So Sophie tonight tells me that she finally saw who Rachel Ray is at Borders Books.
I said "Oh, so you've met my TV girlfriend, eh?", to which she replied "Yeah, your freebie. Of course for each freebie you get, I get two." I love that girl.

Speaking of... I let slip the "L" word a few days ago, and I couldn't be happier about it. It's so energizing to say it... freeing, even. (Chickpea, feel free to barf all over your keyboard)

I've always had this fantasy ever since I was a kid: I wish I had this little magical calculator that I could ask any statistic of, like looking at an old fan and wondering how many revolutions its blades had made in its lifetime. I'd ask it things like how many people in the world at this very moment are eating marshmallows, or fucking, or being born, or brushing their teeth, or crying. Maybe I'd ask it how many atoms are in a particular object, or molecules in a drop of water, and the calculator would instantly produce that number. I'd look at a farmer's field of hundreds of acres and wonder how many ants were in its soil, or how many individual crop plants it had ever produced.
I was a weird little kid.

My hard drive just started furiously accessing. I hate when it does that for no apparent reason.

While perusing the knick-knacks and paddy-whacks at the local Salvation Army store, I spied a camera with four lenses in a row, like this: OOOO I figured, for a dollar I'd buy it now and learn what it did later. Turns out it's a 3D camera that takes regular everyday 35mm film. Problem is, I have to send the film to a lab in Canada to make the prints. Mucho dinero. BUT! But, but, but... I instantly thought to myself "Self, this may be a great money making opportunity! Why not sell 3D postcards of local landmarks?", upon which I promptly congratulated myself and then set about walking around town taking pictures on this gorgeous (but hotter than toast) day. I was sweating like a whore in church. Wish me luck!

I didn't know there was such as thing as a 3D camera. I always thought that there were multiple images imposed on top of each other to give the impression of depth.
Who knew?
Oh think of the fun you can have with a 3D camera!
Oh yeah and Andy used the "L" word!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!
The only thing that will make me vomit about that post is Rachel Ray. She's officially annoyed the fuck out of me.
Ok but I might also make a comment that damn you are leaping into this love thing. You've known each other what? 2 months?
Too bad it's so damned expensive to have 3d images printed. :-( About the Love thing... it just felt right. Sure, it seems a tad early, but it just felt right. Again, I was resisting because of the whole timeframe thing, but my gut was screaming, "Say it, you fool!!"
Oh, Shutterbug, I have a site for you if you haven't already found it: Rachael Ray Sucks. :-)
