Quick-and-dirty explanation of what I mean:<br /><br />You're watching a sci-fi movie or TV show set in the future (or a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, whatever). Despite efforts to make the costuming "futuristic" the styling is still reminiscent of a certain era. Voila, retro-futurism.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/SlrKV9I2UAI/AAAAAAAAAxU/WeNYL6JYFp0/s1600-h/uhura.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/SlrKV9I2UAI/AAAAAAAAAxU/WeNYL6JYFp0/s400/uhura.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357817185248366594" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fig. 1: OH IT MUST BE THE SIXTIES BECAUSE THIS MINIDRESS DOESN'T EVEN COVER MY <a href="http://daddylikey.blogspot.com/search/label/Don%27t%20Show-cha%20Your%20Chocha">CHOCHA</a> HALF THE TIME.<br />[Note from a Trekkie: Concerned citizens; be reassured by the fact that every such Starfleet dress comes with standard matching panties.]<br /><br /></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Other trademarks of retro-futurism:<br /></span><ul><li>Shiny stuff.</li><li>Geometric cuts.

Yes, it can be so hot that my eyebrows feel like they're melting into my eyes, but I will still voluntarily encase my feet in leather. Call me crazy if you want! (I don't count that as an insult, anyhow.)<br /><br />Things to consider if you're looking for a pair of "summer" boots:<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Material.</span></li></ul>For the love of everything, get boots in a breathable fabric! Otherwise, your feet will probably end up in moist hell at the end of the day. Good materials to look for are leather or (cotton/hemp) canvas. I know there are also some fancy new synthetic, vegan leather substitutes that are breathable, but I'm not sure of their names.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Socks.</span></li></ul>Unless you are wearing cutout or open-toed boots, absorbent socks (preferably in good ol' cotton) will help keep your feet dry and comfortable. Skipping socks will create a sweaty, slippery mess and make your boots smelly!<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Height.</span></li></ul>Common sense. An ankle boot covers less skin than a thigh-high and therefore will give you less heat troubles.<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">The rest of your outfit.</span></li></ul>Since you're covering your feet and lower legs, let the rest of your body breathe a bit, mmkay? Showing bare skin above your boots is particularly effective, as it allows the hot air inside to escape.<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Type.</span></li></ul>Certain types of boots will serve you better in hot weather, and some are even designed for it.<br /><ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_boot">Cowboy boots</a>: Originally designed for desert conditions. Usually made out of breathable leather. The loose shaft provides some ventilation.</li><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_boot">Jungle</a>/Desert boots: Designed for troops fighting in hot conditions. Find them at an army surplus or army/navy store.</li><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiking_boot">Hiking boots</a>: Usually constructed out of breathable materials. Short shaft.</li><li>Cutout boots: For obvious reasons.

Androgyny is "in", a magazine may tell you, only to advise you to not dress <span style="font-style: italic;">too much</span> like the opposite gender. <span style="font-style: italic;">I can't pull off the androgynous look</span>, fashionistas claim, <span style="font-style: italic;">because I have too many curves, long hair, a very feminine face, etc.</span><br /><br />That isn't the case. I can't stress enough that you should <span style="font-weight: bold;">wear what you want</span>. "Pulling off" an outfit has little to do with what you wear; it's how much confidence you wear it with. Wear what you want. Wear what makes you comfortable. Wear what makes you feel like the fabulous being you are.<br /><br />That being said, the outfits below are merely a starting point - some androgynous looks that I find inspiring.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">♥<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/SfdRpYkLLeI/AAAAAAAAAtA/MqiSmPbGoaI/s1600-h/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFnJtT0JoN016M2hHSjUwZGhiVFRBUmcAAAACaWQKAXgAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/SfdRpYkLLeI/AAAAAAAAAtA/MqiSmPbGoaI/s400/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFnJtT0JoN016M2hHSjUwZGhiVFRBUmcAAAACaWQKAXgAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329818455426936290" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/day_at_museum/set?id=8331283"><span style="font-size:78%;">Polyvore</span></a><br /><br />This outfit is inspired by small children, who we can all learn some lessons from!

