I've been inspired to bake recently and I've decided to share my yummies. Yesterday I made a two layer chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and today I made homemade truffles. Tomorrow I want to make tomato basil bread and other breads. Matt still won't tell me what he wants for his birthday..so if he doesn't specify he's getting something with chocolate mousse.

We spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday together and by the end of the weekend Loaf had enough stimulation. Saturday we went to Northgate Mall and stopped over at Dean's so his mother could see her. Sunday we drove to Riley's and 50% of the time she wasn't very happy. Although I'm surprised she handled the situation that well considering how many new people held her. Despite of all that Tara is still sleeping well. I'm especially loving her 10am-1,2pm nap. Hopefully she keeps her Daddy's sleeping habits. ;)

It looks like ModelMayhem is finally paying off. Someone contacted me about editing a large number of photographs and developing a full time partnership with him and I'm excited. At $4 a photo it really adds up over time, and who doesn't need extra money? While I'd like to start doing shoots instead, editing photographs takes up less time. The reality is I'd need more equipment than I could afford right now, and I can do this from home.

I'm kind of getting pissed off at everyone who keeps asking when I'm going back to work. I'll go if I need to go, but only if and when that occurs. If Matt doesn't get this new job then sure I'll go back--but that means we'll have to move out of state. Can't you see why I'm not jumping at the chance? I'm not just going to take some crappy job just so I can stay here while Loaf stays at a daycare. I never want my infant at a daycare. It's seriously distresses me to imagine her there. She likes to snack during the day, and she wouldn't get the one-on-one time she needs. She would be a number. Just thinking of that makes me want to cry.

Matt's father called him this weekend and I was surprised he didn't hang up on him. He was actually fairly pleasant to him which I do not understand. It has been over 2 months and he still hasn't seen her. If it was me and he didn't show after a week I'd cut all ties with him and tell him to piss off. Although that's the only way I know how to handle things, and I'll never understand anything else. Pretty much anyone who is sane in my family works the same way. We hold grudges, we act out of spite--it protects us. I tend to view anything else as weakness.

I think I've decided to stop using LJ and stick to blogger. I've been using LJ for around 8 years..it's time for a change. I don't want to have a private journal anymore. I want something my family can see for photos, thoughts, updates, etc.

My city is wrecked after hurricane force winds ripped through the surrounding area. Trees were uprooted, thrown, and 90% of Duke Energy's customers are without power. We have power, obviously. But this is the only traffic light that works. We drove 45 minutes around town to get food and gas and we couldn't find one place that was open. The only place open around here is Steak and Shake(which is full) and Ameristop. You can't get food here. You can't get gas. All the schools and businesses are closed and they said it could take up a week to get power back in the city.

I'm getting pretty good at this now so I'm going to post a couple shots with you. Matt hates having his photo taken, but he better get used to it because I'm going to perfect this. Light painting is where you have a long exposer set in complete darkness and you shine different lights to paint what you want. Here you go.

"Shaky economy to hit kids at school this year," reads MSNBC.

"In places where the district charges for bus service, such as San Jose, Calif., parents will have to pay more. Hundreds of districts are cutting or consolidating bus routes, expanding the distance kids have to walk.

In Oxford, Ala., the bus has always made stops at every house. But this year, kids in fifth grade through 12th grade will have to walk to neighborhood bus stops."


Won't somebody please think of the children!?

Wah.

First read this bullshit. Bush wants to "redefine" the word abortion, because you know he likes to make up his own words. "Reuters this week carries a broad definition of abortion as any procedures, including prescription drugs, "that result in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation."

Okay folks! Throw out your dictionaries! Fucker, words are not tinker toys! I'm still surprised it doesn't include condoms because they do similar things, but I'm guessing you'd rather have babies than AIDS. Unwanted pregnancies by children are okay, AIDS is not. Got it. Look I'm all about freedom of religion and I can respect people who practice, but not when it interferes with my life. IT'S MY VAGINA AND UTERUS, YOU FUCKS! I don't want to do the fucking time warp back into the 1940s. Stop this shit or I'm going to be one pissed off atheist.

I'm married, I don't want to have kids, and condoms suck! Why the hell would I use a condom when I'm married anyway? "Sure just wrap the penis in a plastic bag--it'll feel great!" Fuck you, no it does not. Ribbed for her misfortune, indeed.



"Fuck" count = Only 4! It may be the only fucking I'll be doing for a long time.

I checked the front page of Capturecincinnati.com and nearly all of my photos are featured on the front page. Hell yes! The sad thing is that my most popular photo is the one of myself. Seriously? Okay as long as I get published.

I only joined three days ago, so this makes me very happy. :)

No one can escape!

Please go here http://capturecincinnati.com/people/Emid and vote for my photos to be featured. You can vote once a day and I would really appreciate it. If you need help feel free to ask.

Figured I'd update it here as well since not everyone uses myspace. We went with 3 photographers and 6 models, a makeup artist as well as wardrobe and hairstyling. I think they turned out pretty well. I realized that after working with Doug he inspires me to be creative, but he also inspires me to buy more pretty toys.

I still have more but I'm done editing for the night.

Just a few moments ago I turned around to see something crazy. I originally turned around because I heard growling. The new kitten was dragging an entire loaf of bread down the hallway and into my computer room, growling and fueled by wild kitten rage. Yes, that's right. She somehow jumped on to the refrigerator, grabbed the loaf of bread, and managed to drag it all the way down the hall. She is a damn terror. I love her to death, but now I know how people with servals must feel. Guess I'll have to invest in a breadbox?

I don't understand because she was fed on a diet of purely raw meat and bones. Suddenly she likes grain and attacks my bread products, hell she already mauled my hotdog buns. I want freaking hotdogs. >:(

God now she has something else. BBL

The new kitten is so so cute, but like any kitten she has loads of energy. There are certain things she does that are different from a domestic cat. She has a little bark instead of a meow, but she can meow. She'll lick me then gum me(bite gently) which I'm guessing is a preen. She's completely obsessed with water and continues to jump in our toilets. Pancake can also jump very high, and the last place I found her was on my shower rod. I have no idea.

In a completely non related topic--what are your thoughts about peak oil? "The worst-case scenario for peak oil is a plateau from 2007 -- 2012 before oil production starts to decline. Professor Aleklett remains pessimistic about increased rates of discovery in the coming years. 'If you look at the discovery trends over the past 40 years, we will find 150 billion barrels in the next 30 years. If you are consuming 30 billion barrels every year means that that stock will last five years,' he said."

I saw a photo today and it pissed me off. "Real meat eaters don't have to cook their meat. You were born a vegetarian!" I hope you die in a fire and never reproduce because you are fucking retarded. We have canine teeth for a reason, and the same with our other teeth. Only a few teeth are for grinding PLANT MATERIAL FUCKER. FUCK. Wisdom teeth were for chewing RAW MEAT. Since we rarely eat raw meat the teeth are starting to go away.

We can eat and digest raw meat, but choose not to because we have the intelligence and fucking thumbs to cook our meat. God I hope someone punches you from space.

I don't care if you're vegan or vegetarian. I just hate stupid people. Quit trying to be a smart cookie and go back to saying you don't eat meat because the animals are cute. You fail at logic.

Things you haven't seen.

I have this undying urge to create something meaningful and beautiful. It has been too long since I've taken a photograph. I want models. I want lighting. I demand fun. I want adventure. I want an epic event.

There's a photography event at the end of March, but that's still the end of March. I need something soon. Won't someone help me? :(
