Just got in the door!! Took this before I went out and luckily I had at least one in the camera that was half decent! Again I apologize for the lack of creativity on my part...I swear I will get my mojo back soon!! (I have to find it first!)

I have been finding that my pics have been looking the same. I suppose we all go through these periods of less then steller shots on the creative scale. meh! It will be over soon!

On another note I am foregoing my 1/2 marathon training this evening to stay home and recuperate. All of you Flickr friends out there must think I am a drama queen or something....but I really have been sick!! I just want this to be over!

Being sick has stopped my training at the gym on many levels which has left me frustrated with my inactiveness!

175/365 - a bitter pill to swallow...


175/365 - a bitter pill to swallow...
Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.

Apparently my illness is either a) me catching ANOTHER cold after almost getting over the last one; or

b) my old cold turning bacterial and eventually turning into pneumonia.

The doctor perscribed antibiotics. I know this will probably upset Susan and her 5D but in this case the drugs are necessary. I am sick and not getting any better after taking decongestants and going to be early every night for the last 3 weeks, I am actually getting worse!

Let's hope this does the trick!

I was feeling that this cold was finally at the tail end then I went on a 9.4 Km run yesterday morning and consequently I feel like shite! My sinuses are clogged, my nose is running and I have a headache. Blech!

Going to the clinic tomorrow to get some antibiotics or something, this has been going on for too long!!!

Going to bed now....

CHINA GIRL - David Bowie

I could escape this feeling
with my China girl
I feel a wreck
without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating
loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing

I'm a mess
without my little China girl
Wake up mornings where's my little China girl
I hear her heart's beating
loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down

I feel a-tragic
like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my china girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swasticas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes

My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says : sh-sh-shhh

After seeing Jah Lovely post some photos of childhood I realized that I don't have any. When I was a teenager I went looking for all my school pictures and tore them all up. To this day I have no regrets.

After spending a day on the firing range in the sub-zero temperatures that we Canadians love, I am exhausted!! I didn't realize how tired I really looked until processing this photo. This is me at my photography course that goes until 9:00 PM...sleep will be nice!

I just found out that one of my old bosses committed suicide today. His last name was Campbell and because we are in the Navy he was always known as *Soupy*.

He was intimidating to me at first but then I realized that his bark was most definitely worse then his bite.

He was the one that broke the news that my Grandfather had passed away.

Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.

Well...Sunday theme day again! I have this thought sort of rumbling around my head all day. After having an afternoon coffee with Miss Mintyfresh I came home and played "dress-up"....this would be my alter ego "Zoe". Not my evil twin per se but she likes to have a good time!

159/365 - Sunday Theme Day - RESPECT


159/365 - Sunday Theme Day - RESPECT
Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.

As a sign of respect in almost any form of the military, you have the Salute. A salute is used by enlistees to show respect to officers and by officers to those of higher rank.

It must be mentioned that "respect" is something that is earned and not just a "gimme" that comes with rank - a notion that many leaders tend to forget.

I went to the hospital today to get to the bottom of why I am getting sick so often. Some blood was taken...perhaps it might lead to an answer. I also got a referral to a nutritionist to see if I am getting all the proper nutrients from my diet (this was my suggestion). I feel like I was telling the Doctor what to do!

I might be covered in tattoos but I HATE needles and taking this picture was not the most pleasant experience, as I am usually looking in the other direction. The lab technician actually had to try my other arm because the blood stopped flowing for some reason!! (She said she might have missed the vein or something...)

155/365 - Queen of Swords


155/365 - Queen of Swords
Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.

You can always count on the Queen of Swords to tell you exactly how it is. Above all else she admires honesty, and she lives by her commitment to being truthful. Lies, tricks and games are of no interest to her, but she's not easy to fool. She is experienced in the ways of the world, good and bad. The Queen of Swords can size up a situation quickly. She understands human folly, but doesn't condemn it. She knows when cow manure is being thrown around and simply finds clever ways around it. She prefers being straightforward and direct. Her observations are candid, but never hurtful. In fact, this Queen has a delightful sense of humor. She likes a good laugh and always has a witty comeback ready-to-hand. She knows that life isn't meant to be taken too seriously. The Queen of Swords is refreshing in her candor and lack of pretense.

This card is from a Tarot deck that a good friend of mine designed - The Tarot of the Cloister. I would like to thank her for allowing me some "artistic allowances".

I found these old pasties in a drawer and remembered that I bought them at a Burlesque Show that I went to in Vancouver. I remember that it was AWESOME and I wished I could become a Burlesque Dancer. There is something so romantic about it....anyone can dance Burlesque..it is about being comfortable with ones body...brilliant! It's also classy!
