard to explain.

I've been contemplating spending the rest of my savings on cameras and other stuff I want and could use. I've been saving that money, which has slowly dwindeled down anyways, on a trip for this summer that I don't think I'm taking anymore. I'm really bummed about it because of how badly I'd like to travel somewhere and see new landscapes and people but I just don't know. I've already spent a great deal of the money, probably half of what I had at the end of the winter semester of school. I kind of just want to blow the rest of it and buy some new photography equipment and books. On the other hand, I feel like I don't need what I want.

I fucking hate money. It makes me really depressed and guilty feeling.

I think I have realized that I'm going into photography. It's all I care about anymore and illustration seems so distant now. I don't want to ever give up on illustration because I do have talent for it but photography speaks more to me now. It could be just because I'm a lazy bastard but whatever. I still love drawing and sketching. I sketch so much for all of my photography ideas, and I do have a lot of them. The only problem is that I have such a clear vision in my head that I don't know sometimes if I could ever reproduce it. A lot of the time though once I produce my idea, they're just as good or better than what I had in mind. That's always the best.

The left side of my left ankle has been bothering me on and off since yoga this morning. It doesn't hurt but every once in a while I feel a very strange "numb"? feeling. I don't even know if describing it as numb is right but I don't know how else to describe it. I think it was something to do with the veins covering the balljoint on my foot and them getting moved around or ballooned or some shit.

Tomorrow Daniel is driving, him, Chloe and myself to Ann Arbor to shop and possibly visit a few different people. We haven't seen Chloe in so long and she's moving to Oregon I believe soon. :[ It makes me sad because Chloe is such a wonderful friend. I wish we would have hung out more. But an Ann Arbor trip will be delightful. I haven't been there in a long time and we will be hitting up stores galore and hopefully not be tempted to spend a ridiculous amount of money. I'm going to limit what I take but I don't get to go to Ann Arbor very often either. We're heading out at about 10am so we should get there at noonish. That'll give us plenty of time. I'll be sure to take cameras and film, maybe even my digital, who knows.

Again, I hate money.

I didn't expect to write so much. I'll update again in the next couple of days.

Belvedere Castle, The Ramble, Shakespeare Garden, Beats Antique and Randomness... [05 Jul 2009|09:27pm]

Being a Manhattan dweller for nearly a decade now (and a native NYer to boot), it's with shame that I admit that I have barely explored Central Park. In my defense, Central Park is enormous (843 acres or 6% of Manhattan's total acreage) and home to a variety of very unique structures and gems of nature.

A few years ago, I documented my first time exploring the Conservatory Garden in Central Park which is very close to where my apartment is. And, I only first went to the Central Park Zoo 3 years ago (unfortunately I did not document that, but I will eventually ;)). However, there is one structure I have been dying to see ever since I was very young. That would be Belvedere Castle.

I still find it amazing that there is an actual castle structure nestled deep within Central Park and that I have lived here for over 30 years and have never been even close to it (despite having been to the Great Lawn more times than I can count). What better day to remedy this than July 4th?

Belvedere Castle, in addition to being the exterior shots used of Sesame Street's Count von Count's home, is also the second highest vantage point in Central Park. It was built in the late 1800s and is quite stunning to view and explore.

Guess I'll get back to work since it will make things easier in the end...
*sigh*

I get so jealous lately of people who get to do things like take a bike ride, or sit on the couch and watch tv, or work out, or visit their family, or go over to their friends for a bbq,.

volunteer.work.volunteer.sleep - repeat...
(and much to little of the sleep part)

ok. seriously, last complaint, I swear!

It's been so long since I've done anything for myself I don't even remember what's on the list. Except taxes... 3 years worth - oi...

fireworks [05 Jul 2009|07:31pm]

fireworks, originally uploaded by terryhadalittlelamb.

Yesterday was probably the best fourth of July that I have ever had. I had a ton of energy when I woke up. Work was pretty good, I ate 2 free hamburgers and a free donut. After work Greg and I went to The Park of Roses to see the fireworks. The event was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. There were food vendors and a band and people with tents. We met some friends there. The fireworks were amazing. I really enjoyed them. I just kept snapping pictures the whole time and ended up with 400 to go through. A few of them are actually good.

Today we drove around all day. We drove past Alum Creek then to Mt. Vernon, then over to Hoover Reservoir. We stopped at a bunch of yard sales. Greg bought a bike for $5 and a mixer. We had never been to The Hoover Reservoir before, it was pretty neat. There were a lot of sail boats there. There were some raccoons and a goose hanging out in the rocks by the dam, they figured out that if they just stand there and look up people will throw food at them. The raccoons were really fat! I didn't take my camera because this all started out as just going to get something to eat for lunch.

I can't even remember what else we have been up to. Comfest was last weekend, we had a lot of fun hanging out there on Friday. Comfest is a music festival in Goodale Park. We rode our bikes there and back. Who knows what else, we are always having some kind of adventure.

pop it, lock it, drop it. [05 Dec 2009|06:31pm]

[ music | sean kingston - fire burning!! ]

A British man had to be rushed to a hospital emergency room after attempting to circumcise himself with nail clippers, the Telegraph reported Tuesday.

The unnamed young man was taken to the Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, where he had the wound cleaned and disinfected.

He was kept in the hospital for observation.

"This is something we would advise men never to attempt," a medic told the Telegraph. "The results can be quite horrific and long-lasting and have quite an affect on a man's sexual performance. Using a pair of nail clippers must have caused excruciating pain, even if he had had a few drinks beforehand."

why oh why??

ok... I've been inside allll day doing volunteer stuff again... and half of yesterday too (between crying & searching for bird).

Even though I'm only about 75% done, I think I need to stop and have a drink and maybe even take the rest of the night off to rest up for work tomorrow...

I'm exhausted - mentally & emotionally.

Kendall County (IL) Police OUT OF CONTROL. [05 Jul 2009|04:48pm]

rustdangel
So, on the way over to my parents house I got pulled over... The officer said I was going 61 in a 45, I know for a fact I was not, I watch my speed closely, my speedometer said 55 but I know (from our trip to Detroit last year, we clocked it against our GPS, because even tho it said I was going 55 I felt like we were going so much slower than the rest of the traffic... ) in reality I was only going 50. But there was a gold/tan Camero, Firebirdish sports car that was just FLYING till he got past me then he quickly slowed down... I was hoping HE was going to get pulled over because he was just driving recklessly, he flew from behind me, without his signal and cut in front of me again without his signal...

Long convo with the officer he claimed that he didn't see ANY Camero, I asked... don't you have a dash cam? he said yes, but it only comes on when the lights come on... Then he should have seen that car because he had to pull up right next to him at the light, on the left hand side, that car made a left hand turn. I described the guy and his car and what it was he did... but I still got the ticket.

I'm sorely disappointed in HIS complete LACK observation skills, how could he not see or notice any of the other vehicles around him? Now I'm going to have to hire a lawyer to go with me on my court date, I refuse to submit a guilty plea for something I DID NOT DO. I know the economy is hurting, but damn to pull over someone who's innocent is just wasteful of everyone's time.

update: I emailed a local law office that does traffic offenses... if I don't hear from them by Tuesday I'll be calling.
