Word of the Day

I've seen, and been inspired by, many "photo a day" projects, so I thought I'd try one myself, with my own little grammarian spin: create a photo using a Word of the Day gadget on my Google homepage for guidance and inspiration. And what better day than January 27, my thirtieth birthday, to begin such an undertaking? (Okay, maybe new year's day, but I was too lazy to bother then.) This project is also to help keep me thinking and creating images the way DGrin's Last Photographer Standing contest has challenged me to do--a challenge I've found really enjoyable and creatively stimulating. Wish me luck (and perseverance) in this endeavor!

    July 19, 2008 (Day 175) Malinger: to feign illness or inability Practicing my "honey do" look for future relationships...To demonstrate how untrue this image is, one of my friends the other day asked if I could rewire an old phone for her to work with a modern jack. When I asked if she had wire strippers and electrical tape on hand, she said no. So I told her I'd bring mine along when next I visited. She replied, "I figured you'd have whatever was needed." :P
    July 18, 2008 (Day 174) Tatterdemalion: a person dressed in tattered clothing I love these shoes...perhaps a little too much. I keep forgetting to take them in to a shoe repair shop to see if they can be re-soled. Of course, I remember every time I reach into my closet to wear them and curse myself anew for not already taking them in.I usually donate shoes or toss them if they're in a bad state, but I can't bring myself to part with these. I hunted for them forever, my Nine West, black satin, kitten-heel ballet flats. No other ballet flats will do.
    July 17, 2008 (Day 173) Anodyne: serving to relieve pain I had much more banal ideas for this word (a glass of wine, a bottle of Bayer), but I'm really enjoying this "extreme close-up" theme/series from the past couple days. I thought of how I usually lie down and close my eyes, placing a cloth over them to block the light, in order to relieve a persistent headache. I wanted to communicate a sense of peace and relaxation with today's photo.On an unrelated note...the most amusing part of my day: answering the door to be greeted by a young man who asked, "Um, is your mom or dad home?" Apparently, this recent vegetarian diet has stripped me of 15 years in two months' time! :P
