inbetween

Life: pretty damn good right now.

I have an office again. This one is smaller than Empire Books, but still nice. A Window, but only an internal one that look out on other people (secretaries - I have two secretaries to do my bidding and fix the printer). And there's that window wall behind me, looking out on a hallway and all those grubby students paying their dues.

I'm eating a salad. Gah, salad. But it makes sense: Monday was cake day. Tuesday was left over cake day. The monday before that was cookie day: cookies delivered on a cart, to the office.

Benefits: full. I'm given benefits I didn't think possible. I seem to discover new benefits and perks and such each week.

What do I do? I do what ever the hell I want: I'm a Web Developer.

And yet again the author sits at his computer trying to get this damnable blog going again...

bah...

*sip* I Likes my wine... vino... Trebbiano D' Abruzzo...

Look, I'm trying ok. Even with the third-person-voice in the opening...

I miss the math. Really.

Browsing the university pages today (not the University!) in the math department really struck home a single point: I didn't learn a damn thing in geometry class, other than how to meditate.

Autumn and spring are my favourite seasons.

[29-June-2006] Why are the photos from this night so difficult for me to deal with? It isn't the booze: there's still booze-a-plenty. Nor the people, although they are mostly gone now. I think it is all in my head. The photos are so far removed from my usual images, and outside the comfort zone. Something in my mind is resisting, pushing. It's time for the conscious mind to push back.

[25-Oct-2006] This was going to be a photo of Adrienne Clarkson. She spoke and read from her new book tonight, and I got some great photos. The lighting was just perfect. Small problem: no memory card in the camera. I feel dumb, so I'm forcing myself to actually deal with some of these photos.

Jay and the girls at the party. Yes, that party.

Next up: a bathtub.

Sue is tamed and controlled with a buttplug that contains her soul.

Another shot from the party. That party. Seems like so long ago.

I hate fireworks.
