Already?

Wow. I'm already excited about this weekend (even though it's going to be busy), and it's only Tuesday!

I'm taking Friday off from work and getting a TON of stuff done. Some of it is annoying, like going to the DEQ to get my car registration renewed. But some of it will be fun, too, like meeting and chatting with several different people whom I'll likely be working for or collaborating with in the near future... huzzah!

Saturday morning is a clothing shoot with a repeat client, and matrixleap will be assisting me! That aspect will be interesting; I've never really worked with an assistant before, because I usually either handle things myself, or have Boy there to help me. And we may also be filming a bit, so I can pull together a little promo video.

Saturday night is typsie's luau birthday, which sounds fun and awesome. When it comes to my wardrobe, I tend to avoid anything floral like the plague, but I think I have a cheesy plastic lei kicking around the closet somwhere...

On Sunday afternoon, I'll be doing a fashion collaboration with another photographer, and that'll be really fun. I've met her before and like her quite a bit, and we have some awesome models and stylists lined up, so it'll be a nice chance to play and see how other folks do things. It seems like I haven't shot fashion in forever!

Overall, I'm feeling surprisingly good today, considering I had to get up at 5:45am this morning to drop Boy off at the bus station. I hope this is due to the recent bed improvement.

Oh, and I totally self-timered my new employee photo earlier today, hahaha. I figured I should, seeing as I have ten pounds less fat and ten inches more hair than when I got hired 2 years ago. All of the photos are a definite improvement on the old ones, but today I figured out how I could set up the space to actually *get* some background separation, so I'm liking today's employee photos way better than yesterday's. WIN :D

The only thing I can think of to complain about is that my PAX badge hasn't come in the mail yet. BOO-URNS. USPS has generally been made of fail, lately. They also recently broke the new french press I ordered on Amazon... I pulled it out of the box and whee! Broken glass! Guess I need to find some time to call about having it replaced.

Your hair is looking really nice. I'm liking it long.

You'll have fun with Dusty. I've never met him in person myself, but I'd love to hang out with him sometime. We shot a wedding with an assistant on Saturday (at Holocene, no less!) and really enjoyed it. It made my life way easier.

Thanks! I nearly cut the whole mess off again, but I talked myself out of it for long enough to get *out* of the in-between stage.

Dusty is as rad in person as he is via internet... I feel fortunate to call him a friend :D

I'll have to get a chance to hang out with him in person sometime. You know, that "Go Topless" event is happening Sunday. Maybe he'd like to get together to take some (ahem) *newsworthy* pictures.

that happened to me two times with nice espresso type glasses from amazon that I ordered and had to ship back. The second time I just said forget it. So sad :(

Both times though it was obvious UPS was giving me a box of broken glass they took it back after showing me it was fucked. Good luck with that - that sucks.

And I love the picture!
