Stop SOPA and PIPA!

My site will go dark on January 18 in protest of the U.S. Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT-IP Act (PIPA).

On January 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill—PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House—to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity.

I personally feel very strongly about freedom of expression. I believe strongly not only in people’s self expression, but in the free form of that expression.

Help fight against internet censorship. Call your congress person and express your commitment to the free expression of ideas, as protected by the U.S. Constitution. Learn more at SOPAstrike.com and AmericanCensorship.org.

Until next time...

13 on 13

So I'm doing my very first "12 on 12". But on the 13th. Since it's a Friday the 13th. And since I tend to be contrary like that.

13 pictures taken on the 13th of the month. All pictures were taken with my iPhone. Click the images to enlarge, if you dare!

Created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then link back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, so I linked to Blobby's Blog as Blobby is the one who inspired me to do it.

10:01 AM: Brush, brush, brush. Brush, brush, brush.


20120113-224535.jpg
10:02 AM: µ probably wonders why us pink-skins put on clothing. Actually, she probably wants me to hurry up and put my clothes on!


20120113-224551.jpg
10:21AM: Suiting up. My feet. Which reminds me, I need to tell a humorous story about this pair of Chucks.


20120113-224605.jpg
10:30 AM: Essential head gear for the 20 degree weather we're having today. Not a fan of the cold. Ever. And we still have snow on the ground from the dusting we received the day before.


20120113-224630.jpg
10:42 AM: Returning a disc back to Netflix. A Doctor Who episode or two. I may or may not be making "archival backups". Just in case. I really need to buy every episode made, which hopefully I can do one day when I'm rich.


20120113-224643.jpg
11:34 AM: Preparing my room at the studio for the day. All cleaned and mopped.


20120113-224655.jpg
11:39 AM: Making tattoo care instruction sheets. Because it's important.


20120113-224707.jpg
2:59 PM: Got my hair cut. Again. So much maintenance these things are.


20120113-224720.jpg
7:18 PM: A quick snack between tattoos.


20120113-224736.jpg
9:57 PM: Leaving the studio for the night.


20120113-224753.jpg
10:24 PM: The product I ordered December 8, 2011 FINALLY came in the mail today. Over one month after I ordered it. I definitely don't recommend ordering anything from Pet Street Mall if you're in a rush.


20120113-224807.jpg
10:27 PM: Dinner. The Husbear made some chili.


20120113-224831.jpg
10:39 PM: My entertainment unit/work space. This is pretty much where I park my butt at night once I get home. The Husbear is usually in bed already. And I usually have tattoos to draw, paperwork to work, blogs to read, and Doctor Who episodes to watch.


20120113-225034.jpg
Bonus: 10:49 PM: Someone got a Friday the 13th tattoo today!

Until next time...

Cup of Brown Joy

I present Professor Elemental's "Cup of Brown Joy". An English chap singing/rapping about tea.

Trust me, it's worth it. Totally.

(YouTube link)

I'm totally intrigued.

Hat tip to Gavin!

Until next time...
