  1. LOL wot? How'd I miss this? Hello, darlings! Though as of late I've been listening almost exclusively to Jeff Buckley... I suppose I can call myself somewhat of a Terry Reid fan as well. These 2 are my favorite songs: (I heard Superlungs ages ago, and always thought that voice was amazing, but didn't learn that Jimmy wanted him until many years later - and my reaction, based just on that song, was - boy am I not surprised) for some reason people always get impressed with this one, vocally: here's also some visuals... and a pic: and some folks here might find this interesting: a bio I posted a while back - follow this link (if any of the links above die in the future... you can listen to the entire Superlungs compilation here)
  2. You're serious? I was just contemplating a blog post titled Summer is coming to a desert near you! with my weather report... 950 F today - I guess not much to complain about just yet...
  3. Can't quite see, the pic is too small - does it go to 11?
  4. ahhh... that pic does things to me I shouldn't ever mention (LOL Ross style - ain't telling nobody! )
  5. oh dear god... that groove in his upper ab - above linea alba, between the median edges of the rib cage... this should be illegal... *faints*
  6. One of my favs - sorry if it was already posted... http://www.metacafe.com/watch/214211/obess...lushing_toilet/
  7. Ah, I felt the same... though we're probably in minority. His longer hair certainly enhanced the rock-god look... but it grows back, you know. May be he just got tired of it, for now.
  8. * "There is a particular kind of pain, elation, loneliness, and terror involved in this kind of madness. When you are high, it is tremendous. The ideas and feelings are fast and frequent like shooting stars and you follow them until you find better and brighter ones. Shyness goes. The right words and gestures are suddenly there. The power to captivate others, a felt certainty. There are interests found in uninteresting people. Feelings of ease, intensity, power, well-being, financial omnipotence and euphoria pervade one’s marrow. But, somewhere this changes. The fast ideas are far too fast and there are far too many. Overwhelming confusion replaces clarity. Memory goes. Humor and absorption on friend’s faces are replaced by fear and concern. Everything previously moving with the grain is now against. You are irritable, angry, frightened, uncontrollable, and almost totally in the black in the caves of the mind. You never knew those caves were there. It will never end. For madness carves it’s own reality. It goes on and on and finally there are only other’s recollections of your behaviors. Your bizarre, frenetic, aimless behaviors. For mania has at least some grace, in partially obliterating memory. What then? After the medications, the psychiatrists, despair, depression and nearly lethal overdose. All those incredible feelings to sort through. Who is being too polite to say what? Who knows what? What did I do? Why? And most hauntingly, when will it happen again? Then too are the bitter reminders. Medicine to take, resent, forget, take, resent and forget. But always to take. Credit cards revoked. Bounced checks to cover. Explanations due at work. Apologies to make. Friendships gone or drained. A ruined marriage. And always, when will it happen again? Which of my feelings are real? Which of the mees is me? The wild, impulsive, chaotic, energetic and crazy one or the shy, withdrawn, desperate, suicidal, doomed and tired one? Probably a bit of both. Hopefully much that is neither. Virginia Wolff in her dives and climbs said it all. "How far do our feelings take their color from the dive underground? I mean, what is the reality of any feeling?" *
  9. LZ box set (was a present though, not quite a purchase...)
  10. Right, the boxed set was my present. When I tore open the gift wrap my husband was on the phone with his Mom. She heard my shrill scream nearby... must have thought I'm a total freak - he didn't bother explaining why I screamed. I just couldn't help it... Sorry to hear about the scratch - good thing you could get another copy!
  11. this is my Valentine's day present... so technically it's yesterday - I'm late 2 hours, still... BEFORE: AFTER
  12. I just got a digital camera... I only used Realist before, which is a film stereo camera. Tell you what, I have better ways to waste my time, so it's a mixed blessing. The camera itself isn't a problem - it's the image editing that gets me. I just can't stop messing with images. I especially like antique and/or surrealistic looks. My latest favorite is color curves. Here's a image ran through the curves several times plus one lighting effect (the oval) - well, it's still me but "adjusted" (it's actually a mirror image - oh and I should have taken that stupid watch off!)
