Bad Tempered Zombie: November 2014
http://www.badtemperedzombie.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2014. Day five of the five day black and white photo challenge. Feet look peaceful in black and white. And they deserve a rest. They work too hard. Labels: five day black and white challenge. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Day four of the five day black and white photo challenge. I am pretty sure that even the most mundane and placid of mid-summer skies would look ominous and threatening when filmed in black and white. Remind me to shoot my next horror film thusly. Interestingly, sh...

Bad Tempered Zombie: zombie smash
http://www.badtemperedzombie.com/2015/04/zombie-smash.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2015. We expected that day one of renovations - bathroom demolition day - would involve exactly that. We didn't take into account the perfect storm of the no-nonsense efficiency of our contractors, combined with the revelation that there was no mold behind those bathtub walls after all. Bathroom demolition - which no longer necessitated any structural restructuring - was therefore complete in a couple of hours. So they kept going. Perhaps the resident kitty won't spend the entire summe...

http://www.badtemperedzombie.com/2015/04/the-hunter-and-hunted.html
Wednesday, April 01, 2015. The hunter and the hunted. I have started to crawl out of my office again. It's been a very productive two and half weeks, with a tonne of articles under my belt, as well as a rush website editting job. I've got a few more articles to write over the next week, but for the next few days it's going to be all reno decisions all the time. Right now they are still duking it out for my love. In more magazinely news, the new spring issue of Latent Image. The great renovation adventure.

trying to be ...: I am being, not just trying anymore
http://barbwheeland.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-am-being-not-just-trying-anymore.html
Trying to be . What it is I am trying to be. Thoughts, views, fears, jokes and questions. Monday, October 29, 2007. I am being, not just trying anymore. I want to write a post about how my life is going now but I feel reluctant. Is it because of work? That's part of it. Work is going well and I have applied for a longer term contract. Is it because I have just started dating again and I am not sure how that will go? That's part of it. It's going well but it's early stages. I don't want to jinx it. 123 I ...

Bad Tempered Zombie: no stepping back
http://www.badtemperedzombie.com/2015/05/no-stepping-back.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. Week two of the great reno adventure did not see any letup in productivity. The addition of a nail gun compressor for the installation of the hardwood floors did, however, ramp up the decibels in the environment. The finesse work that is going into these stair runs is making for a slow start to the flooring, but once the stairs are complete,. Just watch for nails to start flying. Figuratively only, one hopes. We kept the upper cabinets in two of the bathrooms, painting those tired o...

Bad Tempered Zombie: butterless in the burbs
http://www.badtemperedzombie.com/2015/03/butterless-in-burbs.html
Saturday, March 14, 2015. Butterless in the burbs. We did end up throwing out the butter and a bag of sunflower seeds with the old fridge, apparently, something I discovered a couple of days later, when body memory had me reaching for the covered compartment in the right-hand door, which is where the butter resided. I am pretty sure I did one of those classic double-takes when my hand encountered no butter compartment, followed by a rapid internal conversation:. Hey there's no butter compartment, o.

Friday, March 20, 2015. I am deep in the grips of magazine-writing, swirling in a world of interviews and type type typing. Every word is spoken for and I can't spare a single pronoun.

Bad Tempered Zombie: ring the bell
http://www.badtemperedzombie.com/2015/04/ring-bell.html
Friday, April 10, 2015. Hanging out in an unfinished National Music Centre lends itself to photo ops that are rife with compelling shapes and unexpected colours. Just wait until the place is filled with sound. Labels: construction sites as art. Neat shapes and colours, indeed. The soundscape will be worth waiting for, too, I imagine . . . Total environment. The concept is that it will be more like a music festival than a museum, Erik. Its going to be pretty amazing. And beautiful pictures too). Create: I...
