I've felt nauseated for the past week or so because of stress. So every once in a while I do something stupid and pointless so I don't end up shooting anything. Here is this moment's distraction:

Now to get gussied up for a museum exhibit opening (at the MOHAI in Seattle, sponsored by KIRO, on photojournalism from 1920-1970 ( Read more... )

I met one of the Blue Angels pilots this morning! It was awesome. He was so nice and I fully admit to being totally starstruck!

I got a C in New Testament. That's bad. What's worse? That I'm HAPPY about it! Staley's grading scale was so skewed that the 75 I got on the second paper in that class (the lowest grade I've ever gotten on a paper) was a failing grade ( Read more... )
