Amendment

I'm smart enough to know that what you omit can be almost, if not more, important than what you include. So when my sister chastised me for making her look like a "b---h" in yesterday's post, I told her I'd fix it up a bit.

It happened the way I said it did, word for word. What I did omit was that she herself is a regular lurker on the site (she'd have to be, to catch that post so soon). I guess she was just shocked that it had an audience outside of close friends and family.

Because these pics will never appear anywhere otherwise:

Here's a shot of Socialist fixing our toilet, bird extended. It turns out my favorite chair had originally been installed using folded pieces of cardboard to fill gaps around the bolts and seal. That would be the work of the tile guy during the remodel in early '07. It's fixed now, and I thank Socialist for making it so.



A pic of a bird outside my Mom's apartment, one with so little fear of humans it let me close enough to nearly pet it.



Smiley, apparently auditioning for "What Not to Wear"



Here's a Speedway ad. The first few times I saw this I assumed the round circle near his chest, and the subtle shading that created a curve beneath it, were tricks of the light. But nope, they're not. The man in this gas station ad apparently measures a C cup.



A school project of Smiley's, now planted in our lawn.



These are the plants that grew from the bulbs I planted with Faith during the first snowstorm of last winter. Long story.






Here's a makeup happy Elvis, as seen on the side of a local McDonald's.



And that's all folks. Truly memorable pictures, I know.
