You must read this Flintlocke, if you haven't already! XD
Also, check this out: Google kills Mango Sauce. It's a pretty ridiculous story about Google AdSense and the inconsistently-applied rules that come with being in the AdSense program. If you agree, help the guy out by writing an email.
So, weekend was busy, but fun. Friday afternoon/evening was kind of busy; I was in Corvallis for the afternoon, then I came back for wushu practice, and then I de-stenched myself and hurried off for birthday sushi. Birthday sushi was pretty nice; we ended up doing the teppanyaki side of Shoji's, rather than the sushi bar, but I still got to have sushi, and a very large, tasty drink, so that was cool. :) It was kind of hard to hear the various conversations for a lot of the time--teppanyaki is *loud*, y'all--but it was nice to hang out with everyone anyway.
The eco-friendly fashion shoot on Saturday turned out to be good times! It wound up being me, another girl, and a couple of guys in front of the camera. I was a little dismayed to discover that the clothes they'd borrowed for the shoot were all Smalls and Mediums. (I'm currently on the upper-end of Large!) I tried some things on, though, and they had enough stretch that we were able to roll with it. We basically moved around to several locations and did some shots as a group, and some individuals. They had some nice equipment and reflectors on hand that I can currently only dream of getting for myself. ::drool::
Gizmo had fun romping around on Mt. Pisgah, and one of the assistants brought her dog, too, so they made friends. And by "made friends," I mean, "mutually tried to hump each other at random intervals." :) I managed to scratch the hell out of my foot/ankle by running through some prickly plants that were growing under some very tall grasses, and a lot of us had allergy flare-ups with all the grasses and plants around, but it was generally pretty fun.
I also got to keep one of the shirts that I modeled, and judging from the price tags I saw on some of the other stuff, I basically walked away with probably a $50 shirt. Yes, organic clothing is expensive. W00t for free stuff! I'll try to get some photos up eventually, but I think we're kind of limited on what we can share before the magazine goes to press.
Saturday night was also fun--the party was already going when I finally got there, but we had dinner and hung out for a while, and then a smaller sub-set of us decided to go out and do karaoke. The place we went to was basically a cowboy/redneck bar, but aside from the folks who insisted on singing the weepiest country songs ever made (bleh!), it was actually pretty fun. I even think I kinda rocked it on the songs I did, but that's hard to say, because we were all pretty ridiculously plastered. ::rotfl:: I need to do it again soon, though, now that I've found a bit more of my karaoke groove.
Sunday was magical hangover day. ;p Me and J had lunch, though, and I got on WoW later to do some running around in Maraudon. I have determined that I have shit luck with loot and should just give up now, but eh, I suppose that has never really stopped me before, so whatever. :)
Anyhoo, it's Monday. Whee. ;p Wushu practice tonight, and hopefully catching up on sleep, because I'm still tired today.
