I have a few thoughts that I want to get down here on LJ, but I'm having a greater-than-usual degree of difficulty ignoring the fourth wall. It is really important to me that I don't write on LJ as if I am writing TO someone specific, and so I become doubly paralyzed: all too aware of who might read this, unwilling to write things not yet said to ( Read more... )

Shy women will be the death of me.

Show me a shy, beautiful woman, and I am very nearly helpless. I have to know. I have to find out. Getting to know one is like unwrapping a present. Well, at least, it's like the way I unwrap presents. The careful examination of the size and shape of the task, the slow peeling back of layer after layer, until you ( Read more... )

f(AD) called with a photography question, pre-empting the phone call I promised her over a month ago. While talking images, digital technology, never-ending lists of self-improvement tasks, and all the other things that make it seem like I loved her only yesterday, I mentioned Dragon Con in passing ( Read more... )

I spent Thursday night at Lacuna Diving Bunny's place, so that I could try for the early flights to Denver tomorrow, having discovered that there was no way I'd get on a flight today. There was an APA party that I decided to go to, partly because I figured networking would be useful, and partly because I knew LDB needed to talk to Darth ( Read more... )

(f)AD came over on a lark, on an invite, for a giggle. We chatted over leftovers about all things great and terrible and tiny and needful, and then plopped down in front of my raging torrent stream to watch the last episodes of the first season of Doctor Who.

Bought a new computer, which I'm currently emailing you from (I named her Churro). While at Microcenter, I discovered a neat gadget that lets me take an internal harddrive and make it an external USB-port HD that connects to both Macs and WinXP. This means that my old 100GB HD with my entire music (including my personal mixes and CD covers), bit ( Read more... )

Finicky Savage (formerly Deedi Dearest) called me today, and made me hang out with her. I told her I wanted to be alone with my thoughts, wanted to indulge in this thing that I spend so much energy avoiding, but she dragged me out of the house for lunch. Kept telling me I shouldn't think about it, shouldn't let myself get dragged down into it ( Read more... )

Why is it that every time I schedule two shoots in the same day, both models cancel on me? And people wonder why I so rarely use more than one model at a time ( Read more... )
