“Is it Tuesday?”
“No, dude, it’s Friday.”
“Friday?”
“Friday.”
“Oh.”
“Man, are you alright?”
“Yeah, sure, I’m fine, just kinda busy these days.”
“Busy? Dude, the president is busy, but he still knows what day it is.”
“Right, but he has like 24 people who remind him what day it is.”
“Okay, so maybe that’s not a good example, but you know what I mean, right?”
“Uh?”
Actually, it’s wednesday here today, and with you I suspect as well!
Haha…is it?
YES!
Oh you’re back! I’m so glad Mr Jelly. I was getting worried about you. And now, again, I’m confused. . . but I do know what day it is. Did you have a stroke, darlin’ or is this a fiction. Or my imagination running wild. Whatever, I hope all is well and good to see you back. Oh yeah – cool photo too. X
Thanks Synchy. Its a fictionalized account of my last two weeks. All is well btw.
Excellent!
OCD ALERT!! Lampshade askance!! I really (really, really) want to give the right side of that lampshade a gentle tug. I once had a friend who would surreptitiously ‘move things around’ in my home to toy with my OCD (I have radar vision and can even see recent depressions in carpet).
P.S. Last week, neither my youngest daughter or myself knew what day it was. The bizarre part was we had to check three different online sources because we couldn’t be sure we were getting accurate information (again, Scott possibly could relate).
Wow, depressions in the carpet…that’s amazing. BTW, I have (like all clowns) heat vision. Thanks E, enjoy your WEDNESDAY!!!
I love this shot – just the right amount of tilt to make me feel like there’s someone lurking in the shadows and messing with the props. Beautiful tones. Have you changed it to Noir Tuesday? or possibly Wednesday? Great title – very reassuring for those of us who were wondering what had happened to you
Thanks Kirsty. Haha, only a photographer would call furnishings props.
I am very happy to see your friendly face – or askance (to borrow ElizHersh’s delightful word) lampshade as the case may be – back on my blog radar
Thanks, its good to hear from you too Ruby.
Noir Tuesday, now Wednesday.
Haha, and not Thursday.
Grandparents house, Minneapolis. I’m a little boy, handing blind Great Grandpa John little porcelain animals to guess what they are. Great shot. Welcome back, FJ!
Haha, unicorns are always the easiest to ID. Thanks man, its good to be back.
oooh….nice lighting FJ. and nice to see you back
You do know that “do you know what today is?” is one of the first things they ask you in the mental hospital, right?
I mean, I think it is. I’ve heard it. Or read it, maybe. Somewhere.
(Missed you and glad you’re okay, calendrical dis-awareness notwithstanding).
And I really thought I was making up the word calendrical, but apparently not. Free vocabulary lesson of the day.
Jennifer, you are correct. Orientation is one of the first items addressed in a psychiatric assessment. “Oriented x 3″ means the patient knows who he is, where he is and the date. FJ is oriented x 2. I think he’s been off his meds which would explain the absense.
@Jennifer: Thanks darling. I am sorry you missed out on ‘calendrical’ because I know you are still bummed about ‘triple entendre.’
@E3H: I am off my meds, but that is beside the point. My tags reveal that I am actually ‘Oriented x Planck’s Constant.’
Hey, you’re back!
I thought you might have gotten yourself into some sort of legal entanglement for stealing some random pedestrian’s soul with your omnipresent camera.
But apparently not.
You must have spent the last two weeks tilting that lampshade back and forth until it spoke to you. That and peering thru cracks in the venetian blinds at the suddenly highly suspicious actions of your neighbors.
Welcome back!
You’re right (as usual) on all accounts. I have decided to sell said souls on Craigslist, but will give you first choice…let me know. Thanks Tamer, its good to be back.
When things get busy I try to stop and smell the burning dust atop a light bulb … or … something like that.
Cool shot – as always, sir!
Thanks spilled and we thought cliches were easy? HA
You were gone? Oh, shoot. How’d I miss out that you were gone? Welcome back, though. And why’s everyone saying that shade’s tilted. It’s fine. They’re looking at it tilting their own head. You have some really whacky people checking in here.
See Tom, that’s what I thought…go figure.
Absolutely LOVE this! And, the diaglog, (altho not sure how it fits in) is hysterical! Glad to have you back!
Thanks Tracy, the dialogue is my last two weeks distilled into a couple of fictional lines…something like that.
Why is the color broke on your camera?
FTDG
Is this dirty Dave?
Nope, Far Too Damned Good…
Is it March?”
“No, dude, it’s May.”
“May?”
“May.”
“Two-thousand four?”
“Two-thousand four? Dude, it’s two-thousand ten!”
“Oh.”
“What’s your problem?”
“Nothing, really. I just suffer from severe blackouts.”
“Phew. You had me worried there for a minute… ”
-
Good to see you (and your photo), FJ. Even though we miss you when you’re away, everyone’s allowed to be busy.
Thanks B.
“Dude, is it purple?”
“No, man. It’s Tuesday.”
Haha!
“Dude, is it edible?”
“No, man. It’s a lamp.”
(Sorry, couldn’t resist…)
You people read a heck of a lot into a lampshade..haha
Life, still.
Lampshade, crooked.
Photograph, engaging.
Daisy, thanks.
That’s hilarious, Bob. Great photo, but the story really gives it context. Nice work.
Why thanks Dave.
Isn’t that the shade you had on your head at that party, man? Glad your back entertaining our lives!
Many thanks T, and you’re thinking of a different lamp!!
