Photos I've snapped lately..

  • Jan 4, 2009
  • 1 comment

I haven't got much so say really. So I thought I'd get some pics from my flickr to here. Lately I've been sending out pics directly from my phone to flickr, as well as other sites, which is super fun. 'Sun is going away' is one that I sent from phone days ago when I was at the beach. 

If you're on flickr... feel free to add me as a contact.

Night-Time Intermission

night-time intermission
personal inquisition
nocturnal emission
just talking to myself


I named the photo after this song, because it was taken on a night time intermission. I was having a very busy night with a number of people, when I had to take an intermission... to talk to myself. I went up to the roof of my house and gazed around the lights of my neighborhood.

As I was downloading the photos from the camera, I was listening to Charlotte Gainsbourg's album 5-55. I was about to give the photo a name, and because I suck with titles my initial thought was to call it 5-55... after the song I was listening to at the time. It didn't make much sense, but I liked it anyway. Then, I noticed the name of this song... and it was just perfect!

Time for my -what seems to be annual- update.

I logged in to Vox last night after quite sometime of not checking in only to find out some lovely news: Leila got married and Mr. Scocceraholic turned 23 and wants to get married, haha. You guys rock, and I wish you all the best :)

Days ago I was going through my archive looking for a certain post, and I noticed how good of a blogger I was. It was really fun.. till I became a super lazy blogger who only blogs once a month. I think I need to get back to daily blogging, for my own sanity, a lot of negativity .. and good times to, need to be shared or dumped somewhere. I thought I had that covered with the microblogging platforms I'm using like Twitter and Plurk, but that 140 character limit is.. well.. limiting! I also have my other shopping blog that I'm running. That thing requires a lot of time and effort! But I'm totally enjoying the process.
 
So, long story short, I'm gonna try not to neglect this blog... even though I don't really update, I am strongly attached to it, so I'll try to pay more attention to it :)

Photography of Alexey Titarenko

The photographer used digital techniques to make these photos look like ancient memories. I just love the cold atmosphere, the blur and old feel of it.

Your blog is out there!!1!

  • Jun 27, 2008

Usually when I blog something on here, I never keep in mind the fact that people are actually gonna be reading it at some point. And not just my Vox neighborhood or Vox users in general, but it's really out there for all people to see.

From time to time I get emails from people who come across my blog through Google or some blog directory, and those emails are what reminds me of how exposed blogs are. Those emails are usually a request for a song I've posted that they can't find anywhere or some silly question about something I've said. I think people find it easier to email me than sign up for Vox to leave a comment.

Anyway,  yesterday I got an email with a rather strange request. A guy named Greg (Hi Greg .. if you're reading this!) from a company named Think and Thrive was looking for someone from Saudi Arabia to help him find some visual aid for his company... a Saudi globe where Israel is nonexistent. My first reaction was "Really? I don't think I've actually paid enough attention to a globe to see if Israel is there or not", it is possible though that it's not. Greg's assumption comes from this article from the New York Times which talks about custom made globes and how it's affected by politics.

Sadly for Greg, I was not much of a help, but I was able to redirect him to a friend of mine who is willing to go out and look for such a globe. That's as much help as I could give. Now whether or not that kinda globe is available.. I'm not sure but I'll update again once I hear from my friend.
