Quirky? Yeah, that’s me. Very quirky. Or neurotic, depending on how you want to look at it. It is all about perspective, right?
I went to fill my car up with gas today, and I was faced with one of my quirks. I can’t stop pumping at an odd dollar amount. I can only stop at a whole dollar amount, or a quarter amount … so $23.00, $23.25 and $23.50 are ok. $23.12 is simply not acceptable.
I’m not the only one that does this, am I?
More new photos at Pixelog! I need to post another one tonight; I’ll be glad when the “Huge Ass Beers” thumbnail finally moves off this site.
Today’s photo was nothing more than a quick snapshot in the rain, but I’m very pleased with how it came out. I didn’t edit it at all – for the most part, that is the way it came out of the camera. The only tweaks I made were to resize it and run the Lomo Effect action against it.
It is always nice when you have photographic accidents like that.
I feel very blah and bland lately here. Not overall, not away from the computer – just here. The past few weeks have been busy, the creative juices are flowing. I did a card project day last weekend that went over very well – with a repeat of it coming up this weekend; I’m psyched about stamping and working on getting SassyStamps.com set up and making custom cards for people; Pixelog has been redesigned and I’m enjoying posting photos there again. So many things.
But here? Blah. Maybe I need to go back to my original domain, BlahBlahBlog? Because things weren’t so blah around here then.
I guess I’m just feeling melancholy and wistful for the old days. I miss having people comment, and it’s something I just can’t figure out. Feel free to tell me if you have any thoughts on it.
Meanwhile, enough of my little pity party. I just felt blah and needed to get it out. Maybe then I can move forward past it.
Doc has finally answered a question that I have wondered about for many, many years – one that always comes up again at Halloween. You know the one…
Just how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
With a little too much time on his hands, he has conducted a very scientific test to finally get an answer. Now that that question is answered, I can finally sleep at night.
Creamy Tomato Soup that Donna made in 27 minutes. Sounds tasty!
