In Just Once Sentence

In Just Once Sentence, a photo by hbmike2000 on Flickr.

TRUE! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? - Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart

First, stop saying because you can see my photostream. Rude.

Second, the opening line to Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart is one of the best opening lines ever written. In one dark, moody, glorious question you are dragged down into the hellish madness of the narrator's story. You read through the written word on the page, holding your breath, afraid to continue, but you do. You read all the way to the end, finally finishing just as the clock flips to midnight. You set the book down and reach over to the table lamp next to the bed, hesitating. Click. The lights go off and the shadows come out and dance across the walls. You hide under the covers to no avail. The sound of a beating heart plays in your ears. It gets louder! louder! louder! LOUDER!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry, I scared myself again.

It's so life like. It's even 3D without the glasses! Now if I can just figure out how to hang it on the wall without bringing all those rocks in the house I will be styling.

Right Now, I Have That Same Look

Right Now, I Have That Same Look, a photo by hbmike2000 on Flickr.

Yeppers, Full on bliss and standing on my head with tears in my eyes. (which makes it difficult to type by the way). July 5th my computer crashed, it wouldn't come up at all. I finally got a 15 year old hand me down, got it set up and between the 15 minutes of down time between each click, set out to take some photos. After a few clicks I was happy with the shot and ran back to the computer only to find it HAS NO SLOTS for the camera's card! I cried a little. Fine, I rolled across the floor like a big baby crying "WHY ME!" I gave up.

Then, two days ago, for no apparent reason, a plugged the old computer back up and the stupid thing came on. I shut everything off, hooked up the mouse and keyboard, turned it back on ... nothing. You guessed it, I was back on the floor rolling around crying "WHY ME!" once again. (by the way, it's a good way to pick up all the cat hair down there, I was a fluff ball by the time I got back up)

So today, I came home, turned it on, held my breath, passed out, came too and there it was, on and working.

I guess it's back to vacuuming up the cat hair now.
