What up, all my ppls! I’m totally relaxed now. I am mostly moved into my new place; it’s completely grand like you wouldn’t believe. I love, love, LOVE it. I am lovin life right now.

I don’t really get into when ppl spell love, ‘luv’. What’s that all about? I don’t think I ever went through a phase when I did that.

But I am so incredibly happy. I am well rested. I had the day off yesterday, & relaxed, & worked hard, & then relaxed some mo’. I came into work this morn & my boss was like, “How was your day off?”. And my reply was some of what I said above, & then I said:
“I feel like I am ready to battle elephants”

To which he just laughed. Then I realized that I don’t want anyone to get the impression that I might actually be ready to battle elephants, so I added:
“Not that I want to battle elephants, b/c I don’t.”

So, I don’t think anyone’s gonna put me on elephant-battlin duty today. phew. That was a close call. Lesson: You really gotta watch what you say in life, or ppl might take you up on it.

PhotoFriday: Texture

Posted on by yllwdaisies

Ok, remember when I went to Cali last October? Well, I did. And I said I’d post about it all, & of course never followed through. I will though. I said I would, & I will. I never said when I’d do it, so there!

Anyway, this past PhotoFriday challenge is ‘texture’. I was instantly reminded of my visit to the Getty Center in LA. Here’s a pic I took just after dusk, outside the main entrance to the museum. It’s right in front of the tram stop. If y’all have never been to the Getty Center/Museum, you MUST go. I kid you not. I loved it (more than the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, & that one relates to the Mixed of Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler). I could seriously live at the Getty Center. For reals. The place is so chills.

So, here’s my texture pic from the Getty:As usual, you can click on the pic to see it enlarged at my flickr site. And to see other’s contributions to PhotoFriday, click on this.

PhotoFriday: Strange

Posted on by yllwdaisies

Can you tell I’m such a procrastinator. I have a ton to do, & it’s not like I don’t want to do it, I desperately need to find a new place asap. I just don’t feel like making a bunch of phone calls. And my mind wanders, & I was wondering what the PhotoFriday challenge was for this week, cause in all honesty, I haven’t even checked up on them ever since I thought they started putting up lame challenges way back last Fall. So, I stopped participating.

But this week’s challenge is “Strange”, & it made me think of these trees I saw in Phoenix when I was there last September. Take a look:It’s kinda strange, but mainly just weird. My cousin & I went out to lunch at this yummy place (forget the name), & in the parking lot were all these trees. A LOT of them had these weird, un-natural shaped trunks. I mean, it’s un-natural right? No normal trees grow this way. This was definitely man-altered right?

You can click on the pic to see it enlarged & in all it’s glory. And as usual, you can click here to see other PhotoFriday submissions in the link-viewer.

can we get some adults up in here?

WHAT IS GOING ON?!? Ok, I really don’t have the time to be blogging/posting, but seriously ppl, can’t everyone behave whilst I gotta get my stuff done?

In the House, we’ve got one Representative calling his colleague a whore. Ok, dude, you do realize that if you’ve gotten anywhere in the political arena, you got there by being a whore. So, Rep. Joe Baca (CA – Dem.), you’re a whore too. It takes one to know one. I’ve decided to use phrases that these 5-year olds can relate to. And lil chica, you don’t have to be a baby.

I’ve definitely been called way worse than a whore in my life, & it never made me quit anything. In all honesty, it didn’t impact me in any way. The only time when anything anyone says really gets to me is if that person means something special to me in the first place. And in those situations, they would prob use some sense of decorum to illustrate whatever they were getting at, b/c they most likely care about me too.

And GEEZ-LOUISE, Biden. Are you for real? I’m still not over when you pissed me off last July. Now, Joe’s talking about how great it is that this African-American can speak properly, cleans up well, & showers regularly. Ok, so that’s not exactly what he said. But I think it’s preposterous that he says that he says this is the 1st African-American in the public eye like this. It’s just the beginning of Black History Month, so I can’t wait to see everyone explode over this.

In other news, I’m totally gonna admit something to y’all. Sometimes, I notice little details in movies & stuff. Like I’ll complement the furniture in a scene, I always notice the music, & I’ll notice an outfit or something totally superficial like that. Well, sometimes I don’t notice the most obvious of things. Like, looking through the mag rack, I noticed that Barrack Obama was on the cover of Ebony magazine w/ his wife. I was like, oh that’s nice, a guy & his wife on the cover looking like they care about each other. I like to see couples that can still get along after years & years. It caught my eye b/c normally they only put black/African-American ppl on the cover of Ebony. So, I stopped to look at it closer & got that “oooohhhh” moment. You see, I didn’t realize that Monsieur Obama was black (I always thought he was Persian). I knew Michelle was, I just thought they were in an interracial marriage. So, sometimes I just don’t notice the extreme obvious.
