Iced cinnamony sweet rice milk. Nectar of the gods! *happy sigh* Wish I had some right now.

NEW STORES! COOL STUFFS!

I've started setting up some online stores. There's still a lot of things I need to put up there, but there's enough now to open the e-doors, I think.

My store is http://www.cafepress.com/leisl - buttons, bags, magnets, etc.

Brian's store is http://www.cafepress.com/bonell - calendars, boxes, whatnots, etc.

And last, but certainly not the least - You can now purchase framed prints from Bonell Photography at http://www.cafepress.com/bonellphotog!


SPREAD THE WORD! SPREAD THE JOY!

Kanye West

... is an asshole!


A benefit concert for the purpose of raising money to help the Red Cross save lives is neither the time nor the place to spout political hogwash of any sort.

Hemmorhoids ...

... and the people who ARE them. Grrr.

We (actually, my husband) are taking photos of a local production of an overdone musical at an extemely discounted rate and an immense amount of personal inconvenience. Still, people in the cast expect us to cater to their whims & reschedule what is already set & reset to fit their individual vanity. i.e. the mother who shows up 45 minutes late to the scheduled shoot & is upset because we won't/can't reschedule all 30 of the kids who did show up so her daughter can be in the photo; the director who not only forgets to let the cast know when headshots were scheduled by the producer, but followed it up by saying to the photographer that he didn't feel photos - PR or otherwise - were important; the man who, when informed of the time for cast photos, threw a snit because he'd be too tired & sweaty from the performance. Get some antiperspirant, Diva Butthead!


(I'm cranky today. Deal. It's my blog.)

CELL PHONE USERS

For heaven's sake, use some discretion! Or at the very least, common courtesy. Turn off your phone during weddings, funerals, etc & just let your voice mail pick it up. Do not ... I repeat, DO NOT stand up & start talking on your cell phone just as the clergy is introducing your son and his new bride to the audience as Mr. and Mrs. for the very first time & then walk yourself down the aisle in front of them unaware of anything going on around you. Be aware ... be considerate. You really don't have to take that call right then. It can wait. Really ... it can.

PHOTOGRAPHY

My newest hobby. It's actually a lot of fun. I started taking photos this past Christmas. I'm pretty sure I'm breaking all kinds of rules, but since I don't know what I'm doing I'm pretty sure I can get away with it. For now. 'Sides, I think some of it's turned out pretty cool. (see evidence at www.leisl.blogspot.com)

SLEEP

I miss it.

STARLINGS

Horrible, dirty, noisy, ugly, rotten birds! They ate the doves' eggs. And they don't sing, they squawk ... a LOT! I do not like them. Not one bit.

SPAMALOT

Funniest cast recording I've heard in ages! I'm listening & laughing & dancing & giggling ...

WEATHER BUG

What an annoying little program - always popping & beeping & ... well ... bugging me. Grrrrrrr. *grumpy face*

RUSSIAN OLIVE TREE

My neighbor has a Russian olive tree right next to our property line. It's a beautiful little tree and it smells so yummy - kinda like hyacinths. BUT, the darned thing gives me such a sinus headache when it's in bloom.
My opinion on this remains undecided.

HEARTBURN

God's little way of reminding you that you really shouldn't have eaten that.

DONUT HOLES

Those little things are of the devil! OF THE DEVIL! Little bite sized balls of fat & calories, so easy to just pop into your mouth with noone being the wiser. Evil little things. Now, I have to go & eat them all just to get them out of my house. ;-)

DAFFODILS

Daffodils are such happy flowers! Or maybe they just make me happy, being all Spring-like and all. Just seeing them makes me smile.

TEENAGERS

Ummmmmm...................

GREEK FOOD AND THE SPANISH LANGUAGE

I like them both so much that if I ever record an album it's title will be Comida de Griego.

BENEDICT XVI

The new Pope kinda creeps me out. He looks like how I've always imagined the Popes of the Inquisitions to have looked. Yikes!

PEANUT BUTTER

Sticky yummy taste of heaven. :-)

ORANGE

The color. I don't like it. Something about it just pisses me off.

CHOCOLATE PREFERENCE

Dark. Loves the dark chocolate!

MORRISEY

He sounds like chest toupees, smokey hotel bars & cheap liquor.

ALABAMA 3

Not the country band Alabama. I'm talking 'bout the sensationally fabulous rockin' blues acid trance groovin' funky-chit of the UK's Alabama 3. The BEST band around today! (http://www.alabama3.co.uk) Check 'em out for yourself. Goosebumply good schtuff!

MUSHROOMS

I won't eat anything related - even remotely - to athlete's foot. Fungus ... eew!

SPRING

Love it! Spring is my most favorite season of all. The world coming back to life after a long, cold winter. Birds, flowers, trees leafing out ... *sigh!* I love Spring!
