Where the Walls are Soft…

“John…? Do you know where you are, John…?”(A quote from my long ago radio-play) Over 60% of my visitors live in the U.S., whereas, surprisingly (at least to me, anyway), only 11% reside in my own country. What really saddens me, though, is that nearly 10% of my readers don’t have a clue where they are… Random [...]

“No Spitting”Taken November 26, 2007 with Canon PowerShot A550 Even the “ladies” are doing it…It’s got to be the most disgusting habit – ever – and it’s the one pet peeve I have about my job. Everybody seems to think it’s perfectly acceptable to just hawk and spit on the pavement (or worse, in [...]

Grate OneTaken February 16, 2009 with Canon PowerShot A550 I’m thinking that having her mother sic the cops on her might make things worse.Well, this is a weird space I’m in… I feel like I’ve been through a cheese grater, hence the pic above, which is not a cheese grater, but it’s the closest I [...]

“Bleed”Taken November 15, 2007 with Canon PowerShot A550 …rumour has it, the new owner wants to gut the interior and remodel, and plans on giving all the tenants notice.I’m feeling a little raw, lately. There are a lot of changes being thrust upon me, and, as you all well know, I don’t deal with [...]

Too brain-tired to do anything but click the pics…. click the pics…. click the pics….

Dead on a Dare If looks could kill, I’d be an outline on the pavement, too….So, I did it, Suzi. I “killed” The Hummingbird, and I drew a chalk outline around the body. The picture didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped – probably drawing in the mush and the muck of [...]

“Sunflower 3″Taken August 28, 2005, with HP PhotoSmart R607 For the record, Ky has never claimed to be a vampire.David McMahon wants to know: Do you have ESP? Short Answer? Christ, I hope not. But, my kid seems to have some creepy abilities that make me wonder about “powers” that I don’t like to think [...]

“Who Sends a Box of Sand from the Old Country?!” “Mock my vords, dey vill all haff flot feets in der ult aitches.”Just in time for Hallowe’en, Ruby came out with a never-before-told story. It’s a little bit comedy. It’s a little bit horror. Ruby leans toward the comedy in a really big [...]

“Rainflower”Taken October 19, 2007 with Canon PowerShot A550 Things are a little funky around here at the moment. A few things are going on that I don’t have words for yet. I’m trying to keep it all together here, and for the most part, I think I’m doing okay. I may be abandoning [...]

“Off Center”Taken October 19, 2007 with Canon PowerShot A550 I found this on ePifFunnies today, and it struck a chord. Numbering the alphabet, A through Z, 1 through 26, we can calculate that, to complete a task, KNOWLEDGE gets a 96 in importance and CAPABILITY gets a 98, but ATTITUDE gets…100! Contributed by [...]

I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date – with Ruby and a crossword puzzle, and a decent cup of coffee today, finally. No time to post a pic, but check out Photo-Play for the latest, if you’re interested. In the meantime, let me play with your brain. Weirdness Addendum: When I first looked at this, [...]

“Bring on the Rain”Taken October 6, 2007 with Canon PowerShot A550 I spent yesterday enveloped in a strange mood… and it’s carried over into today: an odd kind of feeling that I can’t quite place, because I don’t think I’ve ever felt it before; not in my entire life. I’m not particularly “old”, as [...]

This pic stolen fair and square from a German spammer So, I get this spammy email with “Ich habe gesehen Sie haben noch Schallplatten” in the subject field. And I just couldn’t bear to trash it ’til I knew what that meant. So I babalfished it, and it means: “I see you still [...]

Dory and Daffy are at odds as to what I should do with the day… David McMahon has very generously offered his expertise to the Internet at large… “In view of the fact that all bloggers are writers (but not vice versa!) I was wondering if you could help me with one of my major aims. I [...]

All the while I was supposed to be writing about a loud and brassy female tavern owner, all I could think of was, “I should clean the cat-box”.I’m in a bit of an “Odd Spot”, so to speak. So many good things have happened to me lately under the “What Do I Want to Be [...]

“I hope she’s still there, un-possessed, in the morning.”The Good I slept last night! Oops. I guess I mean the night before last. Friday night, anyway. I’ve been having sleep concerns since before I quit the Dream Job; it’s a big part of the reason I quit to begin with. Still [...]

“The whole building feels like it’s about to spout fire at the base and launch upward.”One has a crinkly beard that grows half-way down his chest. I’m not sure how he manages to keep hammers and such from becoming entangled. Perhaps that’s where he stores his tools? One wears suspenders, which I find [...]
