Without you, life is like a dead amusement park. Dull and sad.

what would it be?
Would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him and all His glory
What would you ask, if you had just one question?
So, this question is inspired by the song, which the above quotes, but I'm curious, if you came face-to-face with God, if somehow, all those looney Christians, or Jews, or Muslims or *enter looney religion here* were right, and God, the Tri-Omni type of God, showed up, and you could ask just one question, what would it be?
I'd prolly go with the question asked in Dogma "Why are we here?" But that's just me. I'm interested in hearing your voice, so speak up, brothers and sisters.
Nothing too amazing. Just the toiletries dictating. That's all.
Some of the fabrics were really difficult to work with, so I expected a much shoddier product. I'm pleased with the result It's masculine and kind of homey and cozy, all things I think the recipient was hoping for. She loved it!

Last winter I started weaving beaded flowers of different colours. Occasionally I invented a new type of weaving beaded rosettes and called it Bysantine rosette. It was so fascinating for me, that I wove of about twenty rosettes to try different colour combinations, but did not know what to do with them: make necklases? pendants? An idea sparkled suddenly - rings!
So, here is one of the rings, I called it "Bysantine" for its colours look this way for me.
I have a small problem that i am not sure how to handle.
I recently moved into a new apartment, and its fantastic. Except for one thing. Sometimes, in the master bathroom there is a very strong distinct smell of cigarette smoke. Neither my boyfriend or I smoke, so its not us. Sometimes the smell is so strong that it ventures out into the rest of the apartment. Its obviously not a pleasant smell, its it affects my breathing sometimes. We have a fan in the bathroom, and i assume thats where it comes from,but its not one that can be turned on and off, they wired it together with the lights.
So, how would i go about remedying this problem? These arent non smoking apartments (is there such a thing?) so i cant really tell the neighbors to stop smoking up there. But is there anyway to keep the smell in their apartment?
thanks!
Great article from the NY Times on suicide and the urges that come over people to end it.
Talked to the American Studies Admin today. That lady is awesome and very helpful. She helped explain some financial aid stuff that leaves me feeling a lot less stressed.
I sold my car last night as well as my dresser. All I have left to sell is my bed.
I had a check-up with my surgeon today. He said everything looks great and I am now free to do anything I want. So tonight I went to yoga for the first time in a month.
My parents are having a party/get-together when I go home. A few years back my anxiety would've caused me to hate the idea of going to something like that, but now I'm excited about it. It's mainly a chance to catch up with a bunch of family friends that my sister and I haven't seen in a while, but let's be honest: Samuel will be the real star of things.
I love this kid.

What are your best carrot ideas?
Help? Please? Thanks!
Okay, so I'm sure we've all seen the tutorials of using contact paper to make easy to do/remove wall art lately. If not, the intractable is here. I know threadbanger did a decor it yourself video on it as well.
I've been wanting to do this for months, but I'd either forget about it or couldn't find contact paper. I seriously had the biggest problem with it. Michael's finally had it, if anyone else is wondering.

...and absent any further ado--
My name's Jeff. I use an ActionSampler to confound my local photo-finishing lab and to take pictures of cars passing me on the freeway.
I'd really love to downgrade to a Lomo LCA or similar and...to that end...
I have the following I'd be willing to trade for for a LCA/LCA+ and goodies. It is a gently-used Fuji (well, Fujica, but Fujifilm made it) 35 MM SLR. It comes with three lenses: a multi-purpose regular old lens (well, that's what I use it for; the number stuff on it says "1:2.2, f=55mm), a telefoto (telephoto? 1:2.8, f=135mm), and a wide-angle (1:3.5, f=28mm, this one techincally "has" a lens cap, but it's really too big for the lens, but the WA/normal use the same size for when the WA"s equipped). It also comes with a bracket that I am uncertain of the use for. I'm also not real sure just how to tell the...range? Like how some listings on Ebay have #/# or 70-300 on them. Yeah, I have no idea. I can upload pics later if someone can help me "read" my lens.
To sweeten the deal, I'll throw in a four-pack of 400 color film (new stuff, though, none of Lomo dot com's fun stuff).
The camera itself should undergo a professional cleaning (and the cases for the lenses might need a quick rubdown too) for the simple reason that the bag this particular camera was stored in has foam rubber stuff that's disintegrating. Ew. Other than that, it works great (just replaced its light-meter/brain battery within the last two years). The lenses haven't really been used by me other than to make sure they were compatible and, you know, not busted. The TF/WA lenses have their own case/bag and lens cap.
The camera body has settings for 25-3200 shutter speed, a self-timer with a most-satisfying warning beep, focus finder, standard hotshoe/screw-lens opening. You can do long-exposure stuff with it too.
Poking around Ebay, I saw the body for a very wishful-thinking 100 US or so, but like I said, I would much rather do a straight swap. Similar lenses are going for, approximately:
-- WIDE: $5-100
-- TELEFOTO: about $20
-- "NORMAL" no listings! Bad ebay! Bad!
Wishlist for the swap is pretty basic:
-- LCA/LCA+ camera or even a Holga
-- some kind of flash
-- any other goodies for the LCA/+ you might have and be willing to part with.
So, if you're reading this, and it sounds like a fantastic step-up for your shooting, comment, LJ message, or email me (see the fake link on my page at the left, linked thusly)
Thanks!
I was moody and brooding all over the holiday weekend, what with my friends out of town, and the pre-menses syndrome that was taking a toll on my thought processes.
things are about to hit the fan in my life, and this is why:
-the mural arts class ends July 24th. I gotta get these kids to work together and finish these murals. the 7th and 8th graders are a dream. the 5th and 6th graders are sweet, but have no attention span and don't seem to be interested in painting anything except for stuff they see on the television. and graffiti writing. words like "da' bomb". it can get a bit frustrating.
-job coincides with paycheck. and whenever there is more than 300 dollars in my account after i pay rent, i think of getting a plane ticket to anywhere. so isaac and i got tickets to mexico for three weeks and we are leaving July 27th. and coming back to chicago August 17th.
THAT means:
-i have to move all my shit outta my apartment before I leave. what's the point of paying rent for august if i'm only going to be there a week? because: i get back in town the 17th of august, then the 25th of august i'm on a plane with a one-way ticket to New York City.
-i have to get all of my artwork finished by the 25th of july for my art show at Mestizo. i am not good at finishing art. it takes me a year to finish a painting. this is ging to be a challenge that i think I am willing to accept? still not sure.
-have to save some dollaz for mexico so i'm not sleepin' in the barrio.
uh, then i'm starting graduate school? what the fuck?

but any binding in general.

does anyone have a movie stub from ironman on may 3rd at a 730ish showing? i desperately need this for a scrapbook, and i lost mine! i know a lot of people hang onto stubs, including me, so i would really appreciate it if you had one that i could take it off your hands for you :]
