I sure have missed being able to post here! I was on bed-rest for the majority of my pregnancy due to bleeding issues -- and if not for that, I was having a hell of a time with my hands. Pregnancy and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome do not mix well and my right hand especially was completely numb in three fingers and I couldn't do anything...

Hi! I'm Remy. Saw your thread on the ibt group and thought I'd stop by. Congrats on your baby boy! Hope your hands feel better soon. Carpal tunnel is the pits.
amberetta:
Awwwww!! He is precious!! Being pregnant is hard in itself. I had my lil boy Oct 2nd! Hope to see some recent pics of Wyatt!!
It's Bare-Bum Thursday!
Some pictures here!
I fell in love with the Puss In Boots character from Shrek (we finally saw the second movie and we're planning on seeing the third while it's still in theaters) and thought I'd do a quick little "set" with a pseudo theme.
We were also playing around with lighting some more and backgrounds. We set up a black background...

Make this woman an official SG girl or I'm cancelling my subscription!!
Fun pictures to come later or perhaps tomorrow.
Until then, I've had a few people ask me what kind of jewelry I make, or asked me if I had pictures. . . As a matter of fact, I do!

I enjoy being confused by fiction. I like to make up my own context .
Cool jewelery although I don't think it would look good on me.

Thanks for the encouragement! I know that if I keep trying they'll accept something. By the way, your jewelry is absolutely beautiful.
Did everyone have a wonderful weekend, I hope?
My hubby and I spent Saturday at SeaWorld (we were originally going to go up to the premier of Pirates 3 at Disneyland but in my infinite wisdom, chickened out). I would guess that I haven't been there in about 20 years and my husband hasn't in over 10 years. . . We both remembered the place...

gosh, I was 15 when I went to Sea Wourld, last with my folks from Germany, I have to go again, it's not that far away from me now.
thanks for writing about it.
good luck with your second attemt on the set. I shot one set that got rejected, feels shitty, but I learned much from the feedback, even the negative once.
have a good week

I've got a couple of friends in Raleigh who make jewelry as well.
I know all about commissions you don't really want... I do leather working and only really make stuff when I'm inspired. Which isn't TOO often. And never when someone is expecting a particular item from me. Bleh.

Bare Bum Thursday! YAY!
This was actually going to be a nice long post but. . . it's not now. Just to prove that I can, in fact, make short posts.
The quality of these pictures leaves everything to be desired. (Our lights are currently in the living room, not bedroom, and we didn't feel like moving them. . . I'm again sans make-up.) However,...

Lumpia is delicious. Pan de saal too.

Lumpias are sold on just about every street corner here in The Netherlands. They really are good!
Another week, still no job. It might help if I spiffied up my resume and applied for jobs . . . so I'm only half-heartedly complaining about the lack of job.
I'm sorry for my absence over the past few days - I think maybe one or two of you got used to my daily blogs (not that there's much content here!) or are wondering...

Eep. I hope I didn't say anything in the bad list :-(
My sister was diagnosed bi-polar a few weeks ago and I've been getting a crash course in the ins and outs of it. My GF's oldest sister was diagnosed about 10 years ago, so she's been a huge source of that information.
I wish there was something I could do to stop the downward spiral, but I know all too well that it's just not possible. I hope your meds help even it out some, at least.
I know all about not leaving any messages for a few days. I travel a lot, and that can seriously affect my online time when I'm on a business trip. I get behind on personal emails, blog viewing and responding, even looking at the new pictures posted by Suicide Girls.
What kind of work are you looking for?

Uploading a single (albeit large) file should not be so incredibly frustrating.
I've actually lost count of how many attempts I've made uploading my set to SG. Of course, recently I realized a better way to do it (apparently there are two spots you can upload on the form but only one really seems to work. . . unfortunately our Internet connection is constantly timing...

