Me, My moose and I

So I thought I would play with a more sweet picture idea. Before you even ask... yes, I do sleep with my moose every night like a teenage girl. I also sleep with Winnie the Pooh, but he is more like a pillow. So here for fun is my sweet dreams pic. Probably no pictures over the weekend because of travel, sorry. So enjoy my fifth pic :)

They only come out at night

I am such a dork. I was developing my western blots in the darkoom and I had some long exposures. Now my brain pops up and says hmmm what wonderful light to play with.......My camera goes everywhere with me lately. This is becoming an addiction. Anyway..here is my fourth pic for fun.

So here is my third pic for now....not sure the lighting and effect came out quite the way I wanted them too but it is not too bad.

So me against the wall, which is pretty much how I feel.

Against the wall

You have me against the wall. I am fighting but it just isn't enough. So for now, you have me against the wall, you know. Please, hold out your hand, I am not going anywhere.

In the bath with me.....

Well this shot was very entertaining to take. Actually I started with this one and let me just tell you, it is incredibly difficult to get all those bubbles to do what you want, balance the camera after setting the timer and get the back into the right position. Anyone watching me try and do this set of gymnastics would have died in laughter. But the picture came out completely cute, surprisingly. Although I had to photoshop out my butt (actually Lillily did that for me ..smooch), sorry but I just can not have my booty on the internet, however lovely it may be. I love that I managed to get bubbles on my feet. So for your enjoyment or entertainment, whatever...my second photo

Experiments in artistic adventures

So several of my friends have been doing self portraits and pics as a way of creating and expressing. I know many who are doing the 365 day project and you guys have inspired me to attempt some picture taking and work on my self expression. I am not going to do 365 as I simply can't right now. But lately I have felt sad, mopey and deeply depressed due to a combo of work and personal stuff. I found that playing around with this somehow made me feel a little better. So I am going to try it for a while and post when I feel like it. Comments and recommendations are welcome as I have no clue what I am doing here and I really really wish I had a better camera. I think it is not so bad for my point and shoot. It made my soul happy to do something creative and that is the point. I am not Facebook posting this so you have to check LJ or flicker if you want to keep tabs on my fledgling attempts :).

So me with the red curtian.....

You and me and those moments when the mask of life comes down and I can just be me.

It is all Sesames Streets fault...

As a child I did watch a lot of Sesame Street as did we all. All the characters were awesome but I had a severe love of the yip yip monsters. To this day I still remember the skits. Watching it as an adult I realize how twisted it is. I really think Sesame Street contributed to my warped mind, truly

so a couple of my favorites.....

This lovely lady does the coolest read and reviews of books. With each book she reviews she make a self portrait reflecting the book. Since I have many writers on my list I thought you would find her as interesting as I did.  This was one of the funniest and coolest ways to review a book. The pictures are amazing, she is a great photographer, which is not a surpise as she is friends with [info]lililly, who is one of the most awesomely talented emerging photographers I know.

The reviews are not bad either so check Karin out :)

 It is cold here now and the snap in the air is making me wear gloves or hand shoes (handschuche) as I learned they are called in German last night. This weather, while awesome, also makes my feet hurt. I broke of them both many years ago and the cold always makes them stiff and painful until I have walked on them a bit. It is odd here though because the Christmas decorations are up every where already.  I am not used to them being up before Thanksgiving and it seems strange that the downtown shopping area is full of green, gold and red, twinkling lights and roasted nut stands. I can practically smell the cinnamon in the air. I just do not feel ready for xmas yet. Now the bakeries are putting out all sorts of yummy looking little cookies and cakes for my eyes to ponder at the train station in the morning and I have to think of shopping for people soon....yeah so not ready. Just a month ago I was settled into a nice routine and now it has all changed in ways I am not quite capable of dealing with yet.

In addition to random acts of baking, depression for me often digresses into beauty experimentation.  cut for flist mercy, don't read unless you care about beauty products and girl stuff.... )

sadness
 A friend of mine posted this today and I am in complete accordance...

Is it just me realizing that I have fallen miserably short of all the things I planned and dreamed and strove for? I feel like I have run head on into a solid brick wall, fallen down, and can't find the desire to get back up again. I know I should. I want to want to get back up, but I just don't 

and that is exactly how I feel ..like life has just hit me and I am laying on the floor knowing I should get up but I have neither the will nor the way. So I kind of lay there and watch things pass me by. I have lost the flavors and smells of life. The feelings have slipped from me leaving nothing but grey, insubstantial sense of being that could just fade as people bustle around me living their lives full of promise and hope.  I want to grab onto hope but I just can't. I just feel sad. So my friend...you are not alone. There are others of us laying on the floor too.

cozy evening

Warm fuzzy sweater..check. Warm cup of jasmine pearl tea...check. Thesis for editing....check. migraine fading..check. Guess I am all settled in for a cozy evening. But I can't help and miss all of my friends. I know I had a little Halloween get together and it was nice and very low key but something was missing somehow. After seeing all the Halloween pictures online I am hit with a severe wave of homesickness for all of you guys.....

So I will cuddle up with my fuzzy blanket and think happy thoughts or at least academic ones to distract myself. Happy Halloween everyone.

This was a sales ad that was in my inbox today. Now companies are marketing products by their bizarre names instead of their relevence to your work....whut! Sadly, I know many of these names because the antibody is named after the gene. Often the gene names comes from scientists who work with flies and this means they spend a lot of time around a great deal of ether. Well you can already see the jokes about those fly guys and ether.....

From Mindbomb to Silencer of death...

Our extensive catalog includes an impressive number of antibodies with funny or strange names.  Follow the links below to learn more about these bizarre antibodies:

  • Mindbomb

  • Ken & Barbie

  • SNAIL

Word of my Week

Triskaidekaphobia \tris-ky-dek-uh-FOH-bee-uh\ , noun:
1.Fear or a phobia concerning the number 13.

Despite NASA's seemingly ingrained case of triskaidekaphobia, which forced managers to impose the bizarre, '13-free' numbering system on its flights, the crew of perhaps the most important Shuttle mission to date clearly were unsure if STS-41C was supposed to be unlucky or not.
-- Ben Evans, Space Shuttle Challenger: Ten Journeys into the Unknown
