film fan

I recently came to the conclusion that I need to make things happen.

This may seem like an obvious conclusion to others, but it's evidently taken me longer than most to reach it.

I've decided to take the first step in "making things happen" by booking a trip to Park City, Utah for early 2007.

I'm not a skier or much of an outdoor aficionado, so Park City may not seem like an ideal destination for me, save for one fabulous event held in January, the Sundance Film Festival .

Friends will remember I was supposed to go in 2005, but things didn't pan out for multiple reasons. This time, instead of waiting on others, as I tend to do, I acted on my own and booked my own trip, so barring some horrible event, I'll be going.

I wanted to go to SXSW this year, but I can't blame anyone but myself about that one. I acted too late, and by the time I looked into tickets it was far beyond reasonable to attend.

Anyone up for Coachella next month?

only in da morning

In case you haven't been exposed to the whistles going "Wooo Wooo!"

Nothing much to report.

I'll bore you with more baby pics of me.

(Believe it or not, I'm not vain!)

(Can you tell I'm back into using my scanner?!)

i used to be indecisive...

...now i'm not so sure.

Yes, it's me.
Gratuitous self-promotion.

Hey, this kind of mood doesn't come around often!

Happiness is...

David Sedaris

...seeing this guy in person at the end of April.

(Lis, this is my public way of announcing we're going, and have supposed great orchestra seats!)

lame-o ized

I just returned from my first Photoshop class, and am pretty jazzed about the course's syllabus. I kinda wish I registered for the intermediate one, even though my experience with Photoshop is limited, because there were a couple of folks in the class that I can envision dragging us down.

You know, the "how do I turn this thing on?" folks. The "heyyy! If I move this mouse, the pointy arrow on the screen moves!" folks.

I never said I was nice. ;)

Thankfully we're allowed to work ahead and the instructor encourages us to work on our own time and make use of class time to ask him questions and really goof around. It helps that I have my very own copy of the software, courtesy of the great Cyrus , and I've muddled through to create some neat-o images.

[Somehow this comes back to the toy cameras I mentioned in the previous entry... ;) ]

Tres lame.

I need the real thing.

Since I returned the Razr spoken of a few entries back, methinks the funds are now earmarked for the LC-A...
