Sunday was taking the train to the Maverick’s game, Home Depot for plants and dirt, and some laundry. There’s always one thing that makes me forget to take a couple of photos; this time its working in the yard. …

The Day in Photos – February 23: Filming, Gaming, Playing, and Drawing
It was one of those weekends in which my accomplishments didn’t quite live up to my ambitions. I have about four or five “intellectual” posts half written in my head, but so much kept going on that I didn’t get anything really, actually written. But I did take the time to write up this lame excuse. In…
The Day in Photos – Sorta – Feb 16th and 17th
I didn’t do so well at doing one photo every hour, every hour that I was awake either on Saturday or Sunday, partially because some of Thom’s family was in town. It is hard to focus on my own obsessive compulsiveness while trying to converse and brainstorm activities for a mixed age and interest group…..
Valentine’s Day for Dorks
So its Valentine’s Day, but you still want to make sure everyone knows you’re a dork? Good news! There are plenty of options out there that will allows you fulfill your love interest’s holiday expectation without being smooth, sophisticated, or overly dignified. I decided to write a series…
My Tiny Engagement Ring
“My mother is urging me to have my ring “upgraded” because a respectable American middle-class woman needs a bigger diamond. Other people have made comments along the lines of “That looks like a promise ring that a high schooler would give to his girlfriend” and “You should have held out for something nicer.” To many…
Kettle Art “For the Love of Kettle” in Deep Ellum
Tonight Kettle Art in Deep Ellum held “For the Love of Kettle”. Each piece was priced at $50, with the proceeds going to the gallery. (Next week “For the Love of the Artist” will be held on 2/16 – similar concept, but proceeds going to the artists.) Like most art events in Dallas, and especially…
MiniBlog – Wedge Sneakers, but Cheap.
I’ve wanted a pair of wedge sneakers, much like the ones Will Code For Clothes posted… but I wanted them in what I consider a “dignified” color (no neon, not gold and pink and bright blue) and I also had it in my head that I didn’t want to spend more than $20. I…
Anyplace Glamorous – Miami, Oklahoma
At the end of the summer, I decided to break up a long solo drive by going on vacation. I was driving from Dallas, TX to Effingham, IL and back, alone, in a weekend (its about 11-12 hours). I had taken the Oklahoma route because I didn’t think I could stand the Arkansas route again….
The Day in Photos – Sunday, January 13 2013
I tried to do the day in photos on Saturday but majorly biffed it by not doing anything interesting, then forgetting to take some photos. So here’ s Sunday instead. These are not the best cell phone pictures ever taken.. I used the native camera instead of Camera 360 this time.. and basically proved that…
Street Style from Gorilla vs. Bear II at Granada Theater, Dallas (TIMEWARP!)
I took these with the intent to post at the time, but I guess I wimped out and felt self conscious about posting my street style shots. As I look back at them now, I know they deserve to be posted. There might be a little out of focus-ness, but I think they still have journalistic value….
What They Wear on a Cold Day in Dallas
I wanted to try out my new camera in different situations today, so I drove down into Dallas. I was hoping to catch some in congruent shots of snow on the familiar landmarks that are usually bathed in sun.. but most of the snow had already been cleared away from roads and walkways. Instead I got a…
Christmas Eve in Pictures
Yesterday, on Christmas Eve, I took a photo every hour, for every hour I was awake. I was hoping to capture the story of the day, and interested in seeing if the pictures would tell me anything about my day that I didn’t already know. In the end, I found out that my day is…
