Waah, I'm bored, play with me! (Thread for randomramblingshite.)

Evidently that was my Mom's baby sister's mantra throughout childhood. Annoying as hell. Her sis is still about the same. Whining baby center of attention.

I think I actually took a decent DL photo recently (only three months after it expired.)

Did anyone save a copy of the Valentine's Bunny? Taz?! I'd like to catalogue it with the other seasonal buns.

Here's my filing cabinet at home.

That is all. For now.

WAAAH! Entertain me! Tell me stories, give me personal details!

I've emailed him to you! Still thinking of the entertainment part....

My driver's license photo is terrible. The woman who took it had been (stereotypically for the DMV) an utter bitch during the entire licensing process, and I couldn't help but have a nasty look on my face when she took my picture. Also, I look like I barely have eyebrows in it. I can't wait to move and get a new DL!

My DL picture looks okay. Shane, amro and me still on for a Meetup on Wed?

posted by sciurus 20 February | 11:20

Shoot, how early or late can you do the meetup? I have tai chi class from 7-9:00, and I just went back after ten years off and am trying to be a good kid...

Either way is fine with me. What works best for you, amro?

My current drivers liscence is from Florida. I had been kept waiting for 3 hours, which is why in the photo I look like a damned serial killer. I still have my liscence from when I was 17 where I not only have a resplendent mullet, but I'm also wearing a sheepskin-lined denim jacket (which had a Harley-Davidson patch on the back).

And, shane, I don't care what pictures you post, in my mind you look like Alan Ladd.

My DL pic is ok. I just look like a serial killer. My passport picture, otoh...

Adam and amro, how far are you from Willoughby? It has some nice pubs. But Edison's is cool too, I just have to factor in travel time.

posted by shane 20 February | 12:20

I couldn't make it there until 9, and stuart_s (on mefi) said he can't make it until 9:30 I think - so later would be better. I have to get up the next day at 6 am for school, so I can't stay out too late, unfortunately.

On preview: I'm a bit closer to Tremont than Willoughby, plus I've been to Edison's before, so I know how to get there. But whatever everyone decides.

And porpoise - my passport picture is also horrible. But it expires in two years, I think, so I'll get another shot with that one soon enough, too.

Would maybe The Town Fryer be better location-wise? Or Mitzi's? (Trying to think of somewhat more centrally located places; if I'm just throwing a monkey wrench in the plans, ignore me.)

I've still got one of the old UK driving licenses with no picture on it. My passport photo looks nothing like me, but hasn't stopped me from going anywhere yet.

posted by essexjan 20 February | 12:33

Sorry, I was being lazy. Mitzi's.

posted by amro 20 February | 12:33

I'm cool with wherever. I just picked Edison's because it is within walking distance, and I'm selfish like that.

Here's something to amuse you, shane. Me playing with my camera, myself, and PShop, just a few minutes ago.

(In the last one I'm making bunny ears, but you can't tell, because the image area was cut off. It's hard taking pictures of yourself!)

posted by taz 20 February | 12:51

Cute photos, taz! I see why Mr Taz is happy!

posted by shane 20 February | 12:57

Edison's is okay, although I might be late (or non-existent if tai chi kicks my ass--it's kind of a hardcore class taught by a serious martial artist.)

posted by shane 20 February | 12:59

ah... well, b&w high contrast and halftone screens tend to hide a lot. That's why I'm playing with them.

posted by taz 20 February | 13:03

Hmm, I can't guarantee that I can be there, either (if I've got work to get done for school I won't be able to make it). In the interest of avoiding the possibility of us all standing sciurus up, should we maybe give up on this one and try to come up with a night that's better for everyone?

posted by amro 20 February | 13:04

No sweat.

My current DL picture is the best I've ever taken. My passport photo makes me look like a refugee from the Russian mafia.
