Holiday decor Can’t decide if it’s the weather or my age, but the length of time it takes for my legs fall asleep while sitting on the toilet gets shorter and shorter each day. Oh and that cold from two weeks back? It lingers with a cough that’s particularly excitable whenever I try to lay…

I’m trusting my gut to turn the car around and take photos more often. Now to get the gumption and use that same instinct on humans. Today there was either drizzle or steady rain. There was also an outage at Yahoo stores which means broken shopping experiences. So if you tried to get something at…

Today’s fun google image search? Holiday sweaters Got up on schedule, with daylight savings shift this now means “on time.” Drove home in darkness, stopping by the grocery store for a diminutive whole cooked chicken. Avoided the ground beef, but took a picture. Halloween 75% off. Seasonal aisle updated. Current music: Grizzly Bear “Plans” (Covered…

Hamilton, OH [ + zoom ] No trick-or-treaters in the apt. complex, but I did manage to snag the image above with the pocket camera while sitting in backed-up traffic. Originally tried to use the big camera, but the battery was dead. Let me tell you about the 20D—I seldom use the flash, and charge…

my normal pose while at the computer So I’m looking at a video I uploaded to try out Vimeo’s new HD capabilities, and I can’t stop looking at how crooked my beard is. See for yourself. (mind you, the video is senseless, but kudos to the Vimeo team on the quality) Then I just realized,…

yesterday, it rained I’m hoping the rain helps the trees hold on to their leaves (and change into pretty colors), instead of just dropping them to the ground in a fit of dried-out exasperation. In self news, my desire to maintain a set schedule wasn’t so successful this week. I’ve decided to point fingers and…

Star Cleaners — Hamilton, Ohio Same day service…. I can’t say the same about my posting these days. Though pictures are piling up in virtual corners, by the time I get home I tend to be wiped. I even watched a movie last night without opening my laptop. That doesn’t mean the flick required my…

anti-decor Sitting on the floor in the hallway are just a few of the things that are supposed to be on the walls, but are not. A decoupage project from 2003, a Boy Scout “Be Prepared” wooden lid, a Smokey the Bear reproduction metal sign, and a poster about bees in french. I’m wondering if…

rampin up Today I bought new registration stickers for my car. Even though they expired in June, I was under the 90 day grace period. There was no line to wait in. I was shocked—as was the lady behind the counter that I hadn’t gotten a ticket. — I caught this picture while admiring the…

Two references to the Pretenders in about a week! Though it made more sense than a White Stripes nod (insert rimshot) I’m driving north, heading out of the city. The transitions are concise: gritty concrete landscape with old storefronts converted to cell phone joints with brands unfamiliar, check cashing places, dollar stores and then –…
