Yesterday I came home to a light stand, diffuser, and 580EX flash. Today I got my cybersyncs and the PC connector for the flash. Life is good, and now I just need to figure out how to shoot with it.

the Starbucks girl has a thing for me and i haven't paid for a drink in months. plus, she's this stunning slender blonde from Serbia, so i really can't complain. i'm actually so distracted that i forgot why i originally wanted to post in this thread.

there are so many hot girls here that i'm already jaded, seriously. it's retarded how many unnecessarily hot girls there are here. this one's actually a sweet girl, though, which is RARE in this town, so that's the real kicker.

btw, i'm counting the minutes until we roll together. as i was telling you last night, i've recently met a girl who loves the hell out of me and has all these ins at clubs and with bands (she got a call from Bret Michaels while i was hanging out with her the other night just cause he wanted to shoot the shit... i mean, he's a chode, but that equals free drinks and groupies to me... she's basically the real life Penny Lane) and she's going to shows usually 5 or 6 nights a week, so she'll help us find something epic to do on Friday night. she'll at least enable us to have a rollin good time.

I skied with Rowen today, and then went to Seattle to see Sam and Scott. It was a terrific day on the slopes with lots of great laughs and then really fun to finish it off with seeing people I hadn't seen forever.

Got back my Inorganic Chem midterm. Dominated it. Then I made some nice prints in the darkroom and checked out the Mamiya C220. Went out to an awesome Japanese restaurant, then went out with a bunch of people to one of my favorite bars, hung out, devised ways to scam beers from various people (and were sucessful)...got a few baggies of white widow, and now I'm about to go to bed very satisfied.

getting back into NIN in a big way... rediscovering a lot of stuff i had forgotten about and stoked that i still have a fucked up and morose enough outlook on my own life and the way the world treats itself that it's still relevant. i've been camped out at Starbucks for the past three days listening to his shit and i'm sooo stoked that he put a ton of his tracks on the NIN site. lovin that filthy vibe it leaves me with...

Move back to Alaska is now officially March 6! Can't wait to see some of my best friends again. Almost nobody up there knows I'm coming, which calls for extra-stokage. Less drama. The major downside is having to leave Ninja for a number of months. I'm going to miss my baby.

Stoked for the NBA All-Star game tomorrow. Hope to see Roy get some good playing time in.

Also ridiculously into a few of the books I'm reading. Super super good non-fictions include:

"The Shark Chronicles" by John A. Musick and Beverly McMillan
"The Wild Trees" by Richard Preston (author of "The Hot Zone")
"The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman
"Ship of Gold" by Gary Kinder

Also reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini (author of "The Kite Runner") which is, so far, just as good as the other novel. Definitely really glad I've gotten super into reading again.

Oh yeah! And I'm super excited that this guy who's like my little brother, Tyler (he worked for me at the aquarium) is coming to visit me with his friend, Pat, next Wednesday. We're going to the Luckyiam show, and a bunch of the Sandpeople will be there. Yeah!!!!

Yeah, I'm a little over halfway done. I'm reading six books right now, so I tend to read a bunch of one and then move on to another and then go back, haha. Definitely love this book, though. I've been addicted to good non-fiction lately, and my parents are, too. We mail or bring each other books a lot.

Haha, that book is pretty much required reading for all MSU students because Greg Mortenson is from Bozeman. It's a really cool project though; maybe I can get him to send me over there to take photos in a few years...

I made $340 last night. What?! Yeah.

My boss told me that she could have filled two other restaurants with the amount of people she turned away last night. Thye opened their restaurant in the perfect spot. Tourists are tired of the shitty restaurants around here, and now that there's a kick ass one, with great food, they're flocking here like hungry hippos. Its awesome.

Nope! Honestly, I've never heard of it (I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to everything these days), but I'll definitely go pick up a copy since I'll have plenty of reading time in the near future. Thanks for the recommendation!

On a related note: does anyone know if we already have a book thread in here? I know there's already a book cult, but it's been dead for over a year.

I think there was one buried somewhere, but it should definitely be revived. Or you guys can just read everything that's been written by Hubert Selby Jr. and Ayn Rand.

i had possibly the most epic night of my life last night. basically, my day was TOTALLY shit... finally got rid of a girl i've been kinda seeing, got in a huge fight with my mom and she ended up hanging up on me (which she's never done before), and started drinking by 2:30 or so. well, by about 3:30-4 i was out of JD and decided to head to the Strip to see my favorite waitress, but she didn't get on until 6, so i decided to kill some time at Starbucks. well, there's a girl who works here who's been hooking me up with drinks for a long time and she wrote her name and phone number on my cup when she brought it over to me and we started texting until she got off work. description- about 6', dirty blonde, helluva body, blue eyes that just make you melt, and this insanely sexy Serbian accent. plus, she's a total electro-head, so we drove around for a while blasting the shit outta Daft... and she tokes and rolls, yesssssss. so, after she got outta work, she ends up insisting on taking me out to eat- other than Les picking up the tab a few times while we were both in Reno, i don't know that i've ever let a girl take me out- and took me to this amazing sushi joint. we had sake, a few different rolls, it was awesome. then we went back to my place and hung out until about 5am... i'll spare you the details, but i'll say she gave me the best backrub i've ever had in my life.

any surprise i'm back at Starbucks already? ;P

Dunno how many are still on the edge of their seat with my gripping love/life saga, but yeah. Last night was good. Woke up in the 9's bed this morning. Shes.... hot. I think I really like her. Especially now that the cheating this is mostly resolved and explained.

But more fun to come, I get to go ski with her tonight, hang out in a Barvarian wonderland, wake up with a hangover and ski another day with them. See you guys in a few days!

dude, cheating is never ok. not trying to burst your bubble, but if she cheated on you, you're worth better.

it just hit me what that pic could mean for Lollapalooza this year... i'm flipping the fuck out. Trent, Dave, Eric, Stephen, and Perry on the same stage? i'll bring a gun to shoot myself once the show's over, cause it'll never get any better than that. that shit would top Alive 2007, Satellite Party in 07, and NIN in 08 all combined in NO TIME.

Second day at CB. Met up with Pete, who took me over to Highland. Ripped a super fun line. 3 hop turns, mandatory 7 footer, 20 more feet into a 4' wide, 30' straight-line chute, riding the sluff between rocks and a big ass tree, hard turn left, ride the gnar to the bottom through the trees. Mandy, we should've bought a helmet cam.

I just went and did my first real portrait shoot with the new flash, it's pretty rad-tastic. It was a little hurried, but I am still pretty happy with the results given that this was my first time using an external flash.
