(might as well) JUMP! – redux
Untitled Originally uploaded by • peyote. Last year I set up a group on flickr dedicated to my love of jump photography. We currently stand at 116 members, with multiple updates to the photo pool every day (current total 412). This is still a small group by flickr standards, but I’m very happy with how it’s turned out. Some very good photographers have joined, and everyone seems to be having a good time. Come join us if you are interested in jump photography!

“Yes, they are all real drivers licenses. In Virginia you can get a reissued drivers license on the spot if you have lost your license or just want a better photo.”

Linking to Britannica articles
I need to access a full article on Britannica and I heard you can do it by linking from a blog: folk society Update: It works! An alternative is to bookmark the target article to del.icio.us. Of course, this bears the question as to why Britannica is still based on an archaic paid subscription system, but I’m not complaining. I really need to know about folk societies since I’m doing someone else’s homework (ahem!). Here is the link to Britannica’s official policy regarding linkage.

Secret Stacks of Silk
A couple months ago we visited a famous silk shop on the outskirts of a nearby town on behalf of a Japanese buyer. She wanted samples from this area of Thailand because of the Khmer and Laotian influence that provides the Isan region with a special mix of so many things, including silk patterns. Basically, this was one of my biggest fantasy scenarios of all time – shopping for stuff I like, unrestrained, with a huge budget – and we attacked this job with zeal. We started by having the staff crack open the glass cases containing the good cuts of choicest silk, and buying a sample of each. We…

The First Element of Pimp (Thai Dub)
First step: Take your ride to get hand washed and waxed (approx. 100 baht / $3). Thai car washes have concrete ramps for bidet-style cleaning. Your car will thank you. The key here is the wax, you’ll see why later. A cheeky rooster at the car wash is most auspicious, Keanu. The next step of FEP (First Element, Pimp) can only be carried out at one place: A central chamber of one of the large temples in Sarakham. And of course, FEP should only be performed by trained professionals: We humbly begged for the expert blessings of the head monk who married us exactly one year (and one day) earlier.…

Bye-bye to Bozo
It may just be my current rage issues, but I thought this was the funniest thing: Two clowns shot dead “Acrobats, harlequins, animal trainers and other circus performers staged protests in different parts of the country following the killings, chanting ‘Justice for the assassins of laughter.'” Mind you, the assasin of laughter’s name is “My Fish.” “A spokeswoman for the Cucuta police said authorities were investigating the cause of the double slayings, but said they had discounted the reason being the men’s jobs.” Heh, suuuure.

“Is something wrong, she said”
“Well of course there is ‘You’re still alive,’ she said Oh, but I deserve to be? Is that the question? And if so…if so…who answers…who answers.” I’m still alive… I just have no time, at least for a short while longer. The most amazing set of photos have been taken, I just need some time to process and post. I have many things to write about, I just need time to figure out how to say them. I have not abandoned thee, I just ask for a little while to get my shit together. |||||||||||||||||||||| I have a strict quality standard for this blog, in that I will either provide…
