First Story
They are coming to clean my carpet so I wanted to move things and unplug my Internet access and computer(s). I didn't really think this through in terms of my 365 project here, did I? I shot this pic later tonight but couldn't process or upload. Doh!
Second Story
Well, maybe you saw this one coming. Now that I'm hooked up again I notice only five views for my last upload. That is just disheartening and time to pull the plug with Flickr. I know I already said this once--or twice?--but this time I'm afraid it is final and for ever. I don't need Flickr for 5 views.
Like I mentioned a couple months ago I'm planning to create my own website where I'll display all my pics because Flickr's management and especially access control is just too simple for all my pictures and doesn't seem to change anytime soon. Unfortunately I've put that on hold recently but I hope I'm able to make it happen comes spring. The social aspect here is tempting, though. It just never really worked for me. Probably my pics are utter crap, I'm just a turd and I'm expecting too much. Besides this handful of buddies the rest is just pity and I don't need pity.
Once my website is up I'll have a final image and link, until then ... See ya!
Small appliances can be so-called vampires, sucking electricity even when shut off or not in use. I unplug my speakers, my electric kettle, my toaster, and the like when not in use to save.
A city worker tries to unplug a storm drain. A very heavy thunder storm over taxed the storm drains. I don't think it was clogged as his efforts did not help much.
We headed to Hocking Hills this past weekend, for what has become our annual unplug and recharge weekend.
The ancient castle of Carpiano dates back to the beginning of the X century, when it belonged to Rovaldo Baldassini, father of Sant'Ubaldo, patron saint of the town of Gubbio.
In the XVII century the property was left to the Curia of Gubbio that built a church dedicated to San Biagio and Santa Liberata.
The church was in use until the property was abandoned, owing to a decline in the population of the area.
In 2001 Riccardo & Marilisa Parisi discovered the old hamlet and immediately fell in love with that "pile of rocks" dreaming to bring life back at the Borgo.
The restoration took many years of devotion and was carried out using original materials and preserving the character of the place.
Most of the furniture, paintings, china and silver are from the owners family collection..
Sometimes its nice to unplug and just chill analog style. It's easy to forget how much fun it is to just play some checkers, and somehow the Simpson's Duff Beer bottle caps even add to the fun.

Moe: Say, Barn. Uh, remember when I said I'd have to send away to NASA to calculate your bar tab?
Barney: Oh ho, oh yeah. We all had a good laugh, Moe.
Moe: The results came back today.

Watching the sunset quietly, quiet my mind, allow me to unplug and relax; away from my normal routine, feel and hear my heartbeat and inner voice...

So... My internet was down for nearly a whole decade. I took loads of photo's over this weekend and had no chance to upload as we are getting our floor done so had to unplug the net. I tell you what, living without flickr is harder than you'd imagine!!
I am now updating my 365, so i know most of these have been uploaded on the same day, but they have the right intentions.
So this is Ash and Andy pretending to have a fight, in Trafalgar Square, completely frozen. We went to London today to do some filming for an NYT music video that was being sent to the opening night in Bejing, for the Olympics, as a reprsentitive of the National Youth Theatre. We were only filming for an hour or so, so we figured we'd make a day of it. and we did. We went to lunch, went to Banksy's Tunnel, did a bit of shop browsing (Abercrombe & Fitch Style), and then went to trafalgar suare and did this; 'this' being freezing in watchable positions, in the middle of London. First it started small, just stopping infront of groups of people as they walked by so they'd get confused and have to walk round you, to walking into each other pretending to start a fight, then freezing in a confrontational position (as shown in the photo, only it doesn't look that impressive as photo's are still anyway). But it was was impressive :-) some people thoguth we were a street act and threw some money for us, some posed with us for a photograph, and some just stood watching for ages. Aw, the things we do to entertain ourselves.
