i wear you bare
in the heat
we travel miles
across the land
leaving imprints
in the sand
feet, you are so
dear to me
thanks to you
i feel so free"
This Centruroides limpidus, a species of bark scorpion that is the 7th most poisonous in the world, decided to climb up my leg and sting me. Now I'm fine and he is dead (and fluorescent under UV light but that pic is not in yet).
"When it comes to scorpions, the bigger the better. Small one bites ya, don’t keep it to yourself."
Went into the department store with borrowed digital camera, chose a suitable outfit from the racks. Then found my way to the dressing room and there fidgeted with the tripod, the camera screen and the four mirrors. Arm beats tripod, but the lens doesn´t reach all the way to the feet, as originally intended.
But that was before. Now I am in the shadows for a while.
Break the paralysis with action. Even mindless action.
The empty cage where the iguana used to live is a mirror now.
The shadow is me, as seen from the inside of a microwave.

Just my two cents to the overall confusion of the place.
I never knew why we were suddenly all in Wonderland, and I might be stranded there by now: let´s hope there are enough mushroom crumbles left to follow you guys back.
I wonder if we'll learn why you camera was in the microwave.
Neat image, either way.
On the Alice theme, I also don't know what it meant. Perhaps it didn't mean anything much at all. Sure was fun, though. (I also suspect there are only a very few among us who realize both that most of the wonderland denizens didn't create their own icons and that a few of them did.)

You actually remind me of a friend of one of my cousins. Have you ever been to Toluca?
I have, sure. But never lived there.
In contrast, you don´t remind me of anyone I know, so the whole extent of how much I like you is undiluted.
I was just about to write you a "feliz año nuevo" message when I noticed you have edited this. Perfect excuse now. I don´t always find something meaningful to say but I am glad you´re on my friends list: there is a particular resonance with the things you build here, cultural, no doubt, y sin embargo tan sabrosa.
Un abrazo,
Susy Derkins
Igualmente, me agrada mucho al tenerte en mi lista. Tus completaciones siempre me hacen sonreir.
Buena suerte en la jornada, en el mundo en este ano nuevo.

This is how they look 
and this is how they´d sound if the chart is read as music. Yeah, I guess I could also sculpt tbe thing with mashed potatoes...
The robot revolution has an anthem! (You'd think they could have just told us straight out, rather than going through all those annoying shenanigans and making Susy decipher it.)
I've already voted for this player photo, and rightly so...but now where do I express my admiration for this?
Han dado el Grito, Susy?
Feliz dies y seiz!
Lo dimos, señor :) Best part of it was to skip work on the 15th, you know? Blessed national tradition of hacer puente...
How about you? Mole?
Sin mole, nomas una chela. Like every other year past I watch the president on the t.v. and gave it with him.
La tradicion de hacer puente, no la conocen por estas partes. Que pena.
Vote for your levelzero of shifting the medium
A little late, I know, but I didn't see it earlier.
That's a beautiful completion!
Hooray for home-made fake Alice needlepoint images! Nice one.
(And, it seems that I still haven't learned to ignore names and pay attention to real identities. Took me a while to figure out who you are.)
