So Frustrating!

I have been trying to upload some pics onto the blog for about five hours now.......sooooooo frustrating!!!!! GAAAAAAH!!!! I am actually at work right now and I was hoping that the internet was going to work faster here but no.......so I have no clue to what's going on. Are both my laptops not agreeing with me or is it the internet connection? So while trying to upload the pics at home I occupied myself with staring out the window at the never ending snowflakes coming down.......I swept the downstairs (I have bamboo floor downstairs mainly), did the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, walked Chhaya, made pancakes (again), ate, took a bath, washed my hair and brushed my teeth.......still no upload. WTF?!
Anyhow.......another kind of boring and gray day here, I did get myself out of the house and to work but so far there is not much going on here besides that I am getting nausea from all the cigarette smoke.......bleh. Why do people smoke? Me don't like.
Here I am with the laptop earlier in the day........



They have a local weekly free newspaper here called the Redoubt Reporter and let me tell you......it's like the most boring newspaper......ever. It's not like the Las Vegas Weekly......
Actually this week there is an interesting article about a horse stable here, makes me want to start riding horses again, I love horses. Then there is an article about how many brown bears they think live here on the Kenai Penisula. 624 supposedly. That is not how many brown bears that exist in Alaska, just around here where I live. And then they talk about some fishing business. Super exciting! I think they NEED something more lively, pink, glittery and fun in this newspaper, so people around here can look forward to picking it up on Wednesdays when the new edition comes out. Especially now, in the middle of the gray and heavy winter season. I think they need some Tatiana to write for them! I mean, imagine how many fun and interesting things and opinions I can share with the readers of the Redoubt Reporter!



And my pic FINALLY got uploaded, so much trouble for one pic of my tramp stamp. This is from when I worked in Grand Junction at a club called Fantasy. Some girls there went by a first and last name, me and Claudia thought it sounded kind of hilarious when the dj would announce them by a first and last name. Kind of pompous. So of course we came up with last names for ourselves also and had many laughs about it. I became Tatiana Tornado and Claudia became Claudia Cucumber. I found "Tornado" written in some magazine, cut it out and plastered it on my lower back, my tramp stamp! Than was almost two years ago now, time goes fast!



The feminist in me is of course totally against using the word tramp stamp to refer to a tattoo on a woman's lower back. Tattoos and a persons sexuality are not correlated. Also.....what makes somebody a "tramp" exactly? Some thoughts here late night in a snowy Kenai......surrounded by 624 sleeping brown bears.