There are days when I don't even get out of my pajamas, days when I don't think my outfit is photograph-worthy, and days when I do take pictures but none of them satisfy me enough to post them on the internet. So yes, there are several things that have to go right for you to see an outfit on this blog.<br /><br />But never fear! There are steps that I take to ensure that I have more "awesome" days, and they're pretty easy to implement in your routine.<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tidy your wardrobe.</span></li></ul>Once or twice a year, pull out all the clothes in your closet. Try them on, and toss (meaning donate or sell!) all the ones you don't like/don't wear. (<a href="http://galadarling.com/article/wardrobe-taming-day-one">This article</a> may be of assistance.) Organize the remaining clothing however you like (by color/article/date last worn, whatever's most helpful to you). The point of all this is that you will actually know what clothing you have to work with! An overcrowded closet is a good way to lose a fabulous piece or overlook a funky new combination. In a rush, you might even throw on something that doesn't flatter you or that you don't like, since it's the first thing handy! Don't let this happen to you.<br /><br />Another advantage of cleaning your closet is being able to see your entire wardrobe as a whole. When you look through everything, you can see what items you tend to overstock on (e.g. do I really need more graphic tees?) and which basics you are missing (I really don't have a pair of black pants?)! Keep a well-organized list of these items and take it when you go shopping.<br /><br /><ul style="font-weight: bold;"><li>Collect images that inspire you.</li></ul>I used to do this with fashion magazines, but now in the interest of the environment (and my budget) it is all on my computer. The basic idea is: whenever you see an image that inspires you aesthetically or looks like something you'd like to wear, save it. There are over a hundred (!) fashion blogs that I follow via Google Reader, but you can start small. (I've listed a handful at the bottom of this article.)<br /><br />Although the process of finding and saving images on its own will give you lots more ideas of what to wear, I go a step further. I put each image into a Word document and underneath type what I find so alluring about the ensemble, plus whether there are any items in it I want to buy or DIY. This allows me to use Word's Find option if I'm having trouble thinking up what to wear around a certain piece, style, color, whatever (t-shirt, military, yellow, etc). Instant inspiration!<br /><br />(Oh...and make sure to weed out images you don't care for as your style concept evolves!)<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Plan your outfit the night before.</span></li></ul>This is a <span style="font-style: italic;">must</span>, especially if you often find yourself waking up five minutes before you have to leave for work/school/whatnot. (I know everyone does it sometimes!) Plus, your brain might not be at its most functional or creative in the morning.<br /><br />Don't forget to use your inspiration images to help you put together an outfit! As I said previously, you can look through them for ideas of how to wear a certain item, or let the collection inspire you when you're completely clueless.<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Document outfits.</span></li></ul>For me, this (obviously) takes place in the form of daily outfit photos. I strongly suggest that everyone trying to develop their personal style follow suit. (You don't have to post them on the internet!) If you don't have a camera, the alternative is to write down (and/or sketch) what you are wearing. Take notes throughout the day about how you look, how you feel, what kinds of reactions you get, or whatever else influences the way you dress.<br /><br />Through this process you create a library of outfits that you've worn which you can refer to on days you're stuck or don't feel like trying. The advantage of photos is that you can <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> see how an outfit looks on--sometimes peering into a mirror or trusting others' opinions just doesn't cut it.<br /><br />A few notes:<br /><ul><li>Document inspiration whenever it strikes! Carry a notebook and jot down a note if you see someone wearing something spectacular or if you have a sudden flash of sartorial insight.</li><li>I wrote an article about one of the (weird) ways I put together outfits: <a href="http://thestylishgeek.blogspot.com/2009/01/get-dressed-randomly.html">randomization</a>.</li><li>Gala Darling's articles on the advantages of daily outfit photos: <a href="http://galadarling.com/daily-outfit/daily-outfit-26th-december-2006">Part One</a> - <a href="http://galadarling.com/daily-outfit/the-benefits-of-daily-outfit-photos-part-two">Part Two</a><br /></li></ul>I hope this is helpful!<br /><br />♥Anna<br /><br />P.S.

