So this happened today:
Took a ride out to the abandoned air hangers for a few pick-me-up shots. All I could think of while there was Gurren Lagaan and the Storm Eagle stage of Mega Man X. I am so cool. Nerd face, nerd palm. I'll have photatos up on flickr in a day or two along with about a month of others that I never got around to doing.
Who the hell do you think I am?
Working 'till five in the morning every weekend is killing my social life. What little remainder of one that I had anyway. I should start doing things during the daytime hours. Other than sleep and work. Had a productive photoshop day and will do some flickring later in the week when I'm fully caught up.
A conversation I had with Mo on Saturday at work:
Rob: Hey you know Aj left for Venice and Greece with Maryann on a free trip?
Mo: Yeah, I heard.
Rob: His company is fronting the bill from an award he received. I forgot about the whole thing.
Mo: Yeah, it's awesome.
Rob: The lucky bastard. They're coming back engaged. It'll be awesome.
aaaaaand today on Aj's twitter:
Oh man, I am so fucking happy for you two I feel like I could take on the whole empire myself.
Fuck. Yes.
Let's go outside and play Metal Gear!
I'm sure that this is all Hideo Kojima has ever wanted to do.
Hooray for nothing to do at work!
Summer Camp is right around the corner and I am filled with anticipation. It's the best event to work because it is the best event. We set up a shoot the other day for an intro/promo video. Good times were had. Having a reason for not sleeping until the morning is much better than just not sleeping. Sean, Pj and I left the Cinema around 4am and I really missed having fun nights like that.
I'm caught up with all my photomancing. A month in review:
The first, last and only real snowstorm of the season closed the cinema for a day. Joel and I shoveled out our driveway and destroyed a mighty plowline faster than our neighbor finished his smaller driveway with a snowblower. Shovels of Greater Snow Removal for the win.
Jeff started practicing with Cortez the Killer and is now, as it seams, pulling double band duty aside My Black Boyfriend. I'm still waiting to see My Black Boyfriend play a show at a bowling alley. Until then I sit and wait comfortably observing Mike play grab-ass with Kevin.
Wished Jess a happy birthday. Then Drew and Joe a happy birthday. Then Sean a happy birthday. Then my mom and Aunt a happy birthday. Then anyone else I forgot, sorry. I have memory problems and birthdays rank pretty high on the forgot-about-it list. Sean had a really good zombie themed party though. Very cool people I hadn't seen in a very long time and very cool people I'd just met were present. We should hang out more. This happened:
I've been trying to take one day out of every week to devote strictly to getting back into photography - at least to getting out of the house. My photostream is swollen. Gorged on a number of abandoned locales and proof of trespass for each variant.
The best thing to happen? Canti is back to normal after some major surgery involving crazy glue.
Books, Resident Evil 5, constant Left 4 Dead, and many missed hours of sleep.
Thanks internet. You've made my day.
