•November 22, 2009 • 16 CommentsUgh…I tell ya. I am NOT inspired. I want to do something awesomely creative, but alas…the ideas are not here. They’ve stepped out…please leave a message…beep.
I’ll take this moment to do two things.
(1) Share with you a song… How about this one? Sugar High.
(2) Next, lemme tell you a story about my neighbor, aka, “The Crazy Lady”. I feel amused and slightly annoyed, so I thought I’d share. I live next door to a little old lady who seems nice and innocent if you do NOT live near her. But to us next door, and those living upstairs from her, she is BAD! She once accused our upstairs neighbor of making erotic noises for three hours. She said she had proof as she recorded these noises…IN HER JOURNAL! I would love to see this journal. lol. About two years ago she aggresively harrassed me and my husband. We caught her outside smelling our windows and when she caught sight of us she began screaming that our children stink. We don’t HAVE children. Oh man, it was strange, and we couldn’t calm her so we finally called the police. I know I know, how horrible to call the police on a little old lady. But she is scary. lol. Anyways, the police and property management told her very firmly not to harrass us anymore, and she hasn’t, but after that she hung an air freshner on her front door. You know, one of those little evergreen trees you hang in the car…no joke. I’m always tempted to just yank it off and toss it in the bushes, but I don’t want any trouble. Then today I noticed she has added a SECOND little tree to her door knob! A silent indication that she still believes we have smelly children. Ooooooh ….she’s a nasty little thing. I wish she was one of those nice little old ladies I could bake cookies for, but oh well…at least it’s amusing.
Beach Love

I hope you’re not tired of seeing Fort Point. Now that I know about this place I am totally in love with it. So many possibilities. My sister came up with the idea of doing some jumping so we set the scene and timer and jumped and jumped and jumped. lol. 
Edit: Fine fine, here are a couple outtakes. lol. Getting the timing right was soooo hard. Most of our pics were with us *almost* jumping, or just landing. lol. In the second outtake, my sister wanted to jump a distance behind me. But for some reason the sense of depth is rather lost and she just looks real tiny…almost as if I’m jumping with my mini me. lol
Camera Obscura

My sis and I just got back from exploring Fort Point under the Golden Gate Bridge. This room was very dark with one tiny window. The window was opaque but with a broken hole in the center where light was pouring in from. Outside stood the Bridge. A nice gentleman pointed out to us that the room acted like a camera obscura, casting light in the image of the bridge across the room. It could hardly be seen with the naked eye, but with a long exposure the scene came to life!
Bejeweled…

It looks like we are going to have a wet winter here which is awesome considering all the dry years and fires we have had…bring on the rain! Well, bring it on in moderation…we’re not used to this wet stuff and we certainly could do without mudslides…