This post isn't really related to fashion (but I mention Gareth Pugh, so it's okay).<br /><br />I love bad movies. Perhaps better than actual good movies. To fall into this elusive "so-bad-it's good category" takes some skill and/or luck - every bombed film isn't going to cut it. Trust me, these ones are terribly awesome, so check them out via YouTube or Netflix.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">♥</div><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Just Another Romantic Wrestling Comedy<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/ScLrZlW8zjI/AAAAAAAAAg8/8ABXgVz53gM/s1600-h/2804060.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 222px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/ScLrZlW8zjI/AAAAAAAAAg8/8ABXgVz53gM/s400/2804060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315069335008235058" border="0" /></a></div><br />If you couldn't tell from the title, this movie is plain Bad Idea. Summary: Scrawny Jewish boy falls in love with a girl who grew up in a family of professional wrestlers. Hijinks and trouble ensues. Oh yes, don't forget to add in every stereotype about every minority ever, an appearance by the writer (who is playing herself...meaning herself the writer in a scene that shatters the fourth wall), and grade-A movie cheese like an extended flashback into the main characters' childhoods. You have to try <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> hard to make a movie this bad.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">♥</div><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Godzilla: Final Wars<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/ScLri4VxDfI/AAAAAAAAAhE/qW3dpQhKKYM/s1600-h/godzillafinalwars.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/ScLri4VxDfI/AAAAAAAAAhE/qW3dpQhKKYM/s400/godzillafinalwars.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315069494722366962" border="0" /></a></div><br />If this film marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Godzilla series (2oo4) then why do the special effects look so bad? Seriously. You'll laugh at the nonsensical English lines, gasp at the appearance of every Godzilla monster ever created, and marvel at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Frye">Don Frye</a>, god among men. (Trust me, he's a badass. He's also in Just Another Romantic Wrestling Comedy, amusingly enough.) I'm pretty sure there's aliens in this too. Does the plot really matter?

Don't let that deter you. Some crazy man dreams of visiting Mars, where (surprise) the queen Aelita waits. Sadly, she doesn't quite approve of him raising up the Martian proletariat against the monarchy. Who would've guessed? The blatant propaganda is lol-worthy. Also enjoy the Gareth Pugh-like costuming.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">♥</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Starcrash: The Adventures of Stella Star</span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/ScL0UpWNrlI/AAAAAAAAAhk/qNO8nsey3gE/s1600-h/newstella1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/ScL0UpWNrlI/AAAAAAAAAhk/qNO8nsey3gE/s400/newstella1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315079145784192594" border="0" /></a><br />This blatant (but extremely garbled) rip-off of Star Wars is probably best described as a bad porno - without the porn.

The movie takes place in a post-nuclear-holocaust world, where elves and faeries and Avatar, the good wizard, use magic to fight off the technology-wielding Nazi mutant forces of the evil Black Wolf, Avatar's brother. Watching the film, as I did, while bedridden with a fever is not advisable; the movie is best viewed in the company of MST3K fans, or perhaps while under sedation. It can be found in pieces on YouTube, at least for now. I recommend it; you will laugh, you may cry, and you might just learn something.

