3.89 Weeks

3.89 weeks later of living in the country and you'll be leaving the keys in your car, vehicle unlocked. You'll even leave your car running while you shop for soap and treat yourself to a cappucino.

A 72-hour Taste of the Energy Crisis Future

Hip Hip Hooray For NHPS!

Do What They Did in Colonial Times

No internet, no lights, no music, no computer, no espresso, no no no.

Holy Power

Winds were gust-crazy, trees were flying, and power lines went down. The whole town was without electricity or heat, leaving this New Hampshire resort of creatives using pens by candle light, miffed and huddled together for warmth.

Except one Mitchissmo, the only one mysteriously with power.

Yippee, 2006!!


Four hours later:

God, hearing Mitchissmo's gloating, sent another pine tree crashing down, snapping her power and reinforcing the lessons:

1. thou shall not compare yourself to others for your happiness or misery
2. be thankful for what you have, because you never know when it will be taken away
3. (and on that note) God giveth, and God taketh away
4. don't get all superstitious and declare a whole year good or bad because of what a tree can do. [insert forest and tree sayings]

Live Free or Die!

Mitchissmo, her new (used) Volvo, her sweet digs of creative shiznit, and the mandatory camera


Suffer.

Mission M.I.A.

Yeah, we're around. But not really.

As part of Mitchissmo New Year 2006, for the next 60 days (or so), Management has declared this place a photo blog*.

Onward!

*Exceptions will be made for random crap where we are feeling particualrly obsessive, manic or in need of self-destructive distraction.
