HNT - Entry Five

Image
Right Arm & Shoulder Originally uploaded by lightnyn . Oh my goodness! I'm doing on the right day. Something must be wrong with me. :) Another photo that I can be proud of due to the definition that I have in my shoulders. Although, if I were to get a little bit more in shape, some of those muscle lines would really highlight themselves. Please let me know what you think, and Happy HNT!

HNT - Entry Four

B&W Boxer Briefs Originally uploaded by lightnyn . So, yes, once again, a day late. And while I think this photo leaves much to be desired (where's the artistic touch?), I'm sure some of you will enjoy it. Regardless, I apologize for being late to the HNT game, but at least I'm here. (I've had lots going on, and plenty to post about. Stay tuned.)

HNT - Entry Three

Vertical Leg Originally uploaded by lightnyn . Hey Gang! I wanted to let you all know that I'm sorry for having missed HNT last week. Things got away from me, including sleep, so it wasn't until Friday that I even noticed that I missed it. As penance for this greivous offense, I thought I would post my HNT early for your viewing pleasure. It's also that we're heading out of town today for our Disneyland adventure, sans 2-year-old, and very much looking forward to enjoying ourselves. Have a great weekend & Thanksgiving! Eat a slice of turkey for me, and in another week, I'll provide a more intriguing photo for HNT. P.S. I know that this photo is a bit dark, and I apologize for that. Since my computer has been on the fritz, getting large apps to run has been a challenge, and both of my image editing programs fall into that category. Christmas will hopefully bring a new laptop. Cheers!

Happiness?

The New Monogamy - Marriage With Benefits During my (late) lunch, I just read this article that I had printed earlier today. I think the original link came from Viviane's Sex Carnival . Regardless, I have to say that it was extremely interesting. I liked how the article, by two traditional monogamists, looked at all aspects of alternative lifestyles. They focus on the good & the bad. They give examples of those that succeed, as well as those that failed. And I'm just intrigued. I have a cousin who is about 10 years my senior, but I haven't talked to him since the one summer during high school. I was visiting for about 4 weeks, which was fun to get out of my hometown for a bit. During my time there, I was a bit amazed at some of the things he talked about, and a willing & eager sponge for knowledge. Let's be honest. I think I was 15 or 16, and a boiling mass of hormones. Anyway, he had this theory that everyone should have: a therapist, a sex counselor, ...

Broken Heart

Yep. My heart broke last night. I was helpless. My wife & son are currently back in New Jersey because K's grandmother fell last week and cracked her hip. Now, understand that it's not broken. Just cracked. And since she's almost 80, there isn't much to be done other than prescribing pain killers & plenty of bed rest. Or rest in general. And since my wife is newly without a full or part-time job (good thing), she is the most mobile person of the family to go help. So on Thursday, we made arrangements for her to fly out with the on Saturday with the LD in tow. I helped plan the packing, and help her get stuff together to head out. Well, things have been good, because her uncle has also been there helping Grandma. However, being a Bostonian, the commute over the last month since the death of the other uncle has been taking it's toll. He's exhausted (who wouldn't be), and hence why the phone call to K asking for help. Well, yesterday coincided...

Firefox Hates My CSS

Alright... well, I'm slightly pissed. I spent tons of time on Friday, which I'll admit was quite fun, messing around with the styles in my blog to make that really cool effect around my photos. Only to find tonight, that it looks great in Internet Exploder, but like total crap in Firefox. So now, I need to go back to the drawing board to figure out what went wrong. [For those of you that use Firefox exclusively, I had made the effect around a photo to be a kinda wide grey border (working), with a slightly thinner black border surrounding the grey. Like my own special matting done on framed photos. But, as you can see, it's doing the grey perfectly, and the black is... well, smooshed. *sigh* If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, I'm all ears.] Never fear, I'll resolve this soon. I hope.

Flickr Fun
