my life is a snorefest lately

but I’m kind of enjoying it.

My interns were here on Wednesday.  I’m trying hard to get myself motivated to do just a little bit more work (and a lot more marketing).  

I’m sending out this email promo  to all my old wedding/portrait clients

 

bah ha ha!

Today I gave my students a composition assignment. They have to shoot pictures and incorporate elements of design such as line, focal point and symmetry. As I was talking about symmetry one student said “It’s hard to find symmetry! Asymmetry is WAY easier!” I scoffed. 

happiness is only real if shared

Lou painted the wall that faces the kitchen red.  It’s brilliant, I love it.  I can’t wait to have some money to finish decorating the house.  

 

We watched “Into the Wild” last night.  It was the best movie I’ve seen in a long long time.  Loved the whole movie, cried like a baby at the ending.  It hurt.  I had trouble falling asleep because I couldn’t stop thinking about one scene.  Have you seen it?  If not, you Must.  If you don’t mind ruining the ending you can read about it here: http://suburbanvoodoo.blogspot.com/2007/11/happiness-is-only-real-if-shared.html

 

Lou and I have spent that past two days mucking through our relationship.  It’s been hard.  I wish life and relationships were just a little bit easier.

 

We’re going to the beach tonight to watch the sunset.

 

It feels like fall here- cool, crisp air.  But in two days it’s going to be in the 90’s again.  It’s confusing to my sensibilities.

 

I miss you.

yikes

I’m scared by what’s going on with the global economy.  I’ve decided to stop spending my money in such a devil-may-care way.  I’m going to start “living within my means”.  I am really not excited about it.

first day of school

Today I was showing my students on the overhead projector how to use Bridge, the file browsing/editing system that comes with Photoshop.  I randomly selected a folder on the computer that had another instructor’s name on it to show them how Bridge works for file viewing.  As 

uh oh

I’m not feeling well today. I think I might be getting sick. And tomorrow (8 am) is my first class of the new quarter. I don’t want to show up a sniffling, snot nosed grumperson.  

Weekend was uneventful…nesting with Lou on Friday.  Yoga and wedding on Saturday.  Editing a wedding and more nesting today- might tackle my closet.  Wow.  My life is so exciting!  

  It rained yesterday, for the first time in I don’t even know how long.  It’s strange living in a place where it won’t rain for 5 months at a time.  I never realize how much I miss it until it starts raining and the smell of it hits me.  Yum.  I miss thunderstorms.  I miss lobster.  I miss Pants.

it was really good

i heart talking to you on the phone into the wee hours.  i feel like shit today but it was so worth it for all of the giggles we had.  i miss you. meh. PIKA PANTS FOR PRESIDENT!
