Last Thursday
2007-09-08 18:34:00 This photograph is a tribute to the difficult days and the people who make those days pass faster. Thank you D, for holding me up, lifting me, carrying me, feeding me and making me laugh on the days when I can’t do those things by myself. And to real friends who bring popcorn, muffins, hot ...

Audio Cat rocks your speakers!
2007-09-06 22:48:00 I recently found these photos lurking within a forgotten folder on the hard drive of our media PC. They’re a couple of years old (check out the grotty living room…we’d just moved in and hadn’t gotten everything sorted yet). Thanks and apologies to Shai. Want more? Go to ICanHasCheezburger.com.

Someone will be wearing my face.
2007-08-28 20:41:00 Seriously, this is the fucking weirdest thing ever. A while back, a chick I know on deviantART did the most amazing digital painting of me. It’s beautiful, I want it on my wall (cause I’m vain like that) and I love it to bits. It seems some scumrat has taken it upon themselves to put ...

Sunday is breaking
2007-08-24 17:10:00 I ran through myself through the glass through your hands through the night to this morning to this mourning this requiem requisite thundering faltering memory glasses half full and the bottles half empty I fell in love fell against table tops fell down the stairs and fell into this blackout and breathlessness waking to silence your coma my medicine sunday ...

Thoughts of the AM.
2007-08-21 23:24:00 this coffee i drink is as dark as my dreams as i dress in denial and split at the seams avoid the reflection a carving in stone an invisible face that looks more like my own morning anxiety 9 o’clock dreads for a body of work in a body of lead smiling and talking sweet ...

Cutting vs Cutting
2007-08-21 00:37:00 We all know I talk too much about my thoughts, feelings and general weirdnesses here. When I first started writing a blog, that was what it was for - to get the shit out of my head and onto ‘paper’, onto a screen, onto the internet where millions (ok, more like thousands) of people ...

The Caravan Club
2007-08-12 14:53:00 Want to see what’s been taking over my life recently? It’s The Caravan Club, a one-man show written by and starring Andy Robinson, being performed at Medina (downstairs at Negociants, Lothian Street opposite Bristo Square, Edinburgh) throughout August. The lovely people I work with at the magazine are responsible for the show happening, ... More About: Comedy , Creative , Love , Work , Gender
Can you fall for someone you?ve never met?
2007-08-08 23:38:00 …I hope so, cause everyone I’ve met is a bunch of cunts. No, not a quote from me. A quote from a stranger, written on an AOL advert in Brighton. The ‘Can you fall for someone…’ part was the advert, the ‘bunch of cunts’ bit was the response, painted underneath. For more intellectual, ...

The next plague.
2007-08-04 20:53:00 “And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of ...

Pinky Punky
2007-07-28 18:40:00 It’s my new hair! The hair itself is white-blonde and the pink bit is done with UV glow pink spiking gel. I have spent many hours bathed in bleach over the last couple of weeks and my poor hair has suffered but damn, it looks cool so it’s worth it. I’m currently ...

New York, New York?
2007-07-28 15:12:00 I’ve been alerted to this by a New York er friend and while it doesn’t directly affect me or others in the UK, other countries often follow when there US leads so it’s a cause worthy of ALL our support. The following information comes from PictureNY.org, The Mayor?s Office of Theater, Film, and Broadcasting, which coordinates ... More About: Rants , Photography , Photoshoots
One to watch.
2007-07-22 23:21:00 I’ve not blogged in bloody forever and I haven’t ready anyone else’s blogs in at least a week. I’ve been working lots and by the end of the day have reached the stage where I just can’t look at the computer any more so my online recreation has suffered somewhat recently. ...

Pulled in every direction.
2007-07-10 23:41:00 The photo is of Corneilius, who has nothing to do with the subject of this entry other than the image itself seemed quite fitting. D and I had a really interesting conversation earlier about gender realignment surgery. No, neither of us is considering having it done, it’s just something we were talking about in a ...

