Hello Internets
Aug. 16th, 2010 03:29 pmHello, internets. I haven't seen much of you in the past 48 hours! Can't say I'm complaining, exactly, but hey, whatever. :)
Short version: wedding shoot was exhausting, but
bellybalt and I both survived the experience and came out of it none too worse for wear. After the wedding, I think we lasted through... *maybe* an hour of
_fool's house party? And spent a lot of it griping about the insanity of the shoot day. PBR has never tasted as good as it did at that party. (not that that's saying much, but, yeah.)
Sunday was brunch at Besaw's, which was pretty tasty. Then, a bit of shopping and then heading over to catch Day 3 of the Hometown Throwdown roller derby event, which was awesome, and left me wanting to A) train more, and B) come up with a punnier prospective derby name for myself. Then I headed down and kicked it in the E-U-G, which was a relaxing cap-off to the weekend. And I actually got to enjoy the outdoors for a bit! I've been so nose-to-the-grindstone these past couple of weeks that I'd almost forgotten that I actually like being outside sometimes, heh. ;)
And, I took some PTO today, because after such a draining Saturday, there was basically no way in hell I'd be able to do anything resembling work. I'm doing some shooting for The Job tomorrow and Wednesday, so at least I won't have to go back to my desk right away, even if that almost *does* sound strangely comforting.
Have I mentioned how happy I am that this is the last low-budget wedding I will ever shoot? All that remains from the old business is Alyson's wedding in October, but it'll be a non-traditional ceremony and a Halloween-costumed reception, so I don't know how I could possibly NOT have fun shooting that.
And, I'm spent.
