So this weekend wasn't too bad. Worked all day Saturday which is not unusual. My first assignments of the day was to shoot an in store appearance at a Wal-Mart of Susan Lucci, of All My Children fame. She was signing photos and bottles of her new perfume. The appearance was at 9:00AM. Some of the fans were there by 5:30 AM to be first in line. One woman got so flustered she fell out of her chair after sitting with her briefly to get an autographed photo. Note to Wal-Mart: chairs on wheels....bad idea. My mom is a big fan of the ahow so i got an autographed picture for her which i'll frame and give to her for her birthday.
The rest of the day included an assignment for a spanish speaking newspaper about how families from different spanish speaking countries celebrate christmas. The asignment was to take a portrait of the family but then the kids stated hanging up the smaller angels over the parts of the big angel that didn't light up. So i got a nice photo out of it.
The last assingment was the usual rich suburban church feeds poor people and gives toys for christmas story. But its just a lure to get them all fed and lethargic and make them sit through a service afterward. All hellfire and damnation. I just wanted to get out of there...church staff kept bothering me and trying to help but in that situation i work better alone. I just wanted to get out of there the lighting was challenging and i was already tired and annoyed. I just wanted to get out of there.
After going back to the office to turn my stuff in, with just enough time to get home walk the dog and drive to Dallas for a party. i was already late but one of the other photographers decided to lock his keys in his car so i had to help him out. Making me later for the party i was already late for. Bunch of my wiccan friends were throwing a party for all the Saggitarians. By the time i had gotten there much drinking had ensued and since i live the farthest out i had to start drinking immediately so i would be ok to drive later. We need a Shiner Bock STAT!!! most of the people there i hadn't seen in about a year but it was cool. We all get busy in our lives but the time didn't do anything to diminish bonds. Got to meet some cool new people and requaint myself with not so new ones. At some point someone played this video. Now i can't get this song out of my head. Now i share it with you.

Got a little flirty with a girl who was very touchy feely for having a boyfriend that lives out of town. She was complaining that her high stress level needed to be reduced and he wans't doing the job. But unfortunately it never got past the flirting. There was also an unusual amount of women at the party grabbing my ass and demanding birthday lapdances. there was not enough alcohol in me for that. There were some birthday spankings administered however. Anyway there was more drinking some talk about politics, religion, being slutty, and then it devolved into an alphabetical sing along. Went throught the alphabet naming a band from each letter and proceeding to sing a song by that band. Bunch of drunk singin fools. It never did devolve into an orgy. Not nearly as cool as the party JamieLee went to but oh well.
sunday was a chill day. sleeping in and playin Halo 2 after finally getting my refurbished XBOX in the mail. Played it for a little while then gto up to shower. came back to play some more only to discover that my friends dog, which i was watching for the weekend, chewed the cord making the controller useless. So after waiting a month to play this damn game i got to play for about 2 hours. Gonna go score a wireless controller....my friend is gonna pay for half.

Thank you so oodles for your comment on the pic! I have been practicing with photoshop more of late to do creative things and not just use it to adjust color or contrast.
Do you freelance all these photo gigs you speak of, or do you work for someone? I was just wondering as you always seem to be such a busy bee.
OK that vidio is sooooo creepy!!!!! I am going to be singing that on the bus on the way to work now... Maybe the crazy people won't sit next to me if they think I am touch more touched than they!
