Globophobic
So I've been wondering why they have the same name for fear of balloons and fear of globalization. Globophobic. It makes more sense that it is fear of globalization. I also found a different name for fear of ballons - Pallophobia. Phallobobia, on the other hand, is fear of the penis, especially one that is erect.. It's all very confusing.
Whatever the correct name is - my fear is of balloons. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit by calling it a fear. I just can't stand watching people blowing up those latex ballons. I don't mind hot air balloons and mylar balloons is it? And also if you fill the latex ones with water, I'm fine. It's only the filling it with air part I hate. I don't particularly like the balloon once it's filled either, but I can hold it, or even pop it if I have to (I very rarely have to...). But whenever I see someone blowing up a balloon I start to cringe and have to look away, or leave..
Oh, a Kevin Spacey movie - have to see what it is.
I suck at photography!
Can't sleep, so I thought I'd see if my scanner still works. Just got some pictures back that I took at some of the concerts I went to. My god, I need a better camera. One with amazing zoom, that is small enough to smuggle past the security...
I think I was one of very few people that had a camera at the McCartney concert. But the pictures still look like I took them with my cellphone.. If I look closely I can kind of see a little red dot on stage.. That's Paul... Or at least that's what they said.. It could just be a stand in. And they just showed a previous concert on the big screens..
At the Quart festival I got a bit closer to the stage. So you can almost see who the pictures are of. I can see it, but that's probably just because I took them...
At the Grant-Lee Phillips concert I stood really close to the stage. But I didn't want to use the flash and blind the poor guy.. Well, I did a few times.. and of course those are the only ones that came out reasonably ok..
Got a lot of nice pictures of the back of peoples head though...
Hmmm... how do you link pictures.. I'm so extremely dense when it comes to computers.. Let's see..
