Reading, I do a lot of it, lol. I have a nook e-reader which I love but I’ll never get away from reading paper books as well. They each have a place in my heart. 9 times out of 10, I have either my nook or a paper book in my purse/bag, even though I rarely read on the go anymore. Its like a security blanket thing for me; I know the literature is there if I need it, if I need to escape and lose myself in another world. Unless I’m going on vacation. Then the nook is fully stocked and I’ve got at least 2 paper books with me as well. I WILL be reading and I need ~options. 🙂 Anyhoo, yes, books equal love.

New glasses, woot! And representing my love for Loki, lol. The shirt, brain-child of me and a couple of friends, was actually designed exclusively for us and Tom Hiddleston. He was given one at the “War Horse” premiere in NYC but I’ve never been sure if he ever received it from the assistant dude that took it. Ah, well, I’ve stopped dwelling on it for the most part. The shirt says “Property of Loki Laufeyson” w/the horned helmet drawn and runes provided by A. Akeju.

Kitchen creepin’. Just back from seeing “Beauty and the Beast” in 3D with Melanie and confirmed that it is STILL my favorite animated Disney film. Yes, I sang all the songs and mouthed most of the dialogue. Yes, we were the oldest people in the theatre without benefit of children. There is no shame in our game. It was strange to realize that a lot of kids are going to be seeing this movie for the first time. Where did the time go?

Quick shot in the bathroom before heading out with Mary Beth to see a mid-day concert (Theo Katzman, Charlene Kaye, and Shoot the Freak) followed by “How to Succeed” on B’way. Busy, busy day.


52 Weeks

So, I’ve decided to give the self-portrait project another try. I enjoyed it and learned so much the first time around (2008, holy crap) but it was…really intense. I mean, the timing was all wrong and I was doing 365 Days which, if you want to produce anything of note, is pretty damned demanding. I just couldn’t hack it. I’m thinking 52 Weeks will go easier on my time schedule and give me a little more room to be creative. NOT that you’d see that by my first two shots as I’ve, so far, been lax at setting aside time to work on this. Ideas are great but implementation is key; if a shot is taken after midnight on a Sunday, IT DOESN’T COUNT. I need to get on the ball.

 

I don’t want to cheat. Wish me luck. Each photo will be given it’s own post.
