You remind me of you.

Between updating my tumblr with things from the internet and posting photos on my photo-a-day tumblr (which, by the way, can by found at http://crulien365.tumblr.com) and doing other real-life things, I have neglected to write anything regarding my interesting days.

Saturday was Infintesmal BBQ VI. It was a rousing success and, by the end of the nine hours, I was exhausted. I was genuinely surprised how much work it is, taking photos of ten bands in one period of time. I just finished editing all the photos and am pretty happy with how they came out. I wish I'd kept better track of how many photos I've taken with my 20D. I've had it about four years now and I must be touching 70,000 photos. Possibly more.

Tonight we went up to the University Club for my mum's birthday. It'd been a long time since I've been in a situation that required getting all dolled up and it was such a good time. We sat around after supper, chatting, drinking wine and coffee, and staring out over the river. I am always awed by the view of the city from the club. It's at the top of the Gulf Life/Wachovia building, the 27th floor, and the wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling windows look out over downtown. I excused myself part-way through the meal so I could walk over to see the sunset. By that point the west was rather overcast, but it was still nice.



I've been sleeping so much lately, but here it is 2a and I'm awake, so it seems my trend of the past few days isn't going to keep up.

This morning there was a house-fire across the street from my work. As I arrived to work, the fire trucks pulled up and black smoke was pouring out from under all the eves. It was incredibly surreal.
It certainly started out an interesting Friday.

I'm babysitting Javy tonight. He gave me a tour of his museum and I visited his stores and got a picture of Megatron. We listened to Michael Jackson during supper and then played a board game and read some books before bed. Now I have some crocheting to get finished.

The Infintesmal BBQ isn't until 5p tomorrow and I cannot wait to sleep in.


In other news: My head is a-buzz and I over-analyse everything.

In the past week, I have been at shows five of the seven nights.

Later tonight I sat around, drinking draft cider and eating ramen noodles.

I am living the American Dream.

My god, I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on My Morning Jacket. For some reason I’d always had it in my head they were some Fall Out Boy-type band. So wrong.

Well, that relationship was rather short-lived. We lasted exactly a week before it was, more than anything, mutually decided it wasn't working out the way we wanted it to work out. He's a pretty busy fellow and I deserve more than that. Though it sucks when you connect so well with someone. I'm caught between this wanting to see him because we click so well and not wanting to see him at all for the same reason. Considering I've really fallen for being a part of Infintesmal, I suppose we'll be seeing each other often. Hopefully, things cool down soon. I can't keep making excuses for people. I do like him, but it is what it is.

Other than that, it's been a pretty low-key week. Warren was sick this week so I only worked Monday and I skipped out on class Thursday because I wanted a sick day/re-evaluation time the morning after the break-up.
I need to figure out this work situation though. Over the past few weeks, I've met quite a few people who want to hire me for photos, but I've also heard that before and not much ever came of it. It would be really nice to make some extra income though; I've been nannying for three weeks now and, as great of a set up as it is, I'm only scheduled for 12 hours a week and the last two have only been 9 and 4, respectively. My car has been broken down for almost a month and a half now and I can't handle both living at my parents' and not having a car. I have a decent amount of money, enough to get by anyway, but certainly not enough to buy a car.

I have been spending a lot of time working on photos, my desktop is cluttered with folders full of January's shows. I'm also making a mix album and have a queue of crochet creations I have to get finished.

January has gone by so quickly, but has felt more lengthy than all of 2009. If that makes sense.
