Inside out looks

[susandennis]

Long time readers might note that the photograph I use here changes all the time. The days of the photo du jour may well be over. The problem is that I have been unable to capture on camera, what I think I look like. Yes, there is much denial. I am not georgous, but the camera adds even more elements creating pictures that really don't look like me.

Until today. I was futzing around and checking on computer stuff when I happened on my own webcam page and saw me. And it looked like me! And I snagged a copy and it's what you see and what you will probably see from now on. Cool.

I still love the one pinkfish made:

So you might see it from time to time because it just makes me happy. But, otherwise today's is the one I'm going with...

In other news...

I did walk. It was hotter than it looked. I also got a way later than usual start and I'd forgotten about the tourists. They were out in full and it was fun to see them all enjoying my city.

Plus, I ran into my friend, Susan, who is the office manager for the start up I used to work for. She was on her way into the new offices to catch up on stuff so she took me up for a tour. And, wow. This outfit has purchased and furnished elegant office space. The current population (which is nearly double what it was when I left in February of 2004) fills about 20% of the space. Clearly, they are expecting a way big future. I hope for them the best. And I am so glad I am not working there!

I did not get great pix but I did get the Lusty Lady. This is just across the street from the Seattle Art Museum. It's owned by a woman and a fun business. Every Thursday, they change the marquee. If you submit a marquee saying they use, you get a t-shirt that says "Have an Erotic Day".

I have picture issues, too. Of course I think I should use my high school graduation picture, but the daguerreotype is hard to copy.

I really like this picture of you too. It looks like I think you should look.

Yes, that is a much better picture of you. I had noticed that most of your icons didn't look like what I had occasionally seen of you on your webcam. Guess you should have used a webcam picture before now, huh? :-)

I like the photo because it looks unforced.

(And I'm chuckling at next week's possible marquee "Pants Armstrong")

Actually, I'm having a hard time getting too excited one way or the other about the monorail. Since I lean towards more mass transit, I guess I'd hope they make it work but it sure does seem like they've taken every opportunity to screw it up.
