Here is an awesome fairy who never speaks, plays an instrument that makes no sound, and carries around fairy dust and metallic pebbles for small children. Her wings were amazing.

So my wife went grocery shopping this week end, and I told her to pick me up some Ramen noodles for lunch.

This morning she said, "Hey, I put some ramen in that bag for you to take to work."

"Thanks babe!"

I get to work, open the bag...and pull out several "packs" of Ramen...each the size of my head....and I have kind of a big Irish head.

 



Also...what's the score on sweater vests?

I don't know what "what's the score" means but I do know that that sweatervest looks mighty nice on you. Although a handknit one that was slightly narrower in the shoulders would impress me even more!

While in NYC, my boyfriend and I sat in a little park and took silly pictures. Unfortunately, for most of them, he wouldn't wait until I had stopped giggling to take the picture.
So, as a result, my thinking pose picture looks like this:



His thinking pose is so much better:

You don't say who the choice of photo is aimed at, which could affect the selection (more or less formal, for instance).  I would pick out 4 and 7 (a close call between 7 & 8 ) as the most relaxed looking, and so (I presume) the ones that put you over at your best.

Oh! It's for my grad photos, essentially they're for my mom to plaster all over my house. I essentially just want the photo that looks the 'nicest' while still going,"Hey, that girl isn't unattractive" because these will be hanging next to my sister's... and um, we're competitive sometimes.

But in a family setting, the smile in 4 is preferable in my mind to the more formal 3; but I've decided I'd go for 7.

3 is my absolute favorite because it makes you look a girl I'd like to hang out with. Someone who is cool, and personable, and just in general awesome(and this is based just on that photo, not your posts, which from my memory also make you seem like good people.). I also like 5.

Hey guys, I wanted to show you a picture of my favourite new knife that I got in the far north of Finland, but I didn't want to break the "no weapons" rule. So here is a picture of my awesome knife presented to you in a completely non-threatening manner (and in my hands, to satisfy that other photo-thread requirement):

I took the photo with my cybernetic eye-camera implant, of course. Why, how do you take photos??

Also they have bigger knives for reindeer-skinning. I just use this one for odd jobs. It's very good for cutting all that fucking plastic wrapping off when you buy a C.D. from J.B. Hi-Fi, for instance.

An easy way to remove the plastic from cds it to place the cd on the edge of a straight corner of a counter, or table, and pull down. It doesn't work on rounded edges though.

J.B. Hi-Fi tends to envelope their C.D.s in two and sometimes even three (or two-and-a-half) layers of plastic of varying degrees of strength and rigidity. It's much easier just to use a good knife.

Pictures from the summer are making their way onto Facebook, and here are a couple of my favourites.  I worked at the same summer camp type place I worked at last summer, and had another wonderful time.

Last summer I was in a band with other people working there and we performed one song, an Animal Collective cover.  This summer there was a new band, and we wrote one original song to perform for another staff member's birthday.  Chorus: [One syllable first name] [One syllable last name] you are a changer / and you are a stranger / to everything about me except my cock / and that fucking rocks / it's your birthday / it's your fucking birthday / [Name].  Amazing poetry it wasn't, but it was fun, and the jest was much appreciated.  Here's the band:

And here I am enjoying a hula hoop.

MY best friend and I played a huge game of capture the flag Saturday night in Toronto's financial district. Another friend of mine just linked me the most amazing pic that was taken for this pretty popular Toronto blog of it. It was a pretty phenomenal night.

Actually that makes a lot of sense. Reading glasses are going to magnify your up-close vision, so it mucks around with how far away things like, oh say ,the ground or your feet are, if you're trying to walk around. You probably should just be wearing them for reading, not all the time.

Yeah, I guess. And I'm not wearing them all the time, that would drive me insane, but the lady said I should wear them when I'm at the computer as well, which is, well, a lot of the time. But I'm guessing easing into it is a good idea.
