Day 216 of 365 days. The kids have been wearing these crazy shoes lately with roller skates built in. There have even been a few news stories about them (don’t let your kids wear Heelys, they’ll bust their skulls). I’ve seen 8-year-olds zipping around the mall on them from time to time in the last…
Day 215 of 365 days. Found out today that I didn’t get one of the jobs I was up for. I don’t know that I’m super-bummed out about it. It wasn’t the greatest job ever or anything like that, in fact if I were offered everything I have applied for lately, that would not have…
Day 214 of 365 days. I had a job interview today. Went in and was corporate Mav. Or as close to that as I get these days. I probably could have gotten SOME job a while ago, but I’ve been so unhappy with SOME job in the past that now I’m pretty much laying all…
Day 213 of 365 days. I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. I’m probably the hardest working unemployed man in the world. Today I accomplished several things. I talked to two recruiters and emailed with a third. I spent the rest of the day working on my paper for the conference I’m speaking at…
Day 212 of 365 days. One of my earliest ideas was to do a fetal position pic in this project. I just never really got around to it. Funny because it seemed like a really obvious backup picture to do. Turns out, not so much. First of all, I’m neurotic and certainly couldn’t just lay…
Day 211 of 365 days. You know its a lazy weekend day when its basically the evening before you even bother to shower. Steph and I spent the day lounging around the house and playing sudoku before we finally ordered chinese food and got showered to go to a party. I had been wanting to…
Day 210 of 365 days. Earlier this week, Marvel Comics made the "shocking" decision to kill off Captain America in the name of a sales boost. What’s the shocking part? The world actually cared. It was in the papers. It was on the news. Non-comic book fans went into my local comic shop and bought…
Day 209 of 365 days. I was really creative yesterday (and in fact, I thought it was an awesome shot, that didn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserved. I’m kinda pissed about it, actually, so go on ahead and check it out and leave me tons of comments and faves, dammit), so it…
Day 208 of 365 days. I had been meaning to do this shot for a while. Ever since the lovely and talented (take that Amber :-P) Sassyshannon999 made her Inspired by the Film group. It suddenly occurs to me that Scarface is not among my 519 DVDs. Clearly that is some sort of oversight that…
Day 207 of 365 days. Sometimes date night isn’t super romantic. Today, Steph and I went to look at carpet for the upstairs bedroom that we’ve bee working on. It’s not exactly a candlelit dinner with handholding, but it was something nice to do and important. Tomorrow they’re coming to measure the attic and soon…
Day 206 of 365 days. I had actually been thinking of doing this back when Steph was doing her tributes to famous paintings, but I never got around to it. But I then when I got this weeks Class With Dave assignment I was happy that I’d be able to use it. This image is…
Day 205 of 365 days. Generally I don’t really like to repeat the same basic shot two days in a row (unless I plan ahead for a good reason, like with my day 182 and day 183 shots), but the dichotomy of today just made this too perfect. Yesterday I was in a room of…
Day 204 of 365 days. Witness the grandmother of all back up shots. It was a pretty long day. First I got a rejection letter in the mail for a job that claims I interviewed well, but I don’t remember even applying for, much less interviewing for. From there, Steph and I went to Gina’s…
Day 203 of 365 days. I was talking with the lovely and talented Katy Hutch earlier today and we were joking about Dateline NBC’s "To Catch a Predator" and specifically my blog entry about how I was going to flirt with children online in an ill advised attempt to get on TV. (Katy was nice…
Day 202 of 365 days. Oh what a difference a day makes. It’s been an intersting 24 hours. I survived yesterday’s early morning car incident only to spend the entire day taking care of tons of errands (including buying new backdrop cloth for the studio, woohoo!). Then, last night, I went to my friend Mike’s…
