gratuitous picture of myself (for real, this time)

[edenfalling]

For anyone who was wondering what I look like: two self-portraits, taken this evening on my back porch. The first one faces south toward the mulberry tree; the second faces north toward Downstairs Neighbor S's garage. Normally I’d be wearing black or silver earrings, but I wore white ones today to go with the red shirt in honor of the 4th of July. :-)

(As I say in my profile, I have “short brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, a tendency to flush heavily for no apparent reason, and an overall terribly average appearance." I suspect these photos also fall into the long list of ones that don’t manage to capture my smile without making me look like an idiot. Ah well, such is life.)

In other real life news, I did not actually get back to working on the "Secrets" epilogue. Instead, I walked into town with the intention of buying a BLT from Jimmy Johns (a local cheap sandwich outlet), but somehow ended up buying a loaf of sourdough and a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone at Collegetown Bagels instead. Whoops! (I blame snacky's ice cream deathmatch. Totally not my fault.) Then I took a nap when I got home, because fuck summer. No season needs to be over 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Ever. There is no acceptable excuse.

My feet are slightly blistered since I wore sandals for the walk and I have to break my feet in anew every year, but eh, whatever. I have to get that done at some point. It might as well be now, especially since I have tomorrow off from work as well.

I like your glasses!

And if you're concerned about privacy, I think there's a way to lock individual posts so that only the people on your f-list can see them even if your journal as a whole is public.

Thanks! I try to get this general style -- rectangular lenses and gold/brown metal frames -- every few years when I have to get a new prescription. They are pretty strong, as you can tell by the refraction.

I'm not too worried about privacy -- I just like the way a cut tag means people have to actively click to see the photos. Like I said, it's a vague gesture. :-)