I have tons of touble upoading even small stuff that's with in the normal parameters for general posting. for a year or two I can't even upload .jpgs. I have to convert them to .gifs.
I just tried to post two pics on the "What Are You Listening To Right Now 2" board but only one will load and there's no reason I can see for the other not to load.
As for the show, it went not so well. I sang and played like poop on a stick and got got paid, shall we say, appropriately.
The sound was really good, considering I just brought two of my low-watt practice amps (one for mic, one to switch between various guitars, basses, and keys. Still, although the sound was good, I wasn't.
There wasn't much of a crowd and I read them wrong apparently and most of my three or four hours of song selection (and delivery) didn't go over real well. I couldn't even get them to request songs much, and wen they did, my faking skills failed me. Plus, I know I sucked. Just didn't "feel it." And my left wrist is messed up again so I sat down for a lot of the show, and that "just ain't me, Babe." Which is a quote from a song I didn't play. I'll try to pot the whole show's list if I remember it, but not right now.
My keyboard segment in the middle was just Hank Williams' You Win Again (which I played later on electric guitar with a slide) seguing into Fats Domino's Blueberry Hill, followed by Neil Young's "AfterThe Gold Rush."
I got a little response on my solo electric set. They seemed to like Purple Haze tease -> Wind Cries Mary -> Black Magic Woman tease -> Under The Bridge -> Jam -> Black Magic Woman.
And Time Warp -> Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight -> Time Warp -> This Land Is Your Land ->Time Warp montage worked okay.
And my sloppy as shit attempt at a solo version of 8 Miles High (The Byrds) didn't 'take off' as I hoped. The small audience (smaudience?) seemed to be 8 Miles High. Maybe if I had been, it would have been okay.
My Hank Williams Sr yodel stuff and newly conceived and borne "Ramones unplugged" miniset went over like a lead zeppe - er - iron butterfly - er - dreadful grape.
As did my blues jam, including the Dead's Black Peter and Willie Dixon's Little Red Rooster and Robert Johson's Walkin' Blues (the latter two segued together but I forget in what order - I actually played better slide than I usually do, especially in standard tuning).
My "Roll Another Number (For The Road)" (Neil Young) closer (no encore necessary, apparently :blackeyed) was well-received and I had an couple to go burn with one of the three remaining patrons. I just went right home and logged on and found no new comments so I went night night.
I got what I was worth, though, I suppose. I neglected, in he rush to get it together to get there to help out the owner, to arrange a payment deal and he only gave me 40 bucks and a 20 dollar tab, which is actually a lot more than my performance was worth. Normally I get at least a hundred for a solo gig.
Eventually I'll get to check out your recent pics, but now my nephew's (who's in th Persian Gulf with the Navy) wife and 3 year old son (the latter of whom I have not met) are going to be here from Virginia for a couple hours, so I gotta clean the house.
Hope all is well, Fair Lady.

Hooray for your leasing situation! (I think) And Boo for your internet situation.
OK, just barely in time for Full-Frontal Friday. . . I posted a new "set" called Glamour. It's. . . . Well, being blunt, it's about as far opposite as it could be from the set I'm submitting for consideration to be a fully-fledged official SuicideGirl.
Glamour!

Yeah, I dont regret seeing it.
My weekend was kind of a bum though. I got snowed in on free comic book day.

Sad part is, this snow is supposed to be rain. But I live at 9000ft, so it gets so cold the rain turns to snow, so I get a heavy wet snow that I slip around when I drive.
I have one of those good news/bad news scenarios.
I know today is Thursday. . . and I have no pictures to post. Well, that's not quite true. I've got a HUGE set of pictures. But. . . I feel so strongly about the quality of this set that I'm actually going to submit it for consideration for my first official set.

I suppose I won't get any more opinions on the question I posed to everyone on Monday so I will post a new blog.
Those who did reply, thank you thank you THANK YOU! You've helped me make two important decisions on SG-Hopeful-hygiene that much easier for me.
Anyway, I've been itching to share some pictures from last weekend and finally I got them in...
