Several weeks ago, I was having a conversation and the Pacific Northwest came up. More specifically, the music scene. I argued that between Portland and Seattle, Portland had the better scene even though Seattle got all the attention (and most of the record deals). The thing about Portland music is that there was no such thing as a Portland Sound....
Hello, remember me? The absolute goofball with a shit-ton of notes and ideas in my Notion notebook and index cards that I fully plan to turn into a post either here or there, but due to Many Other Things, I have had neither the time nor the mental energy to write about any of it. Remember her?
Well, I’m back. Feel free to clap or roll your eyes (or both if you’re that coordinated) at this point.
After talking about how I’m hoping my recent wellness tweaks get me back on track, the Universe, apparently, has chosen ME for today’s Test. I did NOT capitulate and take a Cetrizine and the allergies have calmed down considerably. Not much I can do about the lack of sleep, though. Oh, well. Onward and u…zzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz EDIT: Oh, hey! Swollen glands....
I haven’t been feeling my best lately. I’ve identified two areas where I can make wellness tweaks that I’m hoping will get me back on track. Vegan At Home Given my family history with eating disorders1, I am very careful to not put judgment labels on food. No food is inherently bad or good. Food nourishes our body and spirit....
Last week I celebrated the return of my photoblog and just realized it’s as good a time as any to point y’all to other places where you can find my content online. I set up a portfolio page on Contently. It keeps my work in a neat, tidy place. Here’s the list of places to find my content: Aggregated articles/posts:...
We can’t seem to go a week without another story of a boy or a man(child) who feels entitled to feminine attention and goes on a murderous rampage when he doesn’t get it. Nor can we seem to break free from the narrative that it’s the girl/woman’s fault for rejecting the murderer. When I remember the hell I was put...
Well, I sorta almost forgot to write anything about the 4-month mark of living in Raleigh. It’s been on my mind for the past couple of weeks, but it’s been a busy time getting my freelance business going. #WeatherReportByVicster We’re starting to experience summer-like weather: it’s been in the 90’s for the past few days, but the humidity hasn’t been...
via GIPHY Welp. I ended up spending a lot more time working on the home page refresh than I had intended, but it’s done1. It’s been a very long time since I tinkered with Cascading Style Sheets. Sure I could have purchased a template and made my life easier, but dammit, I did not want my front page to look...
via GIPHY I mentioned earlier that I was working on a refresh of my home page to spiffy it up for visitors and that I thought doing the coding myself was a great idea since I’ve also been itching to refresh and update my web development skills. So it’s taken a bit longer than I originally planned, since these are...
(Cross-post from Fresh Pixels) Now that I’m settled in Raleigh I decided it was time to unbox my light stands and flash units and start practicing portrait photography. Like all great artists *cough* I decided to hire myself as a model since I was already here and available. The first set of portraits (black shirt) was taken using my 40mm...