To give you an idea of what is odd about it, here are a few tidbits: -There are long sequences of pointless banter because the producers could only afford improvisation comedians. -The movie was made in several versions, one of which contains adult language (now on YouTube). -The antagonist creates bombs that explode and create nightmares. Acid trip much? -Is it for children or adults? No one knows.<br /></div><br />♥<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">What are your favorite bad movies?<br /><br />♥Anna<br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2282065843261490028-5622659609297019150?l=thestylishgeek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Anna M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07613300160004156046noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282065843261490028.post-14566445364266634272009-03-18T17:07:00.000-07:002009-03-18T17:20:20.329-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/ScGOqbdTVCI/AAAAAAAAAgo/uhm9shFTaGU/s1600-h/IMG_2489.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/ScGOqbdTVCI/AAAAAAAAAgo/uhm9shFTaGU/s400/IMG_2489.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314685894850204706" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/saxopwned/3360723772"><span style="font-size:78%;">Flickr</span></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><ul><li>Tunic: Love by Design; thrifted</li><li>Leggings: Express</li><li>Socks: Marshalls</li><li>Shoes: Saucony</li><li>Necklace: Hand-me-down</li><li>Ring: Hand-me-down</li><li>Watch: Casio</li></ul>Pretending to be an angsty little girl?

Hopefully this post will serve as a guide for funking up a case of the common outfit (or a refresher for those of you who've been there, done that).<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Scarves, scarves, scarves.</span> I'm talking about lightweight silk scarves, shawls, winter scarves, bandannas, <span style="font-style: italic;">anything</span>; in all materials, sizes and shapes. They're everywhere, they're cheap, and they're probably the easiest sartorial tool to utilize. Fold a square one in half and put it on your head or wear it around your neck (point forward like a cowboy or in back like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Venture">Hank Venture</a>). Use a long one as a belt or a headband. Experiment with where &amp; how you tie it (brush up on fancy knots). Tie one on your belt loop, around your arm, a tank top strap, a purse, your ankle...anything. A piece of scrap fabric works just as well, too.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Layering.</span> I've been rocking the short-sleeves over long-sleeves look forever (and also getting compliments) but only recently diversified my layers. Plain ribbed tanks are a good lightweight alternative to sweater vests over sleeved shirts. Contrasting socks look awesome over bright tights or leggings. Putting a shirt on over a dress turns it into a brand new skirt. If you need help, there are <a href="http://galadarling.com/article/how-to-wear-layers-without-looking-like-a-crazy-bag-lady">innumerable</a> <a href="http://whatiwore2day.blogspot.com/2007/10/layer-it.html">articles</a> <a href="http://www.omiru.com/index.php/2007/10/23/qa-how-to-layer-necklines/">on</a> <a href="http://daddylikey.blogspot.com/2007/04/multi-layered-problem.html">this</a>.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Belt loops are not just for belts.</span> Attach a scarf, necklce, ribbon, keychain, bracelet, toy...anything. Great for a fun look and also an easy way to tie in an isolated color somewhere else in your outfit.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Simple color coordination works wonders. </span>For example, you can go nuts mixing patterns if they all contain the same few colors. If a color looks too out of place in an outfit, find a place for a small accessory in the same color. Sometimes fashion magazines will tell you to avoid being all "matchy-matchy", but I personally think it's crap. Coordinate items most people wouldn't think of, like umbrellas to your outfit or towels to your bathing suit. It really makes you look like you know what you're doing.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Don't seperate your dress-up clothes from your casual clothes. </span>Wear super-fancy pieces with the basics. Why have a bunch of pretty clothes you never wear? I occassionally even dress down my old prom dresses!</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Name your outfits.</span> I think the key to unique outfits is almost treating them as costumes. I constantly dress up (subtly) as video game characters. I'm not talking about full-on cosplay; just try to capture the essence of <span style="font-style: italic;">something</span> in the outfit. Examples of (non-video game- or pop culture-related) outfits I've worn and named: Indie Farm Girl, Tough Love, Ninja Skater, Semi-formal Beach, Hipster Jock, Russian Bombshell. It seems silly, but it really helps. And no one has to know the theme of your outfit but you!

