Scheduling surprises
Oct. 3rd, 2009 08:14 pmWell, last night didn't turn out like I'd planned at all. I wound up bailing on dancing, because my knee was hurting after I got back from wushu. As ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marykae pointed out, I do have to take care of it, so I decided to take it easy. The Beetlejuice screening got to be way too crowded for us to have any hope of getting seats, so that didn't happen either. Boy put on Evil Dead and I was dozing off by the end of it.
Today, we did the horse farm portrait session, which was FUN, and then wushu, and then I had to crank out a proposal and get issues worked out with someone else's FTP server. And also process some senior portrait images. I'm parked at Muddy Waters, though, so at least I'm getting some ambiance, a hot cup of tea, and a yummy veggie quiche out of the deal.
I also noticed earlier today that I have to shoot the Portland Marathon in the morning. Boy has been so swamped with the studio move that he forgot to mention that they emailed him about it. They tend to wait until the last minute anyway, so I doubt he heard anything from them before this week.
I think races are my least-favorite thing to shoot, and it is entirely because I have to get up at the butt-crack of dawn to shoot them! I actually enjoy watching all the marathoners pushing through the pain, and seeing all the fans cheering and pumping up the runners. People will cheer for folks they don't even know, or people who don't have anyone cheering them on at the finish, just because they're running such a long race. The whole energy of it is really cool, and I always come away from it wanting to run the marathon myself.
But man, getting up at 5:30am to make sure I'm at my station by the 7am start time? Rouuuugh. I bitch and moan about getting up at 7am for work, so 5:30 just makes me want to shoot myself!
Anyhoo, I'll probably be spending most of tomorrow shooting the race, and then taking a nap and otherwise being a brain-dead vegetable afterwards. So much for catching up on sleep! ;p
