September

I've been learning about photography, I'm taking it slow. Took my first class in December, which means I kind of know how to shoot in manual mode. Anyway, I thought I should start posting photos, my goal is at least one a month but we shall see. Due to popular demand we will do some time travel and start with September.

All photos are straight from my camera because I am a purist. And I don't own photo editing software.

Both of these are from a wall of graffiti located on that odd side street which runs diagonal between Barrington and Pico in WLA. The wall has since been torn down which means officially that I am a documentarian!

The Nerve!

I have a pinched sciatic nerve. It has happened before and probably will again, it's not fun. This time I have a constant dull aching pain with some numbness and tingling that goes all the way from my lower back to my left foot. Sitting for long periods is a pain. Which means work = pain. A phenomena not unique to my situation.

All this to say I visited my local drug dealer and found some delights.

Holy Crash Test Dummies, my co-workers have a sense of humor.

You are what you are. Own it.

The Creation of Cybersex

The other night I got together with a group of friends to watch the original Tron. I was excited to finally re-watch this iconic film. I have a distinct memory of watching it on VHS with my older brother at our next door neighbors house and quite frankly being bored. To be fair the film wasn't intended for the 5-6 year old girl crowd, I was probably pissed there weren't bears or ponies. "Where are my Care Bear Stares dammit!" *Side note did you know that the Care Bears were originally created for use on greeting cards by American Greetings? Fascinating. **Double side note, I also remember going to the local video store (no Blockbuster than, or for that matter now, folks) and seeing the Care Bear Movie resting on a high shelf bathed in a celestial florescent light with its siren call, "Rent me. Rent me. RENT ME. I will change your life." I snatched it up and then waited impatiently for my father to rent a VHS player.

Back to Tron, beyond my memory of watching it the only thing I remembered of the actual film were colored lines chasing across the screen. So yeah I was excited to refresh my memory.

The film's not that good, turns out I was a wise 5 year old. BUT there are some golden moments such as the deleted scene found below. Which I dub the creation of cybersex. That's right I said it, DISNEY CREATED CYBERSEX. You read it here first people.
