Where to start...
When we last left Lis, she was feeling mighty angsty, Mothers Day was a tough one, her birthday approached, she and Sluggo were circling the drain...
Fast forward one month:
The decision to run away for my birthday may have been my best decision of the year. I had an amazing time. Birthday dinner (sushi noms) with Cammille and Dave, a couple of v. fancy Martini's at the Clover Club. The next day was spent with Camille, Rachel and Paul Morrissey at Coney Island which is THE MOST AWESOME PLACE ON EARTH.
I took lots of pictures, That night after a nice fish and chip dinner at The Chip Shop, had a couple of drinks with Richelle, who was in town for the paper show. The next day before my train we had a nice diner brunch, browsed a couple of shops, took a walk in Prospect Park...
I managed to pack a whole lot of awesome into a very short trip (OMG - I forgot about the B&H store - holy crap if there was a Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory for Photographers, this would be it) and there wasn't even the slightest *hint* of self pity to be seen...
Having returned renewed and refreshed, well...hmm..
I got a second job, part time office manager, just started yesterday. It isn't the least bit interesting but pays better than any PT gig I've had before and should enable me to save the money I need for my new computer and camera - hopefully by years end. Still working the gym but cutting back a bit so I can at least have one whole day off a week, and I still don't have to be anywhere before 1 in the afternoon, those who know me are certain to understand that this is a significant advantage...
Bought a vendor space at Milltowns Return, will be hawking my photos of hotrods, I don't think I'll make a ton of money but I hope to break even. Also going to open up an Etsy shop, website should go live soon...at which point I will actively start trying to whore myself out. Went and shot at the 100percentkulture.com show a couple weeks back:
Sluggo and I are done, but I think we'll be friends, and that's a good thing, because he's pretty awesome. I should have known going in it was a bad idea, how many times have I declared NO MORE GEMINI MEN. When will I learn? They're just all so goddam compelling.They're sexy and funny and good fun to drink with, and in some cases, very good boyfriends to girls who are't me, but me? they DO NOT WANT.. Perhaps I've finally learned my lesson... If I say I'm gonna date another one, please, I INVITE YOU TO PUNCH ME IN THE FACE AS HARD AS YOU CAN. And yes, of course it's the gemini's, it's not me - I AM PERFECT IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED.
I'm off to Chicago in a few weeks, can't come soon enough. After that I'm stuck here for a while as I try to save some cash, but Milltowns will be a weekend in lovely and glamorous Palmer MA, and I'm hoping to get a few folks to come out for it...
Er....yeah I guess that's about it...
shoot the freak! all nicely composed.
