blog shots

a series of small to short posts from the past week, to be taken similar to the virgin jell-o shots at monday's f.h.e.

enjoy.

the seventh seal indescribably gets better and better every time i see it. and, on blu-ray, rises to become one of the crown jewels of my collection.

i've been a fan of frisbee golf for years. but kinetic speed frisbee golf is a whole new level. i like it.

lighting an interview in austin, tx.:

i love lighting; it's my passion.

once we've started shooting, i begin to notice things i should have noticed before.

there are half a dozen things i would desperately love to change if we could start over and light for another 20 minutes.

does anyone notice these? are they blatantly obvious because i'm looking specifically for them, or are they legitimately blatantly obvious?

i feel like charlie kaufman, not janusz kaminski.

i remind myself that brian, who trained me (?) seems to feel the same way about most of the shots he does, too.

i let it go.

as we were getting breakfast tacos, someone said it was supposed to be record highs that day.

the evening news confirmed it: austin set a new record with 105. as long as i'm in austin, i may as well get the best.

in keeping with the theme of amazing food on this trip, i had the best ribs i've ever had (sorry, mom) at stubb's bbq in austin. afterwards, my mouth tasted like bbq smoke; it was amazing.

they might be giants played a concert in their basement a year and a half ago.

flying into salt lake, we went through possibly the worst turbulence of my life. when the plane blew sideways, and the ground below shifted in an uncommon way, i decided to close my window and let what happened happen. the crying babies seemed to vocalize how most of the people around me looked. when the plane safely landed, several people cheered.

i went to the lehi rodeo on thursday night. they were doing a "tough enough to wear pink" theme for breast cancer awareness, with several horses, cowboys, and much of the crowd in pink. when i went again on saturday, i wore pink.

evidently, that was only for thursday night. excluding several little girls, i was about the only one in pink.

i'm tough enough.

101.9 has reinstated their acoustic sunday morning playlists. as my i lay in bed, listening, "achy breaky heart" came on. that was perhaps the most surreal event of my whole weak.
