Underwater with the McCann Brothers


logik graciously invited valerian and I over to gnaw on the seared flesh from the defiled corpses of innocent animals in the green-space beside his apartment building's outdoor pool. I took the opportunity to test my new waterproof camera. Behold the results:



The building as seen from the bottom of the pool. This is not a Photoshop filter simulating looking through water. I was sitting on the bottom of the pool a good six feet under actual water. I will have to get swimming goggles if I am going to do this again. Without goggles I couldn't see the screen worth a damn so composition was mostly guesswork and luck - nonetheless I managed to make a few interesting images.

A New Word has Been Coined



Cynergy: n. When two or more people feed off eachother's cynicism, becoming more cynical as a group than any one individual.

Killing Time

I've got my photography gig tonight that doesn't happen until 7:00. It's in the same building as work so there is utterly no point going home and coming back. I probably wouldn't even make it. Fortunately there is an Irish Pub across the street so I can kill some time with a pint of Kilkenney (it's too muggy out for Guinness) and a plate of bangers and mash.

I'll head back to the office when I'm done and do some work on my website. I need to start getting my store set up.


Flarg. Guh. Meh.



Watch out. It is one of those LiveJournal posts.

Lost in Translation

I was just have a look at my spam filter logs and a particularly badly translated subject line for some pr0n spam made me laugh out loud: "suck my catling".
