If I already have Photoshop, why might I (or wouldn’t I?) want Lightroom as well? Inquiring minds. This is really the end of this entry. I’m completely tapped. Nice!

The Man is officially completely out of his flat and into our house. But don’t worry–nothing is actually set-up or established in any way, there’s just piles of stuff everywhere. This is more like the beginning of the cohabitation process rather than the resolution. I have ten thousand hours of sorting, trashing and Goodwilling ahead [...]

We had supper at Kao on Victory. The food was tasty, but the four women dining at the table next to us were beyond completely unsavory. It was one of those situations where I couldn’t stop eavesdropping because everything I overheard was so incredibly contrary to my core belief system it was seductive in its [...]

I love Halloween. I’m for it in every way. I think eating too much candy is a right we should constitutionally guarantee. I believe playing dress-up to be as important to happiness as daily hot showers and having a good mom. I know some folks who are wary of Halloween because they think it represents [...]

Because I run what can only be described as a “micro-business” (*cough*glorified hobby*cough*), I don’t buy supplies in huge amounts. Soap is made with fat, I use vegetable fat. Grocery stores are crazy with aisles and aisles of vegetable fat. Often, with sale prices, it makes more sense to buy my soap fats in smaller [...]

I insisted The Man pull a U-turn so I could photograph a carrion beast absolutely schooling the carcass of a possum. I couldn’t stop laughing and exclaiming “BRUTAL”. I also laugh when I cut or burn myself while cooking. I think it’s part of my “flight” reaction. The scariest part– the soulless bird eye staring [...]

It’s Lovely I’ll Take It “A collection of poorly chosen photographs from real estate listings”. As a home owner who regularly fantasy shops for a new house in a neighborhood that’s not run by feral cats and seemingly parent-less children, I can’t say I’m surprised someone created a whole blog dedicated to this topic. But [...]

For a wedding present, my brother gave us a print of a fish he caught. He literally inked and printed the fish, cause he’s arty like that. I think it’s really lovely and unique, and very much makes me think fondly of my brother…but Ethel, well Ethel thinks this fish print is THE BEST EVER. [...]

My serious obsession with Google Reader has reached fever pitch. There’s got to be over a hundred blogs in my que. Maybe 1/4 are photography blogs, so easier to keep up with. But still, the sheer number is out of control. Lately, I’ve made it much worse by investigating the Reader’s recommendations to me, that [...]

This was an eventful day. But all the events were ones beyond what I can discuss on a super public blog. So this will be a short entry. Tragic, I know. So instead, I present to you: how my nails have looked since we started the torturuous bedroom painting. That’s Betsy’s Linen in semi-gloss, if [...]
