Loving the Lomo!

I received my Lomo on a cloudy day, so the first round of pictures I took with it weren’t that great. I didn’t give up though – I loaded up a second roll of film and went off on another photo hunt. I just finished off the second roll and had them developed today and there were definitely more “keepers” in this batch! Mad props to Heather for the tip on shooting in bright sunlight – that really helped give some of them the “Lomoesque” zing! Brightly colored subjects helped too. Don’t think, just shoot…

I’ll post some of them over the next few days in the Pixelog. Of course, if you’re using a skin with the most recent photo, you’ll be among the first to see them!

It’s Stuck and It Won’t Get Out!

I’m just a bill.
Yes, I’m only a bill.
And I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it’s a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It’s a long, long wait
While I’m sitting in committee,
But I know I’ll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill…

Come on, sing it with me! It’s stuck in my head – now it can be stuck in yours too!

Congressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you’re a law!
Bill: Oh yes!!!

Today’s Deep Thought…

I’ve been saying it over and over since I started watching all of these Seinfeld episodes (see my last post) – is it just me, or is the Blogosphere itself a lot like watching Seinfeld? The show about nothing is just as entertaining as the blogs about nothing, don’t you think?

Over and over, I keep wanting to say “Get out!” It’s all Elaine’s fault…

Seinfeldathon…

I’ve been craving some Seinfeld. I remember the first season or two, I thought the show was terrible. I never watched it. Then somewhere along the way, I was hooked. I think I’ve seen every episode.

Finally, on Sunday I remembered to check the Tivo lineup to find out when Seinfeld is on. Turns out it’s on 3-4 times a day! Get out! So I’ve been Tivo’ing all of them. I can’t get enough Seinfeld. I need more Seinfeld!

Some of my favorite Seinfeld moments of the past few days?
– Kramer has found the Merv Griffin set and has set it up for his own show.
– Elaine just called a guy “sponge worthy”!
– George wants to be called “T-Bone”.
– Elaine is driving. Just a bit worse than her dancing!
– We meet Poppie, while Jerry dates the chick that won’t eat the pie.
– Chinese gum.

And many more. It’s funny how much of the Seinfeld lingo eventually worked it’s way in to society. Just try saying “No soup for you!” with the Soup Nazi tone. Or the sponge-worthy thing. Almost everyone knows what that means. It amuses me to no end. I love Seinfeld!

What’s your favorite episode? I just can’t decide – I can’t pick just one!

Weather Blogging…

Really, this isn’t going to turn in to a weather blog, but at the moment it’s the most exciting thing I have to say. Claudette came and went, and as far as hurricanes go it wasn’t too bad here in Houston. Wet, icky, and clouds moving zippy fast – but no lightening or thunder, and the flooding wasn’t as bad as it’s been in previous storms. I was convinced yesterday morning that I would be trapped and unable to get home again – so the lack of flooding was really good news for me! It was sunny by the time I left work and headed for home, quite a switch from the drive to work.

Today it’s just as gray and icky outside, with thunder and lightening added in. It could be what is causing my gloomy mood – I hate it when it’s like this. Add to that the fact that I have a sore throat and I just want to curl up in bed and read the Order of the Phoenix. I now have two weeks worth of e-mails to answer, but last night after I signed up in FitnessTrainer.com and went thru the whole routine with my personal trainer, I just didn’t have the energy. Tonight. Must get to those tonight. I’m also sending out “H-Town meets Beantown” invitations – so if you’re in the Boston area and you want to attend, let me know and I’ll be sure to include you!

Stress is just way too high right now. Is it time for my vacation yet?
