As
all two of my readers have probably noticed, I’ve been making some
drastic changes to my page here. I did all this because 1) I needed an
image overhaul. I wasn’t happy with what I started with and didn’t
like the new ideas I was trying on. You may have noticed I’ve changed
things around quite a bit on here as well, and 2) I’m going to a film
festival this weekend with Chris Gore.
I’ll be there wearing one of my hats and not much else, so hopefully,
I’ll get a lot of attention. Actually, I’m only saying that because I
have no idea what I’m going to wear. This uncertainty has been the
cause of many of my problems lately.
It’s been snowing here, so probably should bundle up. But that’s not very dignified. In fact, I froze my ass off and got soaking wet in San Francisco because I refused to have to carry a coat, an umbrella, and a purse around at the party I was going to. Ah, vanity.
The point of that (before I started rambling) is that I needed tons of business cards to hand out and wasn’t impressed with the set I made a month ago, which I made to replace the predesigned ones I’ve been using for years. So, I spent several hours making new ones. It took a lot of printing, resizing, and fiddling around trying to get things to fit in the limited space, but I’m very proud of how it turned out. The best part is that none of the parts are permanently attached, so if I want a new look, I can just rearrange some things, snap a new photo, and print them out.
I’ve started a project called B-612 where I’m taking pictures of sunsets out the windows of airplanes. On the way home from my recent trip to San Francisco, I was lucky enough to get a window with no scrapes or scratches. About halfway through, a couple of really tiny spots of frost formed, but those were only noticeable on the photos because I was looking for them, and they were easily removed.
I once got caught it a snow storm in a mini skirt and t-shirt. I had to stop by the store before heading home, and I didn’t have a coat or even a hoodie. On the way in, a bundled up bell-ringer said, ’Aren’t you cold?’ I used to be able to walk in subzero temperatures for hours in short and a t-shirt with minimal effort. I’m out of practice now. I responded, ’If you have to ask, I must be doing something right’. Like I said -- dignity at all times. Never let them know you’re freezing your peeballs off.
