Uppity Rib » Rib Eye

I used to be indecisive but now I’m not so sure

Decided “uppity rib too” has too many syllables. Changed the Tumblr blog name to rib eye. “babyback” was my first choice but apparently somebody already haz it. I hope they’re happy.

I often think I shoulda been a Gemini instead of a Leo — I’ve got a dual personality to rival Beyonce and Sasha. Or maybe Jekyll and Hyde. Superman and Clark Kent. Ziggy and Bowie. Anyway, my right brain wants to wallow in image and my left in words. Occasionally the twain meet but most of the time, they have separate apartments.

The interwebs is truly a revolution as far as visual stimulation goes. Back in the dark ages, you had to do things like buy magazines and cut pictures out of them and then stick them in your fire-hazard of a filing cabinet. Now all you have to do is turn on the computer and surf for ten minutes to find a year’s worth of downloadable inspiration.

Which is what I’ve spent a fair amount of time doing lately instead of writing. It’s occurred to me that it would be fun to share both sides of my brain with my fellow zombies. Rather than fill up ye olde Rib with my visual scrapbookings, I’ve decided to start stashing them all in a more-or-less-image-only tumblr blog, creatively named uppityrib too rib eye. You can either go there directly or view it from the Rib’s Tumblr page.

I’ve also synched the feeds to the Rib and Tumblr and Facebook and Twitter and Jesus knows what else, I’ve synched the shit out of everything lately. I can’t even remember how I did most of it, it’s all weird web alchemy to me.

artful “autumn”

Autumn is my favorite season and there are many amazing photos of its glorious reds, yellows and blues online.

But I have a gothic streak (albeit one that tends more to the romantic than the grotesque) so I am destined to project myself right into this image of a beautiful girl in a mysterious forest as the summer fades to fall.

This week’s random selection from my favorited Flickr photos. There were many beautiful Ziegfield Girls, but something about this gal seems special.

I’ve been Picnikizing my photos on Flickr and I can’t stop. I think I need an intervention.

Pumpkin carving in Kevinsylvania

Kevin and I carved pumpkins this Sunday with my sister and her kids. Because we are such good role models.

Sunset over Salt Pond Beach on our last day in Kaua’i.

I’m spending my Saturday morning uploading the best trip photos to Flickr. I’m sure by the end I’ll be wondering why I ever came home. Oh yeah, my mortgage.

After reviewing the photos, I’ve decided one of the reasons I like Hawaii so much is the prevalence of bright colors in nature there. Red, purple, yellow and orange are everywhere, not just in planned gardens.

As opposed to the Pacific Northwest. PNW is beautiful, too, no doubt about it, but somewhat monochromatic, even in spring.

Did you know native PNW’ers have 50 words for “green”?

UPDATE: I’m done! View my Kaua’i photos here.
