Long Time
no posts.
This summer was rather not what I expected. Some in good ways, some in not so good ways.
So, back in June I auditioned for a play and was cast. That was both good and bad. I had a fantastic time, was cast with
hotspurre where we got to bicker like an old married couple again. Very fun. Rehearsals also chewed an huge chunk of my summer, so I did not get nearly as much done as I'd hoped. Still, the play was a lot of fun, had a great time with some people I'd never worked with before and some I had and yes, I'm still enjoying being on stage.
Work has been. That's about all I can say for it. A combination of good and bad. I'm still not sure where I stand in relation to position, next steps or anything else but I will be playing it by ear. My manager has turned in his notice. Still don't have a last day but that throws even more turmoil into the mix. Right now, I continue to do what I can and move forward.
I bought a new camera. My primary is now a Canon 5D Mark II. I have yet to really exercise it and need to figure out/plan a couple of photo shoots. One studio and one outdoors to get a real feel for how all aspects will come together. One reason is that the body is almost twice the weight of my 20D. Another is that there is no longer a conversion factor for my lenses. A 50mm lens works just like a 50mm lens. I'm quite excited by it however I need to spend some time with it.
I am preparing to superannuate.
fire_flutterfly and
firestarter333 will be coming up for that week and I'm very much looking forward to the visit. I've taken the day after my birthday through the end of the week off, so that will be some enjoyable time with them. Not sure what exactly we'll do, other than First Friday Filk, but I do know it will involve beer. most of it made by firestarter.
I'm way behind on photo editing and the photo of the week. A large portion of that has to do with fitting the play into my schedule and my moods related to work. I'm hoping to change that soon.
I am saddened that most of my friends have bailed for FB. I've tried it again and I just cannot get into it. I get little to know relevant information on people's lives, the interface is annoying and good lord, I don't have that much time to scan through everything to keep up. Even when LJ was at its peak, I could keep up with every journal I followed. FB, I miss probably 90% of the relevant stuff I want to see. It's really quite annoying as a large percentage of people I know have abandoned everywhere but FB. Oh well.
That's enough for now, back to my exciting Sunday of laundry and ironing.
