Day 14

Tooth Fairy Bed & Breakfast. A bed with clean linens, refreshments, a commode: All the furnishings and accoutrements your busy Tooth Fairy could want during a busy nightshift. And a compass, just in case she gets lost.

Zahnfee-Pension. Bett mit frischem Bezug, kleines Vesper, ein WC: Alle Einrichtungen und Ausstattungen, die die fleißigste Zahnfee während der langen Nachtschicht sich wünschen könnte. Auch ein Kompaß, falls sie den Weg vergißt.

Day 13

Can I (should I) wear this outside of the house?

Seriously: Can I?

I'm old. Remember that.

Day 12

Speed Queens and their Ladies-in-Waiting. This transient lady has a message from American Eagle Outfitters for us: "Live Your Life". Carpe diem, people, carpe diem.


I just thought I might add a helpful laundry-mat tip I overheard today: Include brightly colored kinky men's underwear in with your laundry. Nobody will mess with your stuff if they see that flying around in the dryer.

Day 11

I've made this before. No, wait: I made Venice in white voile with a little bit of green. And I made Venice in voile with a little bit of pink. And I made Venice in voile with a little bit of blue. So, no: I hadn't made this before. It's Venice in white voile with a little bit of red.

Well, if you do something you love for someone you love, I suppose a little repetition can be forgiven. It's not the most popular, but this is a skirt I, personally, really like to make.

Zugegeben: Ich hab' bereits so etwas genäht. Nein, warte: Ich habe Venice aus Voiles mit etwas Grün genäht. Und aus Voiles mit etwas Rose genäht. Und aus Voiles mit etwas Blau genäht. Insofern, also noch nicht aus Voiles mit etwas Rot genäht.

Nun, wenn du etwas mit Liebe für jemanden, den du sehr liebst, unternimmst ist doch etwas Wiederholung erlaubt, oder? Ich müsste meine Nählust nämlich für die neuen Farbenmix-Schnitte ankurbeln. Und Venice, zugegeben, der ist nicht der populärste, aber ich nähe ihn leidenschaftlich gerne.

Day 10

Behind the Orange Curtain ...

What's that?

Look ...

Wait ...

That's so cool! A monster in Orange County!

Thank you anonymous OC monster maker!

(What kind of photography do you expect while driving at 75 mph *cough* I mean 65 mph? *cough*)

Day 9

Chillin' with Kiki (Kiki's Delivery Service).

Day 8

For the RAW brand of CompactFlash medium, whatever you do, eject it, before you use it again. Even if you're in a hurry and even if you don't eject the SanDisk brand CompactFlash media every time, because, well, you're human and in a hurry and that still works fine, for RAW, eject it. Don't just pull it from the reader and stuff if in your camera.

Otherwise, it's almost as if the pretty rain pixie never appeared dancing in your backyard yesterday.

I know she did. I saw her. I took a picture of her. The picture might be on this RAW CompactFlash. I may never know. Because the computer can't find her. But, I'll never forget her.
