Not In Aussie’s World

this image gives the illusion of nudity

I finally finished the male body I was doing. That took long enough, my goodness. It usually takes me no more than half a day but this stupid thing took 3 days. It’s called Tribulation. You can’t see any body “parts” on the image but if there is even a hint of nudity I’ll always make the picture thumbnail size. If you want to see a larger view click the pic and you’ll be directed to that entry on the art blog. Now, onto other things…….

There are two things that won’t be in Aussie’s world- therapy twice a week & rude dollar store workers.

Therapy– I can’t do therapy twice a week. My goodness I feel like I’ve been through the ringer. Twice a week is too much. I didn’t have the guts to tell him that Tuesday but tomorrow is the day. I have to tell him or I’ll spend the rest of my time at home with fybro flare ups and a body beaten down. I can not do this. I feel like crap. You could bounce a quarter off my muscles they’re so tight.

Rude $ store worker– I decided not to speak to that workers supervisor but directly to him. I intend to tell him very kindly that when I’m in that store he is to pretend I’m not that way we don’t have to go to his supervisor. The guy needs a job and I understand that but I won’t switch stores just because he’s there. So, Friday when I pop in there I’ll address that situation. It’s crazy to think I once took clonapin to manage his presence. That’s crazy. So, Friday I’ll speak to him and see if we can’t straighten this thing out. I plan to put it away after that. The next move is on him. I’d suggest he comply…it’s just a suggestion but a good one I think. Calling me trash, oh I got your trash for you…sure do. No, I won’t be ghetto when I talk to him or even aggressive but he’ll get the point. No long winded explanations just a simple statement ending with a click of the heals and a clear view of my backside walking away.

Onto more important stuff—I feel like I’ve neglected people. I haven’t really been around that much and when I have been it’s been hit and miss. I’ve answered so few emails it’s pitiful. I suppose I’ll be back around soon. I’ve gotta hit the sheets.

Ode To The Cam

There’s a new digital cam in town, well, there will be in two months anyway. I found a Polaroid at Wally World that will go in the layaway on the 3rd when I get my pennies from the government. I feel so stifled without a camera. It was my therapy, an art tool, fun and games. I was attached to that thing and truthfully it did quite well for quite some time. Like all good cams, it had to go into digital arrest. I tried artificial resuscitation (I changed the batteries to brand new rechargeable ones) but despite all my efforts it couldn’t be revived. That was several months ago. I’ve tried to move on but it’s slow, a process I guess. In order to move on I’ve decided to put a new cam in the layaway. I’ll put down half this month and get it out next month. I look forward to it. Video with voice in either MPEG-4 or AVI, nice mega pixels at 5.1, and it shoots in colour, as well as negative, black & white, sepia, mosaic, blue, green and red. Now, there are better cams out there with functions that others desire over the different types of images you can shoot but this one seems to fit me well. I can’t say I’m disappointed about having the shutter open as little as 1/2000 second and as long as 8 full seconds. I’m sooooo going to love this especially at $99.87.

I have an anniversary coming up. My Independence Day is February 2nd so I don’t feel so badly about putting half down. I can call it an Indy Day present to myself. So no longer will I visit blogs such as Velvet Sacks and Life at Stars Rest and see photos and weep. No more…well, I mean more for two months but after that I shall again post photos. I’ve missed so much record keeping of Bella growing up. I feel almost lost without a cam. Like I said, it was therapy, it was for art work and for fun. I miss it. It’s been too long. Two months isn’t that much longer to wait, not when I know what it is I’m waiting for. Yippee for me!
