This was a woman I saw in the parking lot of Costco. She had the biggest boobs. They were so big it was like they were more hovering around her as she walked. Super scifi. I looked around me to see if anyone was as terrified as I was. Then I'm pretty sure Rotisserie Chicken juices started raining from the sky.
I'm very fond of Georgie. She was rehomed from the rescue centre back in the summer, but has been brought back. Her name was Bucket before ... thank goodness it was changed while she was away! The reason she came in the first time was because she was terrified of the dogs who lived next door and had been weeing in the house. This time she was nervous of children with the same unfortunate result. She also has a touch of cystitis, which is no problem if she has the right diet. She's the sweetest, most affectionate little cat you could hope to meet and has been behaving impeccably since she's been back at the centre. I'm sure the right home is out there for her. She's really gorgeous. Third time lucky, Georgie!
A really poignant moment when I visited the rescue centre on Christmas Day was seeing a gift box Georgie's last owner had brought in for her. He must have been feeling sad.

The green and peaceful Isle of Man is the spectacular setting for the high-octane TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race, unquestionably the most thrilling, most demanding and just plain terrifying motorcycle racing in the world, held from late May to early June (30 May-12 June 2015). It is the world's most dangerous motorcycle race, inspiring passion and controversy in equal measure. By the start of this race in 1907, around 250 riders had died on the 60 km (37¾ miles) TT course.
The TT Circuit
The TT inspires more passion and loyalty than any other motorcycling event. Compared to the short, sanitised circuits of MotoGP, this is tough racing on the real public roads, with dozens of sequences to remember. The blind corners and the steep mountain climbs of Snaefell require years of experience to ride well; handling a 200 kg superbike of 1,000 cc and above around them at average speeds (lap record) up to 131.850 mph is gruelling, not to mention nerve-shredding. Should your concentration slip, there are no gravel traps to break your fall. There are only trees, telegraph poles and jagged stone walls......... More
For Navaratri’s seventh night, we celebrate Goddess Kalaratri, otherwise known as Kali. She takes a terrifying form, with eyes of fire and skin as dark as night, to purify the world by killing demons and destroying evil in the form of ignorance and egoism in the hearts of man.
She is the personification of the Ultimate, all comes from Her and all returns to Her. Her name means the One who is always giving and She will do everything to save Her children, absorbing all from Her devotees: the good, the bad, and the negative. She always delivers favourable results and Her devotees need not fear Her.

I entirely blame this lady and her monkey...
Incidentally, crochet is really seriously quick to learn, much more instantly gratifying than knitting and has the bonus that you're not trying to grapple with two foot long sticks of slippery wood (*ahem* I'm talking knitting, you filthy lot) that the whole lot of work slides off of when you break hard on the way home (don't ask). Created this in a couple of hours yesterday, using Debbie Stoller's great 'Happy Hooker' book to get the basic technique, and 'Amigurumi World' to learn how to make curvy ball shapes with smooth increases and decreases.
Or as though I'd worn the same contacts for way too long. I'm guessing a little photoshopping wouldn't hurt.
This piece of GF toast looked terrified as I buttered it! Funny thing is, that's the exact face I made when the loaf of bread cost me £2.50!!!
This is a TERRIFYING BUG that hopped onto Josh's mirror this morning in North Vancouver, traveling with us from home, through downtown Vancouver, waited throughout breakfast, then traveled with us to MEC on Broadway before disappearing.

I had a chance to visit the 2015 Phoenix Comicon - wow - it was impressive, amazing, and huge! It was a visual assault on the senses. So many people in costumes everywhere - for every person I shot there were 2-3 people I missed. The Comicon was scattered between a very large convention center and several hotels so I definitely got a lot of exercise trying to take it all in (which is impossible). Everyone was so gracious about shooting with me, a big goofy photographer.
I loved the energy and creativity people put into their costumes - many of them home-made. I hope I make it back for the 2016 event.
I took these photos at the end of May 2015 in Phoenix, Arizona.

John Smyser’s Terrifying Toronado exhibition car, which, terrifyingly enough, is best remembered for hurtling the guardrail at Irwindale Raceway and scaring the bejesus out of the fans in that section.
By all accounts, Smyser was a very good Top Fuel racer. With Nando Haase driving, his 392 Chrysler-powered Radar Wheels entry won the 1965 Hot Rod Magazine Championships in Riverside, Calif., and he and Harry Hibler were runner-up to Tony Nancy at the 1970 March Meet.
The Terrifying Toronado had its street roots in Olds’ peculiar attempt at a muscle car. With gobs of horsepower under the hood and chain-driven front-wheel drive for better traction, it should have been a huge winner, right? After all, while the GTOs and Mustangs were melting the hides trying to glue their tires to the road, the Olds would hook up just fine, thank you very much. The car was so highly praised that it won Motor Trend’s prestigious Car of the Year award in 1966. Smyser’s car was a ’66 – the first year in a production that ran through 1992 – and shared the same engine as the production car, a 425-cid V-8 powerplant.
Noted speed merchant Don Ratican (of Ratican-Jackson-Stearns fame) built the two Olds engines that, while they retained the stock displacement, were pretty racy, packed with Mickey Thompson pistons with Grant rings, a Racer Brown camshaft, heads ported and polished by Valley Head Service, and, naturally, a 6-71 supercharger.
The front engine turned the front 10-inch-wide Casler slicks on Halibrand wheels through the conventional Toronado automatic transmission and differential while the rear-seat-mounted second engine used a dual-disc clutch and a Schiefer aluminum flywheel to funnel power via direct drive to a conventional Olds rear end.
While the wheelbase remained at the stock 119 inches, the track was widened 8 1/2 inches in front and 2 1/2 inches in the rear, presumably for stability and tire clearance. The rear engine sat in a subframe that was easily removable for repairs (maybe they knew something ahead of time?). The car tipped the scales at a portly 4,500 pounds.
Despite its pedigree, the car may have been one of the more ill-conceived and certainly most ill-handling race cars ever built. Or maybe it was just too far ahead of its time.
The Terrifying Toronado was unveiled at the 1966 AHRA Winternationals at Irwindale and made its first run the following week at the ‘Dale. On its fateful lone pass, Smyser lost the handle early, with the car first darting left for the centerline, then hooking up hard and plunging back to the right into and over the Armco. As the famous photos show, it didn’t make it much farther than the guardrail and fell comfortably short – easy for me to say because I wasn’t sitting in the stands – of the chain-link fence.
It ran a few other times that year but never performed well enough to merit much attention. The car’s final outing came about a year after its debut, at the 1967 NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, where the car again ran afoul of the laws of physics. During Saturday qualifying, Smyser made an exhibition pass but again the car got all terrifying on him and busted through the right-side guardrail at speed at three-quarter-track. Fortunately, there were no grandstands that far downtrack. Regardless, it became clear that the Terrifying Toronado was just too terrifying to continue, and the car was retired.
