All Filler, No Killer
23 Sep
Allow me to gush for a moment. I won a new digital camera yesterday!! Samsung has a competition on Twitter where everyday they give away one of their new ST500 cameras, they have little challenges or photo comps and then they choose the fastest reply or the best photo and that person wins a camera. Yesterday, that person was ME! I really wanted a new digital camera, and tried on two other days to win and missed out but yesterday I cracked it! How? Well…they were looking for the funniest picture. All I can say is that the fingerstache just paid for itself! I’ll let you know when it arrives! (If you want to try and win, follow #samsungcapture and play!)
- Winning shit is awesome. I so wanted a new camera to do photos for my online store, but the concept of “wanting” is pretty much pointless when you are living as a starving artist. This has made such a big difference! I am so thankful to have won. Now I just need to find some way to “win” the minimum payment on my credit card…
I got my septum pierced the other day. Reactions have ranged from absolute horror (D’Olds) to truly liking it (friends). I like it, I don’t think it’s glaringly obvious and I have a little nose and a pretty symmetrical face, so it works. It’s healing really beautifully, far better than previous nostril piercings have done, I suspect that the piercing might be as motivated by spite as I am. What do you think? The photo is from me fucking around with Photobooth the other day, I am often slightly more attractive than this picture shows.
- I’m madly making stock so I can open my online store really soon. I was planning to do some photos the day after tomorrow but I think I’ll wait until the new camera arrives, which means I’ve got a few more days to get some more stuff made. I’ll link when it’s officially open. I am feeling pretty chuffed with it, I’ve got some stuff left over from the last time I sold online but also a bunch of new goodies. I expect to be rich and/or famous by Christmas!
- Bootcamp starts again next week. I’ve been off for a month now so I am pretty terrified of how much fitness I will have lost in that time (but not so terrified I’ve been running during my time off). I had some hip pain for a while and it was worse after the Bridge to Brisbane so I saw a chiro to get straightened out (lolz, straightened out). I feel heaps better after only one session – I need to go get x-rays before my next visit, one leg is slightly longer than the other, my shoulders are frozen up like ice and I had so many cracks waiting to come out from all up my back, but that will all get sorted. She also recommended a good massage to loosen everything up, but the idea of being touched by a stranger makes me tense up, so I’m not sure how that would go?
I can’t get over my deep-seated beliefs that all chiros are quacks. I tried one this year to see if I was over it, and when he said “We’ll try twice a week for 6 weeks and then if nothing is better I probably can’t help you” – and when nothing was better 6 weeks later it was “Oh, it’s early days yet!”
Anyway, I too have hip problems and one leg shorter than the other and can’t recommend NST bowen therapy enough. 3 sessions in Feb and I’m just starting to have a few niggles again now. Also helped a great deal with stress/anxiety because it’s holistic and awesome.
