I spent my holiday Monday taking pictures of this lady. Such a difficult life I lead.

Saturday night
Women in outfits that consist primarily of black leather cargo nets. Men in corsets and dog collars. A lady next to me — with blue and white bobbed hair — wearing a corset over top of a tiny, ripped t-shirt, and black fishnet stockings. Discussions about internet access in churches, Continue Reading

Love this shot
I have no doubt I am being greatly biased by my wonderful memories of Friday night, but… I really like this kind of picture. Reasonably good quality. Highly dynamic. High Contrast. Capturing a very specific, unique moment. And it never would have looked this good on my previous camera. There Continue Reading

worried about drinking
When I didn’t drink, I would write about how people who did drink reacted strangely to it. Now I do drink, and I am concerned when I write about it because I get non-drinkers who seem to be worried about me getting drunk. *shrug* Of course I’m more likely to Continue Reading

Financial Status
Did my taxes today. Took less time than expected. Only major issue was figuring out where to include my Franchise Tax payments. (Since TurboTax changes it every year). Turns out it just basically went under “taxes, misc”. So I billed roughly the same this year as the previous year. But Continue Reading

Still sticking with variations on the whole “Rum and Coke” theme, when all else fails. This weekend was mildly adventurous. I don’t know how many new drinks I ended up trying. Continue Reading

KoolAid
Walked past the Chinatown subway exit on my way to a store on the same block. Went in, found what I wanted right away. I paid and left. Walked back towards the metro. People were crowded around. But there was a guy playing Caribbean music, so i just figured he Continue Reading

Navicat
I think I love Navicat. I have used it as a desktop-based, graphical user interface for various databases. It can handle MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle databases. Has every conceivable option for connecting to said databases. (Most of my clients’ only allow for local access: no problem. VPNs? Secure servers? no Continue Reading

Dupont Circle
When I moved to DC back in the late 90s, I wanted to live in Dupont Circle. Nothing really shocking about that. You ask any young white person back then where was somewhere cool to live, and you can be sure that would be the first place off their lips. Continue Reading

oops
you gotta love the world sometimes. I send my client proofs over a year ago for some new letterhead. It has been discussed a couple times since then, but nothing was ever finalized. So I just sit on it, and will bill it when it’s done someday. Today, one of Continue Reading

no i.d. for you
must kill someone. jesus. I have always thought it incredibly stupid how every building wants you to sign in unless you work or live there. There’s absolutely no security value to it.* Even if I didn’t go to the mental effort of giving a fake name, it’s not going to Continue Reading
