A while back, I claimed that Larra and I would post a new video of our furnished and decorated apartment once it was furnished and decorated. I finished furnishing a couple of weeks ago, but we've been busy with a number of small projects since then (see entries I never made re: dealing with Social Security, hosting Christy and Mimi, general work wackiness, ongoing dialysis, etc.)
Our plan was to "film" the video this week and post it soon thereafter. Unfortunately, something happened to our digital camera. The viewfinder is cracked, and the display is completely broken. We assume it was dropped, but we don't know when or how that happened. To summarize: no new video of our apartment will be seen here.
Also, quite a while ago, several people requested pictures of my "new look." This picture is my new facebook profile picture, but I'll post it here, too. For those of you wondering, this shot was taken by
Laura Domela, who is an artist specializing in photography. She is also Larra's stepmother. She has been using this treatment on a lot of her portraits lately because it makes them look hyper-real.
This filtering process means that you can easily see the scar from my central line, as well as the dandruff on my shoulders and where I did a poor job of shaving. Unrelated to the filter, you can't see that I'm wearing jeans, or that my shirt is untucked, but these are both major changes to my appearance, as well.
