Another late one.

As I posted previously, the Fundraiser was a success. We raised a total of $3000 including the online donation site. I'm proud of all the support and all the help we received, and glad it's over. Christine is in Illinois with Lorna and the rest of the family; she was able to give Lorna the gift I mentioned briefly in an previous ( Read more... )

Oh god I'm so terrible about blogging regularly. In all fairness I've done a whole lot in the past couple of weeks.

For now I'm going to try and sum all the photography stuff up simply in this post.

In the last post I mentioned photographing the Bridge to Books event Get A Clue. It was a middle grade mystery event in where the kids got to interact ( Read more... )

In this post, I mentioned the ¡Ban This! event that my library had been planning for a couple of months. In case you don't remember it's a reading/signing of the book ¡Ban This!: The BSP Anthology of Xican@ Literature which was a collabtorative effort by 39 different contributors as a response to Arizona's dismantling of the Mexican-American ( Read more... )

I've been getting more and more responsibilities at work. I mentioned a couple of times that I've been calling companies to try and get promotional merchandise for movies and books related to whatever upcoming programs we might be having.

As I mentioned in my last post Eric and I planned on going to the Queen Mary Haunt. We ended up leaving late because we made a stop at a friend's art show and stayed late to help tear down the event. We arrived two hours late, and I ended up having my wallet chain taken ( Read more... )

Now that I've listened to more than a few audiobooks I have a better idea of what I like.I've discovered that it's just as much about how good the reader ( Read more... )

It's been one of those weeks.

I've been helping Eric move. Which hasn't been very productive: we usually get distracted and end up sitting in his living room watching Netflix and drinking wine. I've been spending so much time hanging out with him that I haven't done anything productive myself except read while he's napping. My knitting projects are ( Read more... )

The concert was awesome. Our seats were at a bit of an awkward angle, but we could still see the projections well enough. I'll post some of the better pictures up and when I upload the videos on Youtube I'll link them.

As I mentioned in a previous blog I'm going to start uploading many of my better artsy fartsy photographs on this blog. I figured I'll start with one of my favorites.
About a year ago a close friend of mine had an abortion and it affected her pretty badly. Having never experienced a loss like that I wasn't entirely sure how to help her. I got to ( Read more... )