It's late winter, the time to get the virus <span style="font-style: italic;">en vogue</span> if you didn't get it over with earlier. This time around, it seems to be a nasty little number that masks as a common cold but lasts a gross ten days to two weeks. Oh yes, life is hard, but if you become a sicky there are ways to ease your psychic pain, if not the physical.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">♥<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stay home from work/school/what have you.<br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br />It seems obvious, but I see all of you out there going in sick! Whether it's to save up your "sick days" for a vacation, avoid makeup work, or just plain denial, it's probably best for all parties involved if you just stay home. In certain circumstances, this means skipping your exercise routine. If your symptoms are below the neck, like fever, chills, chest congestion, or a hacking cough, exercise could make them worse. But if you only have a runny nose or a sore throat, you're probably okay. Just listen to your body and tone down the workout if necessary.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">♥<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Eat healthfully.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;">You may not have much of an appetite, but if you can eat, try to have a balanced diet. Mild fruits (so the citric acid doesn't bother you) and vegetables are always good. If solids don't excite or agree with you, load up on 100% fruit juices to avoid low blood sugar. (My friends can confirm that I LOVE apple juice.) In any case, drink tons of liquids/water so you don't get dehydrated, especially if you are vomiting or have diarrhea. Dehydration is seriously awful; my mother once had to go to the hospital because of it. Take heed!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">♥<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have rituals.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>I think this is the most important habit for retaining your sanity, but alas, many of us adapted it in our childhood only to abandon it as adults (or near adults). I'm talking about dropping your daily routine in favor of rituals that make it more pleasant when you're ill. Mine look something like this:<br /><ul><li>Play video games all day.</li><li>Stay in my pajamas.</li><li>Take decadent baths.</li><li>Refuse to clean up my room. (This usually results in the floor collecting a mess of used tissues and dirty dishes, which I clean up when I'm feeling better. It feels like a fresh start!)</li><li>If I happen to be at home, my mother brings me juice in a sippy cup. :)</li></ul>Here are some other ideas:<br /><ul><li>Meditate.</li><li>Learn to knit. Wear all of your new creations...at the same time.<br /></li><li>Reorganize your books by color/author/title/genre/cover height/Dewey decimal system/whatever strikes your fancy.</li><li>Fill up a sketchbook with doodles (even if you can't draw).</li><li>Enlist your significant other/friend/child to bring you food in bed.</li><li>Keep a list of everything you want to do but can't because you're sick. When you get better, look at the list and act accordingly.</li><li>Read trashy magazines.</li><li>Make yourself huge smoothies.</li><li>Watch your favorite movies and TV shows over and over again. Throw used tissues at the characters you don't like. Recite the parts you've memorized.<br /></li><li>Give your best friend money and have them pick out a new set of pajamas for you.</li><li>Make a tent over your bed.</li><li>Steal extra pillows and bring all your stuffed animals in bed with you.</li><li>Order some relaxing bath treats from <a href="http://www.lush.com/">Lush</a> for the next time you're sick.</li><li>Write letters to all your friends pretending you're on vacation in some exotic locale.</li><li>Talk to yourself more than is considered normal.</li></ul>Hope you're feeling better already!<br /><br />♥Anna<br /></div></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2282065843261490028-3559263649362271904?l=thestylishgeek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Anna M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07613300160004156046noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282065843261490028.post-57410368064587513122009-02-26T10:17:00.000-08:002009-02-26T10:32:32.490-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/SabdFZ9ijfI/AAAAAAAAAcw/_VVNLUPabmA/s1600-h/3151320672_a335ddfac9_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MvI-o1Xr0Ck/SabdFZ9ijfI/AAAAAAAAAcw/_VVNLUPabmA/s400/3151320672_a335ddfac9_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307172295840796146" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcjohns/3151320672/">Marc Johns</a></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I'm baaaaaaack!</span> It may take a while to get back to</span> my normal posting volume (lots of chores associated with having a computer again), but still.
