Housesitting was grand and lovely yesterday. The place is small, and I couldn't get the internet working, but that was actually kind of a nice break. I threw together some dinner, and they happened to have Bend It Like Beckham in the DVD player, so I just kicked back, ate, and got kitty snuggles. Man, this was a good idea. The only down side is figuring out how to get up to the store for food components.
In other news, I recently decided that the About photos we had on our photography website--which were taken before we even left Eugene, for chrissake--didn't exactly fit where our business has gone since. Boy agreed, so we took some time yesterday to clown around in the studio, and take some shots that were way more fun and "us" than what we had before. I wasn't home to look through them last night, but I think I'll make some time for it this evening. :D
Oh, and I know I've said it before, but: I luuurve my hairstylist. She's such a cool chick. I wasn't getting much of a change in cut yesterday, since I'd decided that A) I want to let the short layers get longer, and B) I want to grow out my stupid, stupid bangs, but I told her these things, and I also told her I was bored of flat-ironing it all the time. She cleaned up my cut, added some layers, and showed me how to make a more natural texture by twisting the hair while blowdrying. I'm constantly amazed at how she creates a look with such seemingly simple methods, and I hope I'm not too impatient or uncoordinated to replicate this myself.
Hopefully I WILL actually have hair pics for you soon, since we shot so many yesterday. I know I'm a slacker about that stuff sometimes. ;)
Work is kicking my ass, but I actually kind of like it. It's been kind of a lift, too, because I'm seeing my work alongside others', and it's bolstering my confidence a lot. Some of it might just be my personal taste, but as far as design skill, I'm starting to think that I and the other web guy are the stronger designers... which is funny, considering we're regarded as being tech-oriented employees.
Anyhoo, I have plenty to do, so I'm off. :)
girly stuff,
