Albert Fish
Executed January 16, 1936
Rumor has it he shortcircuited the electric chair on the first attempt.

There were 29 needles of different sizes, some rusting away, in his scrotum. Confirmed by X-ray.

No I had visions of the cat feasting on nutella. I am sure he would like it.

NUTELLA!!!

Gave some to my daughter for the first time the other day. Great stuff.

[SneakySnake]

Stuff this for a joke. There are still so many emails in my inbox I can't see them all. I don't feel like doing any more work! I have worked all day and have achieved stuff all. Nothing like putting it all off until tommorrow. Ah shit there goes the inbox again. Plus the fact that my phone has died and the new one hasn't come yet!

Yes this is what I am doing right now!

Ok so there are not that many I counted 37. But I am sure that's more than yesterday, and I have cleared a heap of them.

[recluse]

Okay.

No Nutella.

Chocolate syrup?
Mayo?
Canola oil?

[SneakySnake]

How about I take a dip in a bath of Cherry liqueur dark chocolate? I will bob for the cherries whilst I am in there.

How are the glasses working out?

For some pictures (not suitable for those of sensitive predisposition) only marginally less gruesome than x-rays of needles in scrotums...

No glasses:

Normal glasses:

Sunglasses:

Just glasses by themselves (This photo SFW):

The glasses are good, excellent, though I'm only just getting used to them. It feels odd, dizzying, things not being fuzzy, and having my eyes actually attempt to focus on stuff. Sharpness. As a (hobbyist) photographer, everything looks...real, fascinating, photogenic again.

A photographer, Garry Winogrand, said, "I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs". For me, I responded to that quote reflexively with "I photograph to see what the world looks like". Photos seems to capture things, real things, reality in general, that my mind doesn't. In rare experiences I'm prone to saying things like "That looks real", or "This feels real". Most of the time I feel that whole Shakespearian feeling of just being a "player" on a "stage" - controlled, directed, artificial...and like everything in front of my eyes is just the scrolling of a TV screen. I'm not in touch. Photography gives me that sense of touch, with reality, back. The photos let me hold a moment until I can fully grok it, and then keep returning to it, and saying again, "It feels real".

All of this is a long way of saying that the glasses reduce some of that. Their sharpness makes things feel "real" more often; make them seem fascinating, no matter how quotidian. As Henry Miller said, "The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself". For me, the quotidian, the everyday object, the simple "golden" composition of basic shapes crossing, in photos, can be indescribably beautiful (to me. As for my photos...not necessarily riveting stuff for others). The glasses start to make me feel that in little compositions framed just with my eyes while walking the dogs.

Also, I can read signs better.

Silly Deb!

To be honest, my use of the hammer rarely involves nails. When it comes to home maintenance and repairs and renovations, my skill set is more strongly biased towards the demolition rather than construction side of things.

It's a little Llounge-type humour.

You look scary in your sunglasses!

Your real glasses look like my last pair of prescription sunglasses.

This is what I looked like right after I wore my specs for the last time.
