Spock Misses The Point

Last night I dreamt that somebody asked me for my mobile number, and I couldn’t remember it. I think it was the Natalie from Wang Films who called last night, except this time she was in person. She was standing right next to me, on my left, although she was all burry and […]

Another attempt at taking a photo of somebody.  This is a bit better than the sleeping girl.  I had an empty carriage then.  This time the train was filled.  I had to talk myself into it.  I’m glad I did.  She actually half woke, saw me looking at her.  I got scared, looked out the […]

Still with the 50mm f1.4 lens on the Nikon FE, I took this really to get the lady talking on the phone.  It’s more of a frustrated zoom shot without a zoom lens.  I was aware of the pattern of the building but didn’t think I liked it enough to scan the photo for uploading.  […]

Last night I dreamt I was a roadie for Nirvana.  Yes, Kurt Cobain was alive in the dream.  They had a drummer named Yogi, and he was a crap drummer.  Actually I thought he was pretty good, but Kurt saw me tapping my fingers on the table to the radio one day and said, “Hey, […]
