With a bonus Thursday moment -- if any of you ever get to see Dave Weisler play, DO IT.  He was awesome.  I would never have guessed that I could've danced contra to a honky-tonk piano piece :D

Yesterday was nice, though it felt abbreviated -- just a class all morning, which was a surprising break from routine, then some work in the afternoon and home relatively quite early.

TODAY, however, was completely awesome.  I had promised to show up to Gazela to finish a project I've been letting go by the side for, oh, a month or two, so dragged myself up and out and down to the ship earlier than I would have liked.  Where I was put to work cleaning out the galley and sluicing the deck off.  Raced out of there at 11 to go see the Yarn Harlot with melosond.  I've been reading Stephanie's blog for a few years now, and always found her funny and nice and down-to-earth, but oh my stars she's an *awesome* speaker.    Just totally inspiring and hysterically funny and I love her and I'm totally in an audience picture (probably cussing my phone out) and she was so so so lovely.  And then she signed my book, and you guys?  I asked her a question and didn't yammer on too much and made only a partial ass out of myself and now?  Now I know the Yarn Harlot's method for tricking people into becoming knitters.  NONE OF YOU ARE SAFE.  She was so awesome.

Got drenched on the way home, but even that was fun.  Knitted, of course, while futzing around.  Tried to watch The Last Sin Eater, and figured out pretty quickly that it's an unbelievably terrible movie, and I should've just gone to the source and started researching sin eaters, if I was so bloody curious.  I did, however, get bored enough to throw together a pirate costume for Tom and Patty's wedding on Friday, and I must say I look pretty damn awesome.  (Total effort:  almost nil.  Recycled the big poufy shirt I wore for haunted ship, found an old corset top I'd forgotten I even *owned*, hacked up a skirt I don't wear anymore, tied a scarf around my waist and threw on my tall boots and I am one wicked-looking pirate.  This is the best wedding idea ever.)

And now, to conk out with a book, or something.  Or knit more.  Because Stephanie is just that cool.

These dancers were a great attraction. They moved very slowly with their bodies outlined in the red cloth. It was sensual and beautiful to watch. This dancer watched me as I photographed her. I don't think she disapproved or approved, but simply was aware of what I was doing. She didn't pause in her movements either. At one point, a person came up to her and proceeded to inspect her at close range. He was a real fool, but she was like the busker mimes that are statues. She completely ignored the guy.

I don't know what dance group this is or who she is. I would like to credit the dance group, so if you recognize this, let me know.

Every once in awhile, someone takes a taste, a memory, and uses it in a really unconventional way.

It seems that Cap'n Crunch cereal is one of those strangely flexible flavors that lends itself to any number of applications, from an ice cream topping to a sandwich fixin'--as demonstrated here:



However, at Planet Hollywood, Cap'n Crunch is used in a way that I have duplicated at home, for tonight's dinner.

Crispy, sweet and salty...just wonderful.

I recommend it.

spent a wonderful afternoon with a pair of very old friends, Cyndie and her husband LC. while i love all of the spectacular new people in my life, there is something to be said for the comfortable feeling of familiarity.

oh yeah, we also played on some rocket cars.

I'm slowly trying to get the hang of creative focusing on my new rebel. I change my settings on manual to f32 for 1/30 seconds, and my picture turns black. I try another combination of f5.6 for 1/1000 seconds. And still, it turns dark. You can very faintly see the outline of the object, but mainly purely dark. 

What am I missing?

Thanks.

The people who know me will know that I don't do posing shots usually. This is one of the few I ever made.

Anna is a good friend of mine, a special person. Special in the way she feels what's true and important, and in the way she argues about it.

To those people who look for the important in this world.

Here's another one from Saturday's NYC Dance Parade 2008. I think there were more photographers at this event than dancers, but that's OK, too. Some of the stilt dancers were as comfortable on their stilts as I am in my shoes. It was just amazing.

For those who are interested, this was shot with my Ricoh GX-100 at the equivalent of 24 mm. It's a good little camera, especially if you like wide angle shots.

My back is still sore from carrying too much photographic equipment. I didn't use most of it. I just used my old Minolta 7D DSLR and the Ricoh GX-100 when I wanted a 24 mm shot. Next time, I'll leave almost everything home. Ah, well, it was worth it.

my new sheer nighty :)

I’m sitting in SFO. After a morning of heroics to get to the airport on time (especially for a co-worker who was with me and had a flight that was 30 minutes earlier than mine) I got to the gate to learn that my flight is delayed nearly 2 hours.

So here I sit. EVDO internet. Listening to music on my iPhone.

So I treated myself to a big candy purchase. I am pacman. OM NOM NOM NOM
