is everyone aware that portland is featured in the new september issue of national geographic? this might reveal just how nerdy i am but i'm really excited about this! woo hoo

there are some days when i just shouldn't leave the house, and today hs been one of them. left early to do the food pickup and the Food Not Bombs van broke down in the gas station. called around and everyone said to just let it sit, so i did, for an hour and a half- trying everything, being subjected to every know-it-all guy that passed through ( Read more... )

this is my dilemma. i have a digital camera, but no computer to edit on as of now. i have super 8s and everything i need to shoot, edit, and show films i do with them, bit no money to buy the film, which is about $18 for 50ft, or three minutes ( Read more... )

went to the bush protest today and used my high 8 for the first time (oh so many new cameras, i can barely contain myself). the zoom on it is really fast, and i never got the hang of it, so every time i used it i ended up fucking up the shot, but other than that things went smoothly and i got some good footage. i was pretty lucky with ending up ( Read more... )

today i found my dream camera-yes-the one i've sought after for the last year and a half, my DREAM super 8!!! i am so excited, i could hardly contain myself this afternoon- casey said i was acting like i'd just snorted cocaine.

this week has been very lucky for me. i won a two week membership to a gym because of some contest i don't remember entering, i was able to fulfill my three year desire to smoke a hooka (or however you spell it) pipe and i got to do it with my 6th grade boyfriend from my very conservative christian school, and today when i went to the library to ( Read more... )

this weekend has been pretty pathetic but it's also been fun, if that's possible. friday i worked a nine hour shift but i sat by these two really funny guys so it was actually bearable, then i saw this movie about four unemployed, middle-aged men in spain and it was thought-provoking but in a very hopeless way. oy, then it was downhill, i got in ( Read more... )

how come it's always the people who basically neglect their animals that act like they're blood relatives? my sister's boyfriend has now started calling his stupid yipping pissing everywhere five pound dog my nephew's "brother." give me a fucking break. i guess they both do have in common the fact that he's supposed to be responsible for them but ( Read more... )

major drama in my family again, at least with my mom so far. i've been doing a lot of thinking and i'm considering taking a year off before i go to college, which my mom interprets as never going to college. i still want to go, but for the first time in my life i have an excellent home life and i'm not willing to leave that just yet. i want to ( Read more... )

last night i had so much fun at my party. it was pretty much perfect for me. today sucked though- i woke up in A LOT of pain, i'm thinking the result of my combination of drinking too much on an empty stomach, dancing drunk for hours, and mainly, wrestling. i woke up with straw poking me everywhere, a huge bruise on my arm, a rash on my shoulder ( Read more... )
