Wednesday Favorites
favorite things 9: skygazing
It’s Tuesday, so maybe I should stop referring to this occasional series as “Wednesday Favorites,” I don’t know. Whatever. Let’s do this. Is there anyone who doesn’t really love looking at the sky? It’s always beautiful, always changing, excepting perhaps days like today when it appears as a soft, flat gray — will it be … Continue reading
favorite things 8: my grandmother
That’s an old photo, but taking any sort of photos of my grandmother that have any level of honesty to them and aren’t so very “Say cheese!” is incredibly difficult. In short, I figure I get a pass. I typically write these on Wednesdays, but I didn’t get around to it yesterday, so here we … Continue reading
favorite things 7: my name
When I was a kid, I hated my name for two reasons: 1. Everybody said it wrong, and 2. It embarrassed me. I’ve already covered the first part, the pronunciation issue, with a video. And thanks to a phone call I had yesterday, I can add a new one to the list of increasingly hilarious … Continue reading
favorite things 6: sweet pea
(There is, of course, the story of how and why I adopted Sweet Pea, but I’m going in a different direction with this today.) Sweet Pea is my dog. She’s a border collie. There is a possibility that she is some kind of mix, but as I’ve gotten to know her better and as I’ve … Continue reading
favorite things 5: strawberries
I was always a very picky eater. I mean, I still am, to a degree, though I’m way less picky than I used to be, mainly because over time, I’ve made myself eat and evaluate food I believed was vile. (Yeah I passed judgment on food without ever actually tasting it, but I think that’s … Continue reading
favorite things 4: superman ice cream
As noted in the Flickr photo description: Okay so this picture makes me look at least slightly insane, but you should be used to that from me by now. Indeed. Anyway, here’s the thing. I love Superman ice cream. It’s been my favorite pretty much all my life. It’s a strange thing to talk about … Continue reading
favorite things 3: standing on things and taking photos
The title of this post is perhaps a bit deceptive, because I think this is going to end up being about more than standing on things and taking photos, but let’s see where it goes, okay? When my interest in photography became more than just a way to record that yep, I was somewhere or … Continue reading
favorite things 2: books
I write about books enough that it is obvious for me to choose them as one of my favorite things to write about here; it’s along the lines of “Oh, you like books? Duh.” I think the thing is, though, that for me, loving books is about more than appreciating writing or enjoying reading. I … Continue reading
favorite things 1: gerbera daisies and not wearing shoes
(Click the photo to find out what this is all about. Also, um, hi. I’m resurrecting my blog for real.) It’s an old joke, one that you’ve probably read here once upon a time, and it is that since one half of my family is from Yemen and the other half of my family is … Continue reading
