Sometimes, even the simplest, shortest, seemingly insignificant comment can send me spinning on a high of elevated self-esteem. I'm on one now after hearing this from a friend, entire unprovoked and, in fact, off-topic from what we were discussing at the time…

Ahem.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, topless cheerleaders (psst… drumroll please) it brings me great pleasure to make this announcement…

Jess and I are both trying out "Etsy":http://etsy.com/, the marketplace for handmade goods. I've got "a few photographs":http://danieljames.etsy.com/ in mine as well as a large, affordable poster, and Jess has packages of "handmade paper":http://sivatonight.etsy.com/ for sale in hers…

What makes "this morning's catastrophe":http://revjim.net/2006/07/24/off-to-a-bad-start/ even more annoying is that the reason I was even going into my office at 5 in the morning when I should be getting ready to head out the door for work was because I edited two photo sessions Sunday morning and I needed to upload them so I could [...]

Today's not starting off too well. I went into my office this morning to find no power in the room. Apparently, something caused the breaker to blow. I turned off a few things, went downstairs to flip the breaker back on, then came back up stairs to find that my computer isn't working. It booted, [...]

I'm not quite sure where any of my writing goes any more. So, I'll just keep writing if you keep reading (and commenting or emailing for the love of God).

Those of you that miss it, fear not. My regular photography posting will return soon — [...]

I'm really shaken up by something my wife has done and I'm not quite sure what to do. She doesn't know that I know yet and I don't know if I should say something to her and give her a chance to explain (like there is any way to explain this), just pretend it never [...]

Last night Jess and I stopped by "Art Six":http://www.myspace.com/artsixcoffee for a cup of coffee. This place has everything that I look for in a coffee house. First and foremost, it makes good coffee. It also has nice cozy places to sit, lots of tables, lots of corners to hide in with a book, and lots [...]
