I know, double posting... I keep looking through my images from today and I'm so pleased by so many. I took almost 900 images and after sorting through them all I still have just over 700 that range from good to amazing. I seriously killed it today and I am very happy and proud. I think this was my best wedding gig ever. I think it's damn amazing considering patchy lighting and tough angles. I love my camera.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

We're dispatching Thor. Due to old antipathies, he's not playing nice with the giant-brethren Kõu and Pikker, and all the time keeps arguing wildly with Ukko about the comparative size of their hammers.aliantha wrote:Send 'em over here!

Magickmaker and I hunkered down inside all day today. We have to go out tomorrow, tho.
Way to go Jenn!

Jenn, I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that the Universe has handed you the OD job, where you're overworked and under-appreciated, to give you the kick in the ass you needed to get your photography business moving. Get those business cards ordered!

Easiest move ever. I have everything boxed and packed before my friends showed up (it helped that they were late ), and everything fit into the back of an F150 (small pickup). Great weather so nothing got rained on, and it was only a 20 minute ride across town.
Then we went out last night. Since I'm not used to coming home to the new place, I almost missed the last bus out here! But I caught it, and even managed to recognize my stop
Now I get to unpack. Shouldn't take more than a few hours.

Yay for traveling light. Glad it went well. I still have some mixed feelings about my whole situation, though now it's mainly due to my upstairs neighbors and their nightly circus. Anyone have suggestions for a really cheap way to soundproof a ceiling?
That's totally awesome, Jenn.

I overdid it today at the beach. Someone needs to remind me that I'm an old woman and not thirteen anymore so I need to stretch before just taking off across the sand running with my dog. My buttcheeks are already sore. Tomorrow might not be so fun gimping around.

favorite out-of-context quote of this day.Cameraman Jenn wrote: My buttcheeks are already sore.
spent three days of with julie. we watched all the harry potter films on dvd then saw the newest at the theater. julie loved them. (i did as well, enough to likely read them now)
julie has started getting into the genre now. she liked some of the stuff from the 60's and 70's. the batman tv show and the original star trek. (she and i just love william shatner)
and we loved lost, but i don't think she considers that genre, she just loved the story. she has enjoyed a few graphic novels. kingdom come (she loves alex ross' art) and the golden age.
she has even said if i can find all TC on audio she will try listening to them. i will check with my library system.
great three days spent with my favorite person, other than myself of course.

Egg crates have potential. Cheaper than cork (my first idea) or foam, and lighter than carpet, though all of those would probably work. My upstairs neighbors have acquired a child that appears to be the offspring of Godzilla and the Energizer Bunny. I don't believe it's their child, so there's some hope that it will eventually return to whatever hell spawned it, but it's now been a week of it thundering in circles screaming all bloody night. I haven't even met these neighbors yet, and would like to get along, but I have not slept in a week and I can't wear earplugs because I get up for work at 3AM and would sleep through the alarm.

If it turns out that Rosemary's Baby is there permanently, I have a suggestion that does not involve confronting the neighbors or missing work because you slept through the alarm. Visit your local shop that caters to the hearing-impaired (or shop online...) and look into alarm clocks that either flash your room lights or have a shaker that you put under your mattress, or both.
These really work well. Dam-et was born deaf; during the day, he wears a cochlear implant and passes as a hearing person, but when he takes it off (to sleep, bathe, etc) he has no awareness of sound whatsoever. Dam-sel and I decided some years ago (when he became a teen) that it was time for him to not be dependent on us to wake him each day, so we bought him one of these alarms. He uses both modes. The flashing light he treats like we hearing folk treat a clock radio...notice that time to rise is imminent, but not necessarily immediate. When the shaker kicks in (set as a second alarm a bit later), he knows he'd better get up-and-at'em.
About $40, not expensive at all. Sleep soundly with your earplugs and still wake up on time...without having to confront your neighbors about their child and lack of considerate parenting skills.

That is an utterly brilliant idea, thank you very much. Seriously. I am trying to maintain a positive attitude about life in general right now, which isn't easy for me at the best of times, and I am really on the verge of losing it from lack of sleep.

Off for another three hour commute and it burns me that I have to go spend more money on work shoes since my old ones are falling apart. Ugh.

I'm staring down the barrel of 40 (less than 1yr now)...funny how my definition of 'old' keeps shifting further and further out.
Besides, I still haven't figured out what I want to do when I grow up.

I'm gonna be a hermit when I grow up. Find a nice cave somewhere and turn my back on this so-called civilization. As long as I can have KW and WoW and running water... hmm... maybe this needs a bit more thought.
And ugh to work shoes. I had to buy new ones yesterday.

Trying to work out where I want to live. As usual I have no idea what I want. For some reason I've latched on to the idea of living somewhere convenient for the city centre, which is not at all convenient for work (different city!), and despite the fact I'm a totally unsocial person who probably wouldn't find anything more to do there than wherever else I went.
I can't seem to articulate what I want, or why I don't like the idea of living in so many of the other, more convenient (for work) places where the properties aren't really any different.

oh and, i'm a big proponent of going with the gut feelings and paying attention to your inclinations and intuitions. i say go with it.
