7:40 show. it was good, aside from the three year old girl calling to her parents the whole movie about some stuffed animal named 'turkey' and asking why the movie was so loud (so we can't hear her asking said question— ironic, isn't it?)



fyi: stay until the end of the credits.

overwhelmed.

at the lake there is no internet— it was good for me. now I am home and kind of caught up.

i'm honored, as always.

to quote gattaca: "i'm luckier than most; but not as lucky as some."

night.

I broke my most cherished camera.

yes, it's true i bought it off craigslist for $30 two years ago— but frick it took awesome pictures.

long story short my exposure needle doesn't work anymore, and my shutter speed is now one speed. what speed is it stuck at? no idea.

i took it apart to try and fix the exposure meter that was floating around my view finder and i wound up doing more damage than i started with.

i'm really bummed.

if anyone has an olympus 0m-2n sitting around let me know... i could always look on craigslist—


but it just wouldn't be the same as the first, would it?

my eyes are burning a bit (not from a lack of crying mind you)

i think i just survived a mini tornado (or 'ternada' depending on your origins)

i can't beat that damn [gta] level. i always come in 2nd or 3rd place and it's driving me [literally] crazy. i've been trying for three days now.

i feel a bit better, thanks for asking. tomorrow i have a shoot that will be tied with another project i'm working on [not that any of this matters to you]

i finally finished the set i was working on, it only took me three weeks of photoshop madness to complete. but alas it's done. hopefully it will be coming to a front page near you soon, as it were.

stay crushin', yo

[i sound so gang-star and silly]

today, i'm lacking any sort of life all over.

to quote Mr. Patrick Bateman: "...there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there."

just went pro on <flickr.com> and opted for the two year deal. i saved, like, a dollar.
oh, and my credit card has a crack in it— right on the magnetic strip (why does it always do that?)

first time an image has inspired me in ~two weeks:

wedding was great, including a truck hitting a power line and knocking out all power in a two mile radius.
texas in may + no ac + wedding = a lot of hot people.

figuratively and literally.
