I look more rad than Lutheranism

I am not sure if the stars look older because they are not made up, or if the tintypes make people look rougher than usual

Yeah, I didn't think the pictures were flattering. And maybe they weren't supposed to be. But they all kind of looked like zombies, to a lesser or greater extent. Except William Macy, who looked like a hobo.

Put William Macy in different clothes, and he'd be the perfect weatherbeaten pioneer subject of a tintype.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

They weren't their usual Hollywood pretty, but they were incredibly compelling. And Elijah Wood, Nick Cave and (of all people) Flea seem to have absolutely ideal faces for tintypes; I wouldn't have been a bit surprised if the photographer had added a note at the end saying, "Oh, yeah, I threw those three in because I found them in a box of tintypes in someone's attic and they were such great vintage celebrity doppelgangers I couldn't resist."

Oh man, I think Flea is when I started thinking "They look like zombies!"

I guess I'm not a tintype gal.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Weird thing happened. While I was using the treadmill, my left foot started feeling like it was asleep. Dunno if it was due to the muscle cramps/tightness in my left calf, but the foot feels normal now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I love the picture of Dana here

What can I say, I know how to pose.

I texted Dana earlier to tell her that my dentist appointment was way more relaxing than any of the meetings I've had today. But it was just a cleaning, no x-rays, and my teeth are good. I wasn't getting a cavity drilled, or anything.

I'm running errands now because I can't do them tomorrow (late evening meetings + hockey game), and I'm getting on a plane Thursday at 7am.

Then I need to login to work when I'm done. I'm starting to wonder if the weight loss secret is being too busy to snack.

Yikes, Sheryl! I hope it's nothing.

I am weirdly stressed that fitting today's run around my eye appointment is not as simple as I was supposing. It's fine, self! It's light out until after 8. Also, I kinda wanted to go shop at the newly re-opened Ace, show my support, but I can't think of anything I can go pick up without doing a lot of research first to make sure my specs are right. Hardware is a tough impulse buy. I mean, it's easy for me to impulsively buy the entirely wrong thing, but I am trying not to do that.

OK, ita, I browsed through a few pages of thumbnails - you have a lot that I like very much. I'm going to go with my first instinct and plump for Seeking God III (with the tiger).

Whoa, not having as bad a day as this semi driver whose truck is now jammed under a bridge. No wonder traffic was backed up!
