unAPPLE Insomnia photo contest.

Here was my entry for the Insomnia photo contest. The theme was "growth" and I only had an hour to come up with something so I was pretty happy with it. I was disqualified because it wasn't sent in on an Apple computer. Sucks! It took a half hour to upload it because the server was overloaded.

Wednesday Zeppoles

Today I ate 3 Zeppoles at one of my student's art shows. It was a lot of Zeppoles.

Zombies & David Sedaris

WWZD? What would Zombies do? It is the new question I have popping into my head whenever things become overwhelming, boring, or heated. (Also what would I do if Zombies attacked.) I recently saw David Sedaris perform at C.W. Post and he suggested a book to the audience titled The Zombie Survival Guide. He spoke about how it was a good idea to consider how you might react if Zombies attacked in odd situations such as your workplace or the subway. He had a point when he said that pondering Zombie attacks was better than pondering people who had done you wrong. I laughed but later found it a very effective.
It's a bit like getting a song stuck in your head and trying to get it out. Whenever I have a song in my head that I need to refresh I think of the song Secret Agent Man. It works like a charm. Zombie attacks are the same equivalent for obsessive thoughts.