Taste (of sales, hotdogs and size zero)
2007-07-10 00:13:00 I’m not about to start advocating the eating of plastic rats, I just couldn’t resist using this pic of the gorgeous Marilyn’s Shampoo to illustrate a vaguely related entry. Today I had a horribly cliched person-who-works-in-sales moment. After spending quite a while driving around the city centre and NOT getting irritating by the ...

Shortage of gas masks in Israel.
2007-07-09 23:41:00 Check this for randomness. I received an email earlier today from Ryan Nadel asking if he could use the photo above to illustrate a news article he’d submitted to NowPublic.com. The article? It’s about the shortage of gas masks in Isra el and you can read it here. If you click on ... More About: Photography , Vanity , Short
Smoking, bodybuilding and writing.
2007-07-03 19:20:00 “The only activities I could think of that had no animal equivalent were: smoking, bodybuilding and writing. And that’s not much considering how special we seem to think we are.” - Douglas Coupland I made two observations about human nature last night. Before you read on, please remember that I was rather tired and things had ... More About: Comedy , Life , Writing , Smoking , Bodybuilding
Yuck.
2007-07-02 12:42:00 You know what? It’s been one of those days. I need to have a rant/bitch/vent here because I don’t want to inflict my stupid bad mood on the people around me, and at least anyone reading this has the option to disregard the entry and read no further. I was at a party on ... More About: Life , Rants , Work , Issues , Kitty
Felching is better than chocolate.
2007-06-23 00:27:00 Today I have been having fun with Sloganizer.net, a fabulous little gadget into which you put a word (your name, your cat’s name, whatever) and it generates a slogan for you based (sometimes loosely, sometimes recognisably) on various companies’ taglines. I started with my name and giggled most at these results: Tanya is what the ... More About: Comedy , Chocolate , Bett , Late , Chocolat
Reverse Therapy - a step in the wrong direction
2007-06-21 14:17:00 This is long, I know. But please read it. If you get to the end of this blog entry you will have a better understanding of things that affect my life and cause me to be the militant invisible-disability activist that I am. And I would appreciate it, a lot. I’ve just seen something that made ... More About: Life , Rants , Issues , Back , Therapy
Wear Sunscreen
2007-06-17 00:32:00 A photo of me from every year, from 17 to 21. They’re scanned snapshots, hence the dodgy quality, and the blacked out face in that one picture doesn’t have a meaningful story behind it - it’s simply someone I’ve lost touch with over the years and I don’t know if he’d want ...

6 weird things
2007-06-11 02:38:00 I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for absolutely ages and finally got a chance to take the photo today when D and I had simultaneous spare time (not a regular ocurrance). It looks exactly how it looked in my head, and I’m pretty sure that nothing beats that feeling. Yum. I ... More About: Weird , Things , Thing
On traffic and child abduction.
2007-06-06 17:35:00 I did something potential stupid yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. I drove from Edinburgh to Glasgow in the morning. I left the house at twenty to eight and was expecting a three hour traffic jam on the M8 but no - it seems these Glasweigans have their traffic shit together, unlike Edinburgh which ...

Spunky don?t like her uniform.
2007-06-02 02:05:00 “spunky knows she can save the world in her own little way turning in her old uniform ’cause you know it really didn’t pay ’cause it’s a free-for-all free-for-all, free-for-all it’s a free-for-all you and me i’ll walk through the world with your name on my tongue and your picture etched on my screen” The lyrics are from ‘Spunky’ by Eels.

Not a celebration of my feminine curves.
2007-05-31 23:20:00 In this age of double standards of acceptance and the continued pursuit of perfection the world tells me I’m supposed to love my curves and be proud of my fat bits while simultaneously instructing me how to ‘get a body like (whoever), in time for summer!’. I put on weight when I became ill and ... More About: Beauty , Life , Photography , Issues , Celebration
No-one is always ok and not all portraits are pretty.
More articles from this author:2007-05-30 23:54:00 I’ve been feeling a little weird about my photography lately, kind of lost. I realised that every time I take a photo I think about whether or not it will print up to 16×20 inches or thereabouts, and if it won’t, it feels somehow wrong. This means that I never take photos at ... More About: Creative , Life , Rants , Photography , Work 1, 2, 3 |
