A week in on NaBloPoMo on my other blog at moving delirium.  

I want to move.  To another blog.

Don't hate me, I love you. 

I have another bloggity blog all set up as part of movingdelirium.com.  You don't even have to remember a new address.  There's a link to it right on the top bar.

Will you still visit?  I won't leave it you don't.

I never really locked down my Vox blog the way I should have because I wanted to have max exposure, but I'm going to limit it just to mah peeps and keeps them other out.

So you'll still be privy to my deepest, darkest, murderous thoughts.

The "regular" ones - yeah - the regular ones - will just be on the other block.

Basically, certain people are complaining that they can't post comments here without an account, and that kinda sucks.

I have so many things to say I don't know where to start, but first come over to moving delirium for WTF Weds - it's a new version and it'll be really fun if you come! 

other than that, there's stuff about the house and other crap, but I'll get to that later.

Posh and Becks have moved to Los Angeles: [is this good?]

who the fuck cares

Would you go on vacation by yourself, and if so where would you go?
Submitted by Sean & Stefan.

I never thought I would go on vacation alone.  I don't even like exploring cities alone.  I had to drive around Virginia Beach alone for a day while my friends were working and I literally didn't know what to do.  I just drove around in circles and finally parked my pathetic ass at The Jewish Mother where I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and 18 cups of coffee.  The waitress felt bad for me and kept chatting with me.

But now that there are babies I have to say that I might go.  I fantasize about things like getting thrown in jail, going to the hospital for something minor, inexpensive but requiring a week-long stay.  Maybe something mental where I get a lot of drugs.  As long as I can draw, I'll be fine. 

Barring involuntary incarceration, I would probably go to the beach somewhere.  Aruba was amazing.  You put up a flag and they bring you drinks.  Oi.

The other direction I might go in would be to take a photography vacation, which I would enjoy.  I take too many pictures of the babies.  I wish I had more of a chance to experiment and explore and wander.  Or do a photojournalist essay on a mental hospital.  And I could be asked to be detained for the experience. That would be sweet.  They let you keep your markers, right?

There's a really cool online photo editor called fauxto to which I was just introduced.  It's browser-based, no download, no fee, just fun.  This is not a paid plug or anything.  I just loves it.

I technically have a copy of ye ole photoshoppe, but it's packed away on an external hard driver along with the rest of my things, so I've been more or less editorless for several months.

Anyway, if you yearn to play, check it out.  We started a Flickr group too if you want to show off your creations.  It's nice to just clean up edges, have some control, etc.  If you've never played with Photoshop at all, give it a shot. 

This is a macro pic I took of my eye.  I didn't modify it in Fauxto, just cropped it up a bit.  I didn't know my eye was so.. strandy.

Eye

I got some new markers.  Real markers.  Adult markers.  Markers that don't say Crayola on them and don't smell like blueberries and licorice.  I thought it was funny to draw with the Crayola markers for a while but it was kind of like how a 3-legged race is fun for about 45 seconds.

So this is my first robot done completely with the new markers.

I don't know why they are aligned like this and I give up trying to fix it.  I was trying to put them in a chronologically numbered list and this is what happened.  They aren't even in the right order.  Ach.  I'm tired.
