Last one for a while....

This will be the last new headshot of me for a while...I'm trying to get another photoshoot set up for sometime in the fall.

Again, Thank you, Renny! You're the best!

True Blood, Being Human, New Hulk cast in Avengers...

Found out I'm allergic to nickel today. Bizarre (The clasp to the chain on my work badge if that's not positively Freudian, I don't know what is. ).



Being Human - New episodes start on July 24th. WooHoo!



True Blood - Bill's starting to scare me and not in a good way...Eric's sneaky, but I don't recall him being so quick to hit a chick and he was a Viking for pity's sake.



Also Arlene...How long does she think she's going to be able to conceal the fact that she's pregnant from Sam?



Tara-Poor baby...She needs to take back control...I'm not sure how, but I miss the way she was in Season 1.



Promo spot for Damon from The Vampire Diaries - Damon-O, Damn--Didn't know whether to laugh or moan or both.



The Passage -- I'm about a third of the way through this. One thing I can say for sure about it...It is very hard to put down.



I finished Etta James's autobiography...I decided to read it after seeing Cadillac Records. Fascinating, inspiring, and harrowing...Jimi Hendrix's nickname gave me a tickle.

As far as The Beatles fans getting ticked off about Lady Gaga at John's piano...Everyone has a right to their opinion, don't get me wrong, but no one down here walks on water. You dig? And before you ask I enjoy Beatles, John Lennon's solo stuff and some of Gaga's stuff.



My insomnia is back...I'm pretty sure the causes are stress on the job [again!] and some other things that I'm trying to work my way through. I'm pretty hopeful I can resolve just about everything though...

New Hulk casting...Umm I like the idea of Mark Ruffalo a lot better than I like the idea of Joaquin Phoenix...Again, excellent actor, just not for this.

I feel like I'm forgetting to blog about something (I know I've been all over the place...I'm sorry. Focusing is hard for me. Oddly enough I was never diagnosed with ADD as a kid.).

My doctor's office ticked me off so badly this morning! Since when is it ok for a doctor's office to cut the answering service off with no warning. (They said the faxed a referral and didn't. I didn't have the time to waste, so I'm cutting them loose.)

If I can just get through tomorrow evening in one piece I will be a happy camper indeed.

@Lost365

Don't beat yourself up. We love what you do. You have to pace yourself, plus RL always intrudes. I draw and set project goals for myself that I disappoint myself by not meeting too, so I'm right there with you. Awesome pic of Mr. Eko. I'll have to backtrack to look at some of your others.

July 6 post on Nikki's Say in this World...

I still can't get the Blogger posting comments field to work right on this computer I'm on, but I just wanted to tell Nikki I totally agree with her and I share her anger and frustration...Maybe if enough of us make a noise?...But then, not that it makes it right, look how long it took for the rumor of Cass Elliot and the choking on a ham sandwich falsehood to go away. Some people are just malicious, some think lies are more interesting, some just don't think before they speak...I don't know what it'd take to correct lies about Michael and with the scale of some of them, I'm almost not even sure it's possible...He's also not physically here, and that also makes people feel like they can do/say what they want regarding him [libel/slander or no]. I think the more stuff out there like your blog, MJ 777's blog, and the things Aprodite Jones has recently done...maybe there's hope and maybe more people will start to question what the media puts out there.

It's always something...

Contemplating getting a futon or a daybed...

I have to put my yoga class on hold...I think once I get the new bed the progress the chiropractor has made will actually begin to stick.

Cancelled Showtime and found out that Idris Elba is making a guest appearance on The Big C. :( I wanted to see it anyway, to see what Gabourey Sidibe's role would be like, but until the fall I'm strapped for cash...Didn't want to get rid of my cable altogether, so I've started getting rid of premium channels...(HBO is a last resort, because I have to have my True Blood.) I figure if push comes to shove...there's always Netflix, Hulu, or Buying the Seasons of my fave shows when they come out on DVD, the only problem is I get like I do with most of my books...I watch or read them once and then they sit...(Once this happens I give them away...I'll fool with eBay and a later point. )

Didn't realize it was Frida Kahlo's bday until I hit Google today...They are awesome...

Had some people ask me about Laurell K. Hamilton's book Bullet today... I like what's going on with Richard...wish he'd woken up sooner. Nathaniel and the ringtones. Lol I love him too.

Read The Night Tourist by Katherine Marsh over the weekend. It has got to be one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. I enjoy Greek mythology. I also love it's portrayal of the afterlife...A Ghostly version of New York...Getting to meet James Baldwin! I don't want to get into anything too crazy, but you know where I'd like to hit? Studio 54. :) I'll be curious to see where The Twilight Prisoner goes. One day in real life I'd like to go back to New York and go take some pics of the Alice In Wonderland statue from unusual angles or something like that...(It would be like my 4th trip back to New York. Don't get me wrong, I love DC...but however long I stay in New York, never seems like long enough...and I still haven't been to Harlem. )

Can't think of too much else going on with me besides the same ol, same ol.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I'll be so happy when it finally rains...This heat and humidity is totally kicking me in my a#$!

Hope my freaking phone is working by the time I get home...I've enjoyed the peace, but I don't want other people not able to get in touch with me or worried as the cost of it...

Been a roller coaster ride day...

Didn't have to sit through a b-day celebration I didn't want...Always a plus.

Have to redo my freaking transit form again, which sux. [My first year doing it by myself and math was never my strong suit...Go figure...}:(]

Have a lot of library books to try and finish...[I'll be fine and then a batch of holds come at once. Now that you can only renew stuff twice...I have to scramble or pay fines...They're raising fines too, so they'll be making a mint off me...at least for a while.]

May have houseguests this weekend, I'm not sure...

Was messing around on one of the Marvel forums...I see 4 names getting tossed around for Luke Cage...I wouldn't be upset with the casting of either Terry Crews, Michael Jai White or Isaiah Mustafa (The younger Old Spice dude.). : D Somebody said, "Please not Will Smith!" I second this...He's awesome, don't get me wrong...Just not for this. I'm also glad to see they're rebooting Spiderman...That last film just blew.

Still messing around with my artwork...don't know when I'll get a scan of the ones I've completed up yet...I also realize I have some more photos I need to put up too.

I've got job stuff to contemplate as well...

Oh yeah, I found a hidden treasure in The Express today....


I definitely want to check this place out, once I have money to spare again:

The menu looks awesome and like I said, I'd just love to check the place out...

Tumblr

I saw a tumblr blog I wanted to follow listed in Further Dispatches...so I sign up and I think I'm following it twice. :( ...If that's even possible...The screen grayed out when I tried to fiddle with my profile...Maybe I'm overlooking something really simple...I just took a mental health day yesterday, so I didn't think I was that bad off, but then again...I'm way overdue for a "real" vacation...if I can just hold off for a few months longer, I think I'll be alright...

I don't think I'll start another blog...if I have to remember too many more usernames and passwords, I think my poor brain's going to go Kerflooey!...
