Yesterday

It rained. I took this pictures after it stopped. I have another shot that I like better. I'm also playing around with some cropping. I seriously have photography on the brain. But I really should work with the supplies I already have.

I lived

Okay, I didn't do anything all that grand. I just wnet to the meeting for the crew for the play. I met my crew-mates. They're hilarious. I didn't say a whole lot, they talked about people from their school, but it was fun. I'm glad I chose to do this. It's making me want things from life. I was so apathetic for so long.

I'm ix-naying the dark philosophic stuff, now. :)
I should go make something. Etsy is still taking a while to put up new listing, but I should keep creating, right? So I have something to list...eventually.

Oh, and one totally random question: Why do so many guys have such nice eyelashes? I'm not one to quibble endlessly about eyelashes and the shapes of my fingernails, normally. But there was this guy at the rehearsal yesterday and his eyes were almost entrancing. Slightly pathetic, I guess. But it's true.

So there, you have two sides from me: dark and thoughtful, slightly crazy and random.

Title-less

I like to come up with witty or subject appropriate titles. Today, I got nothin'. I wanted to update here, though.

I haven't made anything in a while, because all I can think about is photography and paper goods. I'd really like to open a second etsy shop. I think I have a name for it. But I don't have the inventory. Still, I think about it all the time.

Today is the first day that I go to work on the backstage stuff for the community play. So I'm occupied, the 'rents are happy. (I actually don't like that word.) I'm not employed, this is volunteer stuff.

Still searching for some sidebar widgets? If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. :)

From the far side

Okay I'm not sure where the title came from. My head hurts and it's getting late so I'm may a little out of it. I wasn't going to post today. Then I asked myself why. I didn't have an answer. (Which is probably good. If I start answering myself then I'm really crazy. :P)


These potholders sold today. It was the first time I didn't almost fall out of my chair with excitement. Since I'd gone over 2 months without a sale I should have dropped down on my knees and thanked God. But for some reason I'd had a feeling for awhile that a sale was coming. It had to be coming. So I expected it. I am happy though. I'm not surprised it was these either. It's always the things that I think no one will like that sell first.

I watched Memoirs again with my mom. She liked it. I liked it better this time, since I knew what to expect. I'm still mad that they didn't put in the book's ending.

I changed the sidebar background to white. But as you can see it stops after the content. Anyone have suggestions for more sidebar widgets? I don't want to clog it, but I need to add something get the sidebar white to the bottom.

We ran into a lady from our old church. She said I was pretty. I just smiled. I don't hear that often. Or maybe I do and I don't listen.

Away from normalcy

For some reason Blogger just ate my post. I'll to try to remember all the things I said before.

There is a lot of backstory involved with that commercial. It's a McDonald's commercial, that I just saw last night during the NBA finals. It has to be among the worst ever. But I laughed because it was so horrible and because it reminded me of this:

Brother2 and I were Christmas shopping last year in Target. In the aisle over from us, a woman was on her cell phone. She was looking at the books and would say every few moments, "Call girls...no." Sometimes she would change it up a bit and say, "Call girls, mo-bile...no."

I was getting a little freaked out, unnerved is probably a better word. This went on for several minutes. The two of us wondered what in the world she was talking about, who she was talking to, why weren't they getting it. Yet, if she was frustrated she didn't let on. It was like this was common. She must not have known how crazy she sounded to us.

Then it occurred to me, thanks to techno-savvy Brother2, that the woman was probably trying to call her daughters on their cell phone. She had in her Bluetooth, though she wasn't really pushing her cart anymore. I suppose she wanted to dial hands-free. But I'm not lying when I say she must have fussed with her phone for about 10 minutes. She was already asking when we came into hearing range. For all that she could have just dialed the number and been done with it.

I'm not sure if the humor of that situation comes across in prose. But it was hilarious to us, then. We still will randomly say to each, in the monotone of that lady, "Call girls...no." Then we'll crack up.

So this commercial was helped a little by that, the correlation made it funny. Seriously, I don't know how it made it to television, though. But then I'm not sure if maybe that sandwich is worse.
