Day 829 of 365 Again. I’m going to do better. I swear. I know I said that last time. I was going to try to do better at answering people’s comments, and I was on task for a few days, then fell behind again. Three weeks behind. Well, I caught up tonight. I went and…

Day 828 of 365 Again. So Stephanie is a big fan of reality TV shows. When I don’t have anything better to do, I watch them with her. Today she was watching "The Amazing Race." This brought to mind something that I had noticed years ago when watching Survivor. Here’s the scenario. The Amazing Race…

Day 827 of 365 Again. A friend of mine from wrestling got married today. He hired me to do the photography. I’m kinda torn on wedding photography. I’ve done a few of them and they present an interesting challenge. I don’t like the lack of control. In a studio setting, or even on a location…

Day 826 of 365 Again. The end of the work week. Wheee! I guess I could have done something exciting with my Friday night. Really I considered it. But no. Instead I just stayed home and watched TV and played some video games. No drawing. No writing. No photography except for this. No work! But…

Day 825 of 365 Again. So, I got asked out on a date by Brigid the other day. She wanted to get together, have some wine and do a self-portrait together. Normally anybody would consider that a wonderful thing. The problem is Bree lives all the way out in Portland and I’m in Pittsburgh. That…

Day 824 of 365 Again. Yesterday was probably my lamest 365 shot ever, so I figured I should make up for it today. I’m actually pretty happy with what I came up with, especially given that I didn’t start working on it til 11:30. Credit to this idea goes to Max. He took the plot…

Day 823 of 365 Again. I thought this would work out much better than it did. Oh well. I took this while driving down the highway, on my way out to the bar again tonight to see my friends perform. It’s basically become my tuesday night thing. Sadly my Tuesday night thing doesn’t excuse me…

Day 822 of 365 Again. Ow. The problem with wrestling is that I’m old. Oh so very old. I still enjoy it, otherwise I wouldn’t do it, but man am I sore the next day. Yesterday, I was in a Battle Royal and then I was in a tag team triple threat match. When I…

Day 821 of 365 Again. Note to all grocery store owners. Jelly is not Jam. Jam is a yummy fruit product that is full fo all of nature’s goodness and wonder. Jelly is a travesty. Please do not mix them together. Please do not think that because there are 100 jars of jelly on the…

Day 820 of 365 Again. I had a thought this evening. I’m always bitching about how the future should be here by now. Where the hell is my flying car? But then I started thinking about other future stuff that I don’t have yet. Like retinal scan locks on my front door. That would be…

Day 819 of 365 Again. Oh that’s right. I’m an artist. I used to draw stuff. Sometimes I forget. A coworker of mine asked me to design a cartoon logo for a side project of his some months ago. But I’ve been so busy with other stuff that I’ve never been able to get to…
