idiots

Sitting in a coffe shop at 1115pm buzzed out on caffiene...

This whole being laid off gig is working out reasonably well... with, of course the exception being the fact that the doomsday clock is ticking down to my financial insolvency at an alarming rate. ;-) (c'mon lottery! I need you now!)

That is a fact for the future however; tonight life is good, and hopefully the Leafs got their @ss kicked. ;-)

I was asked by a fellow photographer to shoot 'candids' at the Everything to do About Sex Show... so far, there has been lingerie fashion shows, Brasilian samba and meringue demos, and about everything else you could imagine. And some that you could not. I will not attempt to descirbe the 'dungeon' area *shudder*. Thankfully, I'm not contractually obligated to shoot that area.

I'll post a few pics when I have them processed.

Ciao, all.

duuuuude...

Canada troops battle 10-foot Afghan marijuana plants

POSTED: 5:12 p.m. EDT, October 12, 2006

OTTAWA, Canada (Reuters) -- Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall.

General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana.

"The challenge is that marijuana plants absorb energy, heat very readily. It's very difficult to penetrate with thermal devices. ... And as a result you really have to be careful that the Taliban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he said in a speech in Ottawa, Canada.

"We tried burning them with white phosphorous -- it didn't work. We tried burning them with diesel -- it didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now ... that we simply couldn't burn them," he said.

Even successful incineration had its drawbacks.

"A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those [forests] did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hiller said dryly.

One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."

So... anyone bring any nachos?

un-installed.

As of this morning, I'm no longer employed.

Wow. 7 yr gig. Even when you know it's going to happen (as it happened to almost everyone), it's still a boot to the chakra/karma/worldview.

I need to take a bit, decompress and contemplate the meaning of life.

Or have a gin and tonic and a twenty-something redhead.

Ciao beautiful peeps... go out and play in the sun.

Latest casualties...

And so it has begun...

 

So far, so good (assuming that good means still here, employed... yes, debatable).
