stuff I drank part 2

Wanna know why I didn’t get any in the UK?  Because I 1.) lack the requisite subtlety to flirt effectively with British men, and 2.) because British women are totally fun to hang with. 
One reason Edinburgh will always be so special to me was the lovely group of women that met me for dinner and [...]

2 nights in Edinburgh

Clearly, two nights isn’t adequate to really enjoy all that Edinburgh has to offer.  Additionally, while I enjoyed travelling by myself, my visit was greatly enhanced by the “friends of friends” made via myspace.  One of the problems of travelling alone is that its really hard to take photos of yourself, and there were several [...]

kneel before my photographic prowess!

These photos were taken with a Kodak Advantix camera that my sister gave to me for Christmas over 4 years ago – before I went to Italy with the Alabama Slama.    Crazy.  The last time I took photos I was proud of, I was in Spain, 16 years of age, and using a DISC camera.  [...]

a fleeting moment of photographic glory

Do you know why this photo, of the ruins of Whitby Abbey, is so fucking great?  Its because I’m not in the photo to ruin it. 
I had my photos developed today and the main thing that occurred to me whilst reviewing them was, “What possessed me to wear that?”  Then, I remembered that the walk [...]

stuff i drank, part 1

Because I 1) don’t have a good digital camera and 2) can’t find the damn thing anyway, the posting of photos from my trip to the UK will be delayed.  Unfortunately, I’ve also been very under the weather since Wednesday – am hoping the antibiotics take effect soon.
However, I can go ahead and list the [...]

the anglophile returns

 Goodness!  Is my vacation really over?  Is it really 4:26 am for me?  Why and how the hell am I still awake?  Do I really have 150 messages awaiting me on my blackberry and should I be concerned that there aren’t more?
The trip was excellent.  So much so that I sat down in my hotel room [...]

the comments issue – rectified. maybe

Okay – I think I finally found the box to uncheck that allows everyone to comment without having to register.  Comment away!  Or, if it doesn’t work, email me and bitch about it!  I won’t care since I’m on vacation!

tally ho!

The first vacation in four years begins tomorrow!  Watch out, Yorkshire lads!  What ho, hunky Scotsman!  I’m bringing the sassy and the sexy.  I will not be bringing the Smackberry or the cell phone.  My ability to communicate digitally will be curbed.  I think this will be good for me.  I hope to return with [...]

babykins kicks it up a notch

My niece turned two on Friday.  Check out her hair!  You may not be able to see, but it goes down to her elbows in back when pinned back in a ponytail.  She received a Tickle Me Elmo TMX for her birthday (they were scarce over Christmas) and thanked me for it this morning after [...]
