Weekend weekend weekend
Jul. 2nd, 2007 11:44 amWeekend was pretty rad, although it would've been better if I hadn't slept like crap on Friday night. I was getting weird jabby pain in my earlobe, of all things. Not inside my ear, just the outer edges. Needless to say, it kept waking me up, so I slept until 11am and still felt like crap. Sigh.
Anyhoo, Saturday we went sailing up the river, and it was an *awesome* day for it. We had good wind for most of it, the sun was shining, and the temperature was perfect. After that, we were super-hungry, so we went to Corbett Fish House, and they had some of the lightest, most non-greasy fish-and-chips I've *ever* had. We had a sampler that included a fried oyster, and I am *still* scarred by the oyster shooter experience last summer, because even the cooked one was kind of gross. No more oysters, EVAR. But the rest was yummy, as was their soup of the day!
After that, it was off to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monkeyhole's shindig! Meeting LJ friends is fun, especially seeing as I've had both him and sarapada on my Friends List for a long-ass time. :D We played some Fluxx, and Guitar Hero, and silly Wii games, and watched animated shorts, and there was good snackage and beer. I am also, apparently, Teh Win at all the Mario Party minigames that involve making wanking motions with the Wiimote. *NICE*. ^^;
Sunday was yet more runway. I'm a bit crabby about it, because this go-round, they had the designers watching and picking the girls they wanted, so even though the previous two meetings were labeled as "auditions," this was the one that actually mattered. ::eyeroll:: I did all right, though, so that's good. After that, I met with a makeup artist who did some crazy doll makeup on me, and then we rolled on out and did some shots. It was unusual working with a photographer that shoots film--it's not all snapsnapsnap like a lot of digital folks tend to do--but I think the end result will be pretty fun. :)
In other news, I keep seeing ads on Craigslist from people looking to have their MySpace page designed by a professional, and I find it... irksome. I understand that it's an easy way to network, but dude, it's MYSPACE. The very nature of the service and the people who use it doesn't exactly scream professionalism to me.
And if that's not bad enough, I don't know if I've EVER seen a MySpace layout that wasn't boring, difficult to read, or completely obnoxious. I almost don't think it's even possible to make a MySpace page that *doesn't* look like it just fell off the fugly tree, and I'd be impressed if someone managed to do it.
Memo to business people: make your MySpace a great big link to your REAL web site, and quit wasting your money on MySpace redesigns! Kthxbye!
Oh yeah, and this week is rad because: PAID JULY 4TH HOLIDAY WOOOOO! Too bad there's not a lot of actual Independence to celebrate nowadays. :p Hopefully, that'll change.
