With Memorial Day weekend out of the way, it is officially summer. Last year, I spent so much time editing photos (or feeling guilty about not editing photos) that I missed out on some of my favorite summer activities. So I started to do a Summer Resolutions list for this year, but then I realized how [...]

Summertime
May 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
Last year, I linked to the text of David Foster Wallace’s speech to a graduating class, which is great and you should read it if you didn’t get around to reading it last year. In the wake of his death last year, they’re releasing the text of it in one of those little gift books [...]

California Closure
May 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Photography
I am finally feeling a sense of closure about the California pictures. A well-deserved sense of closure, even though I’m not really finished with the pictures. I haven’t touched hundreds and hundreds of them, actually. But I won’t be able to work on them for weeks, at least. Even if I start to work on [...]

My trip to Springfield was successful on Saturday! It did end up taking most of the day, but I got home with a floor lamp, three lime houndstooth napkins, an orange pitcher for Tracy, and the credenza, which turned out to be in very good shape (other than missing handles for the accordian-style doors, and [...]

This Is All That

I’m now irritated with a Craigslist seller who indicated that she would sell me some kitchen stuff this evening, then when I called to get her address, she made it clear that she’d said that to a few people, and whoever got to her house first could have the stuff. Lady! I am not going [...]

I have been feeling a little sick this week, but today I feel better. I had such a productive day at work that at one point I actually did a full-on happydance. I’m glad I have a very private cubicle for such situations. I am leaving in a little while to go home and then [...]

A New Season with Silver Box
May 4th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Weddings
I started out the 2009 wedding season by assisting with Silver Box Photographers again. I was so happy to get the opportunity. The wedding was beautiful, the people were so nice, and the weather was lovely. It was a great time! The photos are up at the Silver Lining blog. I took several of the [...]
