Man Sentenced for Attacking Child with Hot Pocket Sandwich
Best of intentions
I love sign generators. Here’s what I made using a safety sign generator:
Go here to make your own.
I wouldn’t let them in
In the mornings on the way to work I tend to blare the local rock station in an effort to jolt myself out of a half-sleep-half-awake state. This morning I was stuck listening to the worst version of Bob Dylan’s “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” I’ve ever heard: by Guns n’ Roses. Wow. They managed to really mangle the heck out of it. Seriously. I know I heard it when it first came out, but I didn’t remember it being that bad. Axl was oozing his Axlness (is that a word? I can easily say I’ve never used that in a blog post before) all over it. Then, out of nowhere what sounded like a church choir is added toward the end of what I don’t even want to refer to as a “song.” I’ve never been much of a fan of Guns n’ Roses in the first place, but seriously, this was beyond awful. This would get a rating of no stars in my book. Eric Clapton, on the other hand, does a killer version of it, and he obviously understands the intended feeling of the song, to boot!
Sundog
I caught this on the way in to work this morning. It was breathtaking. I’ve never seen one in person before.

Make Yours a Happy Marriage
While out and about this afternoon I made a quick stop at Goodwill and found this:
I really love the vacant look in the wife’s eyes. It should have been an omen of what was inside. Here are a few little gems I’ve found while skimming…
On a man’s and woman’s role in the marriage…
…for an ideal marriage, the husband should earn the living while the wife devotes herself to the duties of home. No doubt many homes would have been saved had this rule been observed.On a woman’s view of her husband…
A woman who cannot and does not regard her husband as the head of the house is not to be envied but pitied, for no woman under such circumstances will ever be truly happy. The woman who wants the words “to obey” removed from the wedding ceremony may think of herself as a smart and sophisticated being. In reality she is arguing against God’s Word and against her own happiness. Don’t make this mistake if you want to be a happy wife.On having children…
Whatever the reasons may be, persons who do not want children should know that their heart is in open and flaming revolt against God. They stand condemned before Him, before their own consciences, and before the judgment of all right-thinking members of the human race…How wrong and immoral the refusal to have children really is, is best demonstrated by the unhappiness of those who have imposed childlessness upon themselves and by the frequency of divorces among childless couples.
Wow. Stifling…and hilarious.
More studio tests
Flickr seems to be down, so I thought I’d post these here for the time being:
Not too shabby for only a two light setup and tripod issues.
For the love of all things vintage
We bought this couch months ago, but I keep forgetting to post of picture of it.
It’s a vintage Flexsteel in beautiful condition that we got for a whopping $60 at a local used furniture store. I don’t think they knew what a find they had. If we had bought this in Minneapolis, for example, it would have been at least $300. The cushions have one side that is a flecked green, like the rest of the couch, and the other has green, yellowish and teal stripes. We opted for the racing stripes down the middle. Amazingly, the guy we bought the couch from threw in an almost matching (at least definitely matching in condition!) chair for $15. We’ve had enough lucky vintage furniture finds in the past couple years that the only thing in our living room giving away the actual year is the tv. I’m very slowly discovering how to decorate the place properly…one little area at a time. I’ll try taking some more photos of the place if I can ever figure out a decent way of lighting it.
Stare deeply into his eyes
I recently bought a mini-studio set and only got one shot taken before my camera battery died. Oops. Here it be:
I’m not sure why I choose such weird things as test subjects…this creepy gnome and the giant plastic snowman I used at work. I’ve got some fun plans for the lighting setup running through my head. I’ll just have to wait until I make a new white background for it (only came with grey and blue? Weird.)…and of course until my battery is recharged.

What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No. I go for the chandelier; it’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I love the cold. Thirty years later I get a postcard. I have a son. And he’s the Chief of Police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
