Happy Meaversary

This is my 300th journal. I think a month ago I had 250, but I am working hard to make semi-quality posts for you (e:Paul) so we meet our quota.

I have been so busy this summer I didn't get a chance to take as many photos as I would have liked, but here are a few I took with my homemade pinhole camera. I took all of these on that walkway ontop the tide break on the Niagara river.

It makes nice little abstractions from objects on account of the lack of focus. Often the lens will be dirty, and being just a pinhole it gets some cool color anomalies.

But sometimes a regular landscape looks like something soaked in gin.

This winter, I need to do more indoor photos. Which means bigger, badder light bulbs!

Costume

I am still working on costume ideas. I fear that I am an idea man and incapable of executing anything I put my brain too.

1)Dungeon Master: no, not the kind wearing leather chaps. Rather, get together a hideous costume with a nerdy t-shirt, a fake beard, and a bottle of "the dew" and there ya go, DM.

2)DMILF. As I posted earlier, doing a sexy Dungeon Master could be hilarious, but I don't want to glue a four sided die into my belly button. And again, chaps might enter into it.

3)Wall Street Hobo. After the crash, Manhatten Jones decided to hang up his brief case and ride the rails, searchin for that big hand out in the skies. I like this costume because it gives a good excuse to be too drunk.

Weekend from WTF

I went down to Ohio to canvass for Obama. For a dying city, Cleveland looks very nice, had a vibrant night life, and had plenty of new construction. Think about it Buffalo, are you so different? Update that skyline.

I am guessing the total cost of the trip was around $9,000 for 33 people. That includes hotel rooms, ten rental cars, a bus, and food. This tab was picked up by a union and so we canvassed only union folks as not to violate any campaign laws. Fine.

I talked to maybe three people at most. The other thirty people I was designated to canvass were not home. The experiences of the other 32 were identical. Thankfully, I had the company of two fine gentlemen who worked on the campaign this summer with me and I couldn't have asked for better company. We would knock out a days work in an hour plus driving time. The other groups would go all together, four people on a single door. So, I spent the majority of my weekend waiting around to do more work that didn't exist. Very nerve wracking.

But hey, I got to see lots of Cleveland and her distant suburbs and I got to hear Democrats disguise their racism with "I am still undecided". Bitch please, this shit has been going on for a year now. If you are still undecided it is because you don't like black men.

Goodbye forever Cleveland suburbs other thank Shaker Heights and Lakewood.

Was I just scammed?

I have a big fundraiser tonight (wish me luck) and so I don't get to go home an eat dinner. So, I set out for some supper. I exit the front door of this building and a guy is sitting on the street.

Well, five minutes into the worst "Brother can ya spare a dime" shtick I have ever heard I tell the guy I don't have any money but I can get him some yogurt and a juice box. I walk into the building again, made the guy a sandwich, grabbed two juice boxes and go back out.

Gone. Not to be seen.

No matter, he probably got shooed away. So I go get my dinner to go and on my way back to the office I pass a woman. She smiles a huge smile at me and says "thanks for the lunch".

Was I just scammed? If so, I did not lose any money or sandwiches. It seems like a poor scam. Perhaps this is some sort of homeless witchcraft and soon I will dance uncontrollably for not having prompter service.

I will keep you abreast of my condition.

Incredible

From Ben Smith's blog. One voter said

"Well, I don't know much about this terrorist group Barack used to be in with that Weather guy but I'm sick of paying for health insurance at work and that's why I'm supporting Barack."



people who actually believe Obama was involved in a terrorist organization are voting for him.

Well, at least McCain still has Ricky

"He's neither-nor," said Ricky Thompson, a pipe fitter who works at a factory north of Mobile, while standing in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store just north of here. "He's other. It's in the Bible. Come as one. Don't create other breeds."

HELL YA!

It is a post-apocalyptic world down here. None of the businesses in this building are open and I think I am the only one here, at least the only one on this floor.

So I am doing work with music blasting, doing little dances as I get up to get a stapler or something. And life is just grand.

Of corse, being that upbeat about the plague killing everyone else in the building is odd when you have large windows looking out to a normally busy street (which is also dead during the lunch hour). Yup big fat lady, I know you saw me shaking my thang while putting letters into the folding machine. You can stare, but you aren't going to have nearly as much fun as me.

I hope everyone else got the plague and is home enjoying themselves.

Lazy Sunday

Jim hates some of my favorite foods. So occasionally I make something so delicious he can only throw up at the mentioning of it. Today, for example, I made stuffed eggplant.

You peel the hard skin of an eggplant, cut it in half length wise and hollow it out.

Take the eggplant meat and put it in a food proceccor with a whole spicey as you can stand it pepper some egg whites. I ground some oats up in a coffee grinder because wheat sucks and added that in too.

Put the mixture inside the eggplant, put in a pan with a dolop of olive oil. 350 degrees for an hour.

It should be golden brown on the top. Prinkle some minced parsley and lemon juice on top.

yum, yum.
