Tell that to the guy who tried to unplug the M5.

So over the past two days I have been bitched out by my ex for no good reason, was publicly embarrassed by my stage manager in front of my ex, accidentally ate meat, and broke my phone.  It's only Wednesday, but I'm calling it:  worst.  week.  ever.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Bought my first vinyl record in over a year today, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Show Your Bones. I love that album and stumbled on it in a shop, couldn't resist. Also  scored an X-Files "I want to Believe" poster. Have no idea where I'm going to hang it, but I've wanted one since I was a wee lad, buying it seemed like the right thing to do.

Think I'll go hang it right now.

 

JEDIT: Behind my bedroom door, where almost no one will see it but me. Perfect place.

UVB-76 is strangely hypnotic to listen to.

A bit like the easy listening version of the theme to the Prometheus trailer.

Here are some of my favourite ghosts, real (?) and fictional, in no particular order.

I remember this one from an episode of Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World. They subjected it and several other spooky photos to a high degree of high tech scrutiny. This was the only one where they couldn't find any camera or film anomalies to explain the image.

It's also the creepiest ghost photo I've ever seen.

The FX tests for the Poltergeist closet demon look very different from the finished film.

I made a spoof of this photo for an exhibition about 20yrs ago where he (?) is emerging from the same door that my parents did when they were married.

It's notable for being one of two of my works which actually sold.

I had loads of offers for my art pieces but my mother kept claiming them just before the money came my way.

It's been one hell of a year.  All of my stuff including my iMac but excluding the stuff in my storage was stolen.  I started having seizures back in March which was also the same time I had to start using a cane or wheelchair depending on my back and seizures.  That's just a few of the things.

HI DAYV! DID YOU LOSE YOUR VOICE AS WELL AS YOUR PASSWORD? ;)

Sorry about your woes, but good to see you are still alive!

I lost my password, because it was on my computer that was stolen.  The original email that I used back in 2003 is long gone.  

I decided not to go ALL CAPS this time.  I know that it was my signature on here, but it really wasn't necessary anymore.  I'm sure moth3r will be pleased.

I'm so sorry to hear about this.  This is a cruel world with so many thieves and perpetrators of psychological harassment.  I'll keep you in my prayers, and I want you to know that it's good to hear from you.  I'm glad that you have returned.  Try to keep a positive attitude, and keep fighting.

Took down the blanket that was serving as curtains in my bedroom in order to wash it. Oh man! Those things blocked out a lot of heat! It is stifling in my room right now, ceiling fan is on full speed and I'm still sweating balls. Wish that dryer would hurry up and finish its job...

 

I do my Spring cleaning in the Fall, apparently. That is how bad of a procrastinator I am.

If you don't type in caps, you could be anyone.

We need proof, type something all in caps, it's the only way to be sure.

"I beg your Majesty's pardon," returned the Pumpkinhead; "but I do not understand you."

"What don't you understand?" asked the Scarecrow.

"Why, I don't understand your language. You see, I came from the Country of the Gillikins, so that I am a foreigner."

"Ah, to be sure!" exclaimed the Scarecrow. "I myself speak the language of the Munchkins, which is also the language of the Emerald City. But you, I suppose, speak the language of the Pumpkinheads?"

"Exactly so, your Majesty" replied the other, bowing; "so it will be impossible for us to understand one another."

"That is unfortunate, certainly," said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. "We must have an interpreter."

"What is an interpreter?" asked Jack.

"A person who understands both my language and your own. When I say anything, the interpreter can tell you what I mean; and when you say anything the interpreter can tell me what you mean. For the interpreter can speak both languages as well as understand them."
