Excerpts from the Clark Kent realm of my Superman life

By Friday Puppy

So…I forgot it was Valentine’s Day until JUST NOW!  One day away from Facebook and I’m already forgetting a minor holiday without other people to do the remembering for me.  Oops.

Anyhow, whilst I would love to regale the Puppies with more stories of drunken shenanigans spotted around town, this week I didn’t have enough time with my friends to get any writing-worthy scoops.  Instead of that, here are some snapshots into my week, and into my brain.

In the Clark Kent realm of my Superman life, I’m a corporate photographer.  I work for myself, which is sort of like having a bossy boss who expects me to do all the work and never lets me take a lunch break.  I’m also a terrible employee.

Here are three peeks of a fun photo shoot I did with my friend Jenn (with the fabulous Katie Pray as our set dresser) at the Women’s Club of Albany, which is a very cool organization and is great to join if you’re into being a woman and being part of a club.  You can also rent out their Victorian mansion for a huge discount if you’re a member, which I may do so I can cartwheel around their upstairs ballroom and play Chopsticks ad nauseum on their gorgeous Steinway baby grand piano.

The best sentence of the week, from a networking event I attended: “Oh, you’re Carlene from Skinny Puppy!  Yeah, someone was just talking about you and your pepper spray story!”  My fame precedes me…?

Came home to discover this resting in front of my steps:

I love it because it means one of three things:

1.  This girl failed to notice a chunk of her fake hair fall from her head to the sidewalk.
2.  She ripped her fake hair off her own head.
3.  Someone ripped her fake hair off her head for her.

I loooove living in downtown Albany because this stuff keeps me entertained for days.

In other local news, Albany residents living near Washington Park will be very excited to hear that I have purchased an electric-powered racing buggy and will be hosting crazy racing matches on Saturdays in the park!!

Oh wait…that’s what the person in India who stole my credit card information was trying to do when they rang up $1,050 of hilariously inappropriate charges on my account.  Word of advice, buddy: next time, buy $1,000 worth of shoes and/or purses.  I can guarantee the bank won’t find that to be “suspicious activity.”
