MOO is coming

Pop Dots, originally uploaded by JayKulpa.

I have a gallery up over at the Jayboy Mansion of the images I picked to put on my new Moo calling cards, which shipped from London today. I'm so excited! They'll possibly be here by the end of the week, beginning of next. I'll put up scans when they get here.

I want Grandmommy to pick me up

My great drive to clean off the hard drive continues... My niece's first birthday party from July 2007 are over at The Jayboy Mansion. Check 'em out!

A terrible name for a beer...

When you think of Athens, you think of the word "Hoegaarden", originally uploaded by JayKulpa.

...and by "Terrible" I mean "FanFrickinTastic!"

Summing up Saturday afternoon in Athens

Posted some pictures from my August trip to Athens over at The Jayboy Mansion. Check 'em out.

Photos from Phoenix

I finally posted my pictures from my Labor Day trip to Phoenix over at The Jayboy Mansion. I'll be editing them all weekend, so the quicker you look, the more embarassing blurry shots and multi-chin angles you're likely to see!

Posting a few odds and ends to The Jayboy Mansion on Flickr this weekend. Come over and check 'em out.

Lillies in August

Another set up at The Jayboy Mansion. This time it's shots from an August weekend in Columbus, catching the lovely installation of giant Lilypads in the Goodale Park pond.

Will you marry me?

There'll be new updates of long-delayed pictures going up at The Jayboy Mansion all day. I invite you to check them out.

How much is that moustache in the window?

Uploading a few odds and ends to The Jayboy Mansion this weekend, including art around town and more of my weird hair obsession... check it out.

I've got my own little hair club going on...

It's a dirty little secret of mine that I'm more vain than I let on to (not that you'd know it by posting this picture). Like most people, sometimes I use my cell phone and take a picture of myself to check out how my hair is doing. I've also used it to check if there's anything between my teetn.

Lately, the results have been cracking me up. Inadvertant funny faces or lousy hair... anyhow, I've started -and will continue to -post some of the more enjoyable pictures over at The Jayboy Mansion. Check it out.

Hey, remember me?

"Hey, remember me? It's me, your blog... which you used to love and now
neglect and pay no attention to... you need to come blog on me or I'm going to
start soliciting other writers..."

Well, as you can see I have been "oot and aboot" for awhile. This weekend I'll get photos up at the Jayboy Mansion from my fab trips to Athens, Ohio and Phoenix, Arizona... and hopefully get caught up on some sleep and some posting.

The best part about jet lag isn't the two mornings of totally screwed up sleep, but that second afternoon... when you're so tired and out of whack that you feel like you took a really big Ativan.

If I was always this unflappable yet totally efficient and effective at work, I'd have conquered the world by now.

Sadly, that just might be the best endorsement for Anti-Anxiety meds you will ever see...

Sedentary Centenary

Well, it's my centenary, this makes post number 100. I've got some notes to put up on the joy that was the trip to Chicago (it really IS my kind of town), Pitchfork, pictures, and all kinds of odds and ends... stay tuned .

In brief, I had a fabulous time. Really great. I got to see great old friends, make a few new ones, and catch lots of music. We had beer and festival food and got some sun. I saw a Tiffany Dome and had a Bloody Mary made out of beer. By Sunday I knew which train I needed to take.

I have to admit it was kind of disappointing to come back from the festival... the ride into seeing the Cincinnati skyline is just a tad unimpressive after leaving behind Chicago's. No offense... but Cincy just isn't working hard enough for me to make up for what it lacks in size.

Anyhow, I only have a 3 day layover here before I jaunt off to Orlando, so I hope to get my notes here and some photos up over at The Jayboy Mansion. These things just take time and I don't know how much of it I'll have free.

One of the best things about a music festival, though, is the music. I rediscovered Missions of Burma and Public Enemy, and got tastes of new faves like !!!, Dizzie Rascal, and The Hold Steady.

Eighty Five

Between June 6th and July 6th I put up 84 posts on here and have kept myself entertained. I'm having a great time and thank you for joining me.

That said, I'm taking the day off and will be back tomorrow with some odds and ends (and more edited pictures over at The Jayboy Mansion).

More'n the fire's hot

I've gotten the 4th of July Hoffner park night pictures up over at The Jayboy Mansion. They're about half tagged and I'm not done editing... but worth a look-see.

In other news, wish me luck. Monday starts the DIET. I'm taking Nala up on his challenge -cum-dare to try and shake 40 lbs off by Labor Day. I don't expect to lose the whole 40 - hell, I'm not even sure where I'm starting as my scale is either a) busted, or b) doesn't go up that high...

I'll be using South Beach as a guide (I did so well on Atkins, but fell back in love with my sugars) and I'm recommitting to my treadmill. We'll go from there. Keep me honest.

Attentions and Details

I've also started a set for all the fun and "Fiddled-with" pictures that make me happy over at The Jayboy Mansion. Check it out, becasue it'll change from time to time.

Happy 4th!

My Northside 4th of July Parade pictures are up over at The Jayboy Mansion. Check 'em out!

Dampness Marched On

Well, the rain was a constant drizzle, but the Northside 4th of July parade happened! Another success! I do love the "DIY" ethic of the Northside parade... I bet the rain kept some groups home, but it was still a good 50 minutes of marching fun.

Sadly, my camera's battery died, but it was toward the end of the parade, right after my friends in GLSEN went by, so I got lots of good stuff. My aim is to get the pictures up of my Flickr page by the end of the weekend... but I have to charge the battery first.

Now, my damp, drizzled on self needs to dry off and rustle up some food...

Yay! They didn't drop our asses!

Lunch is Fattening

Lunch is Fattening, originally uploaded by JayKulpa.

I thought this was going to be a diet-friendly sandwich. "Cold cuts, how bad could they be for you?"

The whole sandwich - 1070 calories. 450 from fat.
With the chips? - 1220 calories, 510 from fat.

1220 calories. Before I added the damned Dr. Pepper...

No wonder people hate to diet! Evil hides everywhere!

Again with the "Better Late Than Nevers"

I just put up my pictures from the 2007 Northside 4th of July parade over at The Jayboy Mansion. As I just captioned 252 pictures with cute titles, the least you can do is go look at it!
