I have fantasies that one day I'll have the kind of life where people want me to do photo shoots, but turns out NSM in real life.

I kinda hate my microwave egg poacher and the kids love poached eggs. I should definitely invest in one of those egg poacher things.

Jilli,

awesome!

and the mental image of blood spatter application has me in giggles.

I drove down to the lake today, because it's Fall and October and I do things out of my routine at this time of year.

So silent. The occasional bird. The faint putt-putt of a boat headed to the launch ramp, the truck crunching over the gravel to get to the boat. It felt like actual pressure, the absence of sound.

Unfortunately it was a hazy day. I'll have to go back down there after a storm, when the air has been cleaned out.

Some folks on my FB FL are now getting bent out of shape that God is being taken out of the classroom because their kids are being taught BCE and CE instead of BC and AD.

God only belongs in sunday school classrooms. Sheesh.

In completely unrelated news, one of my coworkers set up a call for a mentally ill person engaging in "fecal shenanigans." I can't make this stuff up.

If it works, I will have an actual tintype portrait to keep.

That is so AWESOME.

It was a fascinating process. They had an antique dentist's chair in the studio, so there was a neck brace to keep you still while you sat and stared into super-bright lights for the 45 second exposure.

How completely cool is that!

At Lee's! Whee!!! Ate yummy sushi and drank yummy beer and am in her totes adorbs house! In NoCA, hallelujah! It's actually gorgeously chilly here. Ahhhhh.

Wow Jilli, I am so jealous! What a great image, what a groovy experience too.
