I'll forgo the usual "Spring has sprung" quote... but suffice to say, it's time for the Spring template...It's probably a lil bit fem... in that it's all pink and flowery (although perhaps no more so than the Geisha template of days past)...But it's officially Spring now (for two whole days now), and one of my favourite things about Spring is seeing the pretty pink blossoms everywhere... that and the cygnets I think... and sunshine... and an earlier sunrise...These shots are actually from last year's Blossom Excursion...Now, if only the weather would hurry up and ...
Unsurprisingly, the Honeysuckle Lane Monday Montage... a little abstract, but some good colours...I not a whole heap better this afternoon than I was this morning. On the plus side I didn't have to sit around and think about it all day, but on the downside my day at work was a trifle frustrating in it's own way... and because I had other things on my mind this morning I had trouble taking in what I was being told. Granted I could probably do the job vaguely blindfolded... but it was still somewhat hard to make my ...
I was reading a blog post where the author talked about how he didn't like the scene and there were too much insecurities and drama in it. I think he is right. The scene could be fun but I think it also promotes unhealthy competition, unrealistic perception of life, and strive in general. I think many of us would have tasted a few of those things when we first came out and went a bit nuts about going out. I certainly did the first two years after I came out - yes, there was a time when I practically ...
I thought today was going to be okay... I mean, I had some slight jitters about the whole "new contract, new people, new location" thing, but nothing worse than usual... and then when I get back from my walk I find a little "time bomb" (not a real one obviously) sitting in my letter box that has thrown my whole day and mood off...Unconscious Mutterings, sunconscious smutterings...
Talk about your "four seasons in one day" day... okay, maybe not all four, but it was freezing and windy and raining first thing this morning, then this afternoon it was all blue skies and fairly warm but still windy... now it looks like it's heading back to cloudy and somewhat windy...And weather was an important theme today, since I went out this morning to snap some photos of Honeysuckle Lane... it was fairly early when I went out, but really grey and windy... which is good for photography, one giant "softbox"... but of course, as soon ...
Book, book, book, book, book, book, book...Way back in the dawn of time when I was a wee lad (okay, maybe not THAT wee... but I would still have been in some form of schooling) one of the libraries near our house would have regular book sales (and I count it as a proper "book sale" when fiction books are about 50 cents a piece or less). Big ass book sales too, like "hire out a big educational gymnasium" type book sales... which is why any number of books in my shelves have library shelf stickers on them...But ...
the first time i saw my mother without her false teeth, i cried. as a child she often warned me about the dangers of losing my chompers if i didn't brush them every night and if i continued to eat the amount of ice-cream i was eating. you see, i did far too much of the latter and hardly any of the former. i guess she was just scaring me into doing the right thing since i was a stubbornly lazy and greedy six year old.but there she was. toothless. gaping holes where her two front teeth should be. up ...
