photos from the restaurant

My boss asked me to shoot a couple of the restaurant's cocktails - I guess one of the drinks is going to be featured in a magazine soon, or something like that. Anyway, here are two of the shots I liked, as well as two of the decor and two of this random tree outside through the curtains (I couldn't decide whether I liked it better dark or light, so I played around with both).

I miss my pups.

Came across this picture today in going through my files. It's one of my favorites.




While I'm at it, this is another favorite. Have I mentioned I miss my dogs?

like a kid on christmas eve

my itunes preorder of iron & wine's new album just became available. going to go listen now and report back. ooh, so happy.

from the game

Such a fun day. We were sitting way up high, so we had this view of everything - from the field all the way out to the water. And the fans were so loud it vibrated in your ears. Add in nachos and some bud light, and you have a rockin' good time.

the week in review

the good, the bad, and the ugly (but in reverse order, so I can end on a good note):

the ugly: My rental car was broken into Friday night - the rental car I had because my own car had been stolen three weeks prior. Ridiculous. And they stole my camera. Definitely not a fun way to end a 14-hr workday. =( But at least it didn't have my favorite lens on it at the time. My favorite lens is still safe and sound at home (for now).

the bad: stupid work drama (lame)

the good: 1) it's starting to feel like fall, 2) I got a killer deal on the most comfortable mattress ever, 3) a couple of prospects opened up in different areas of my life, which is always encouraging, 4) the Seahawks game was awesome, and 5) the US women's team advanced to the semi-finals.

So, all in all, not a bad week. Just a bit tiring. I could use a nap. =)

I really really want to see this movie. Really.

silly youtube won't show the video anymore, so go here: http://oncethemovie.com/

long day, part 2

There are days like yesterday, when if I was ten I would have covered my diary with hearts and flowers and unicorns and such and then gone outside to play a lively game of hopscotch.

And then there are days like today, when all I wanted to do was put my pj's back on, lie in bed, and have someone play with my hair and promise me that tomorrow things would seem less cruddy.

long day

but a freaking cool one.

=)

flamingos, doorknobs, and cigarettes

Don't ask me why, but these were the things I felt like photographing today.
