Slide Day
I am looking for a sponsor, purchaser, maecenas if you will, of a project I have in mind. I will sell you, lucky other person, a day of my life, in the form of 36 photos shot on slide film. You will sponsor the roll, the development and the printing and, if applicable, the shipping, and I will document one day in my life with the utmost fervour. I can reasonably sell pretty much every day this...
Yeasir, finally. Holiday for a bit.
And that’s a second roll of HP5+ full of pictures of things. Inserted a new Tri-X 400. Anyone willing to sponsor me with 35mm film?

Realizations You Should Have Had 20 Years Ago:
1) People don’t think it’s “cool” to be happy & optimistic and to LIKE THINGS like costume parties and New Years resolutions and the color pink. (but WHY?) — juliaallison etc. etc. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with maintaining interests in childhood things. Objectively, there is no difference between liking Disney princesses and liking the...
I shared a link from a page that someone tumbled earlier with my Dutch friend Marieke and she sent me this email:This is funny too, we (the dutch) think these are english words, but they are not we just assume they are ..is that correct? http://www.joppeluiten.nl/onecht_engels/onengels_engels_page.htm - Dressman (male mannequin) - Handy (telephone) - Showmaster...

Design things
I am working on this Tumblr design a bit now. Every few minutes, I’ll update the CSS that is on the server, so it should be a fancy sideshow of shitty design.
Son of a fuck! One of my neighbours has the tendency to run about the house and slam the doors, as if she’s in a perpetual rush. “Fuck you.”
Sometimes, when I’m at home and nobody’s watching, I like to unbutton my shirt except for the top button and pretend I’m a super hero. This works equally well when I wear a tie.
And then I could. I am going to read now, and design after that. I deserve it, or so I tell myself.

I wanted to read today. To sit back in my best chair and read fiction and facts and philosophy, and to drink tea while doing so. It is a good way for me to relax, as any other means is either tied to extra fatigue (going outdoors for whatever or painting) or to things I already do a lot of (design, painting, photography, writing). It is not surprising that I didn’t, and I don’t know if...

I might design something more appealing than this if I can figure this system out (seriously, how much markup does it even need? I dunno, the online tool confuses me). I will also make more words and more posts. Also, more of you gosh darn kids should follow me and get off my lawn.

Trying to use Hotmail (or “Windows Live Hotmail”) in IE6forOSX. It works better than the other options. Safari is blocked entirely for me :/
