Author: Johnnyboy

Johnnyboy is a queer recovering alcoholic. For the moment he is also the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from age-related cognitive impairment. She is happy as a lark and is surrounded by a crew of sober women which gives him the freedom he needs to get out of town. When he is not at home in Somewheresville, he is searching out the proper path to travel for happiness and joy. He is a photographer who believes in the digital age, but feels that film is still where its at. He has a darkroom and works in it. He is single and is in remarkably great physical condition for all the damage he has submitted his body to. His cardiologist is very happy. Johnnyboy is over the age of 35.

PC MD problems…

07/09/2008 Johnnyboy

So I decided to upgrade my PC Doc software tonight.

After paying for a new subscription, I activated the stuff. I then spent the next hour trying to get the damn thing to work with my system. In the end I was able to go into Add/Remove and dump the thing completely. Previous to that movies would not play, McAfee would not load, I could not access my Start menu, etc…

Now it is running just fine. I doubt I can get my $39 back…

The End of Summer…

31/08/2008 Johnnyboy

The cicadas are buzzing easily in the green leaves outside my office window. The Little Blue Heron that has decided to call my pond home has been awake for a few hours now, it’s breakfast complete with frogs, tadpoles, insects; mine with juice, vitamins, coffee, and toast as I watched her walk slowly on stick legs…It is sunny today, and is supposed to be quite hot, in the 80s, but the nights are deliciously cool, ideal for sleeping. This is a steady weather pattern for the next few days, and summer is turning a corner, bending the morning light as it moves from view. Sunbeams now stream through my eastern windows, waking me unlike my now unused alarm clock.

School officially begins on the 8th. I cannot access my on-line art course until tomorrow, but that’s alright. I have begun some reading for my ‘Commie’ class. but I want to finish two books this week and begin some others. Then it is paper writing time…My first telephone lecture/discussion is on the 18th, but I would like to have one paper all but finished by then.

I have discovered that a good friend of mine used to be the staff photographer for a local weekly and still has all the darkroom equipment. All that is missing is the room itself and the chemicals. Chemicals I can get, it’s the space that seems to be a tough nut to crack. So anyone with any ideas, short of setting up in my bathroom, please share…

It’s Sunday, the day before Labor Day. I feel distracted and odd. Maybe I should get out of the house and go take pictures…Just drive. I’m allowed to do that.
