first "photograph"

2009-04-29T17:15:00.000-07:00

I took this photo of my little sister before school one morning using my dad's vintage pentax. I took my first roll of film very seriously, and was devastated when the kmart processing lab put my b&w through color processing, giving it that sepia look. I was 11 or 12. The curlers in her hair were a regular thing--my mom did it for both of us several times a week. (The right side of her hairdo is done.) I love her pajama top and her funky youthful teeth.

Slumdog Millionaire sucked. Majorly.

My Friend Luke...

is so awesome. He is one of the few true writers and artists I've met out in the big bad world. Even with a full time job he produces more work in a week than I do in a month. This month he and Jenn Brothers, an amazing gal and amazing Kansas City and Lawrence-based photographer are getting married, and I'm telling you, they are a couple to reckon with--both in matters of art and love.

The Lottery

And I'm not talking Shirley Jackson here.
Sometimes I buy scratch off tickets out of boredom. Well, today I added up all my scratch off tickets and discovered I have 20 bucks just waiting for me--won off of "The Crossword" (difficulty level: advanced) and "Triple Cash" (difficulty level: beginner).
My plan is to go to the grocery store later this evening and get the 20, then buy 20 dollars worth of new scratch off tickets until I'm a hundredaire. Just kidding. I'm going to use the money to buy food and toilet paper because that's how desperate I am. I found all the tickets in books, being used as bookmarks.

Bob

As a David Lynch fan, it's strange how late I was in entering the world of Twin Peaks. The first season of that show is generally agreed to be near-perfect, but I'm not interested in analyzing the work of Lynch and the actors, the excellent writing, etc. For me the show is so damn good because I can't quite understand what it is doing to me. What started as a strange meditation on good and evil quickly became more and more terrifying, as Twin Peaks eventually reminded me in more and more ways of how evil exists and works in the lives of ordinary people, while they go about doing ordinary things.
I eventually became so scared of Bob that I couldn't sleep and had to stop watching the show toward the end of season 2. But Bob continues to scare me--and I mean it. Not at all in a fun slumber party kind of way. Bob is terror.

It has no purpose. Other than the fact that it proves I figured out how to post again. Mmmwwa ha ha ha ha ha!

I have no idea how to do this computer stuff. I don't know why I would even need a blog, as I mostly avoid talking to people. So this will probably be the first and last entry, if I even figure out how to post it.
Maybe I will make my blogging name by starting and abandoning a succession of blogs, a la the childrearing philosophy of Rousseau.
I guess check back to find out!
