meanderings and musings from MissMeliss

Crabby

MissMeliss | September 30, 2008

I’m having one of those days when staying in bed really is the best course of action, because I’m all sinussy, and my ears hurt, and I’m just too crabby to interact with human people and even my dogs are on my list tonight. Just because. I’m hungry, and I don’t have the energy to [...]

Media Monday: Head of Skate?

MissMeliss | September 29, 2008

Too many of my friends on LiveJournal have posted this for me not to jump on the bandwagon. And because, really, who doesn’t need some topical political humor to start the week? See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Debate-able

MissMeliss | September 27, 2008

Fuzzy says I get points for not throwing anything at the television during the first presidential debate last night. It helped that I was watching the twitter feed and laughing at the snarky comments being made. We started watching on NBC, then moved to CNN because, just as my stepfather likes to watch the clothes [...]

Thematic Photographic:Angles

MissMeliss | September 27, 2008

DSC01696 Originally uploaded by MissMelysse. Carmi’s Thematic Photographic theme from this week is “angles,” and the image that sprang to my mind was this one, of a quilt my Bubbie sewed from hand. It began as one of those kits to make a single square, and she ended up having my mother buy several more. [...]

Cafe Writing: Feels Like Fall

MissMeliss | September 21, 2008

No man can taste the fruits of autumn while he is delighting his scent with the flowers of spring. – Samuel Johnson In improvisation, one of our exercises is a game called “Seven Things,” in which we go around in a circle giving each other the challenge, “Give me seven things that [whatever].” We are [...]

Thematic Photographic: Nature

MissMeliss | September 18, 2008

A subject like “nature” is open to such wide interpretation that I’m really looking forward to seeing what the rest of Carmi‘s net buddies come up with. As for me, I snapped this picture of a bird resting in the bird feeder, just before Carmi announced this week’s theme.

Thematic Photographic: Close-Up

MissMeliss | September 13, 2008

Carmi meant for this week’s theme to be macro photography, I’m certain, but I think he’ll cut me a little slack for the picture I’m submitting. You see, it was 3:30 in the morning, and I’d finally found batteries for the camera, and had gone outside to shoot the red ring encircling the moon, when [...]
