i shot a wedding today with a photographer friend of mine. i hate most everything about american weddings. but even with a bride and groom who met on msn messenger and a cleopatra/african/royalty themed wedding, it was still all somehow endearing in it's own way. i want my cynicism back. maybe i never had it to start with. such a flawed brooding ( Read more... )

this weekend i will be working on a paper on dying stars for astronomy. movie night on friday with a friend. seeing rod stewart saturday with my mom in atlantic city. my dad was her date but out of nowhere he doesn't feel like hobbling to the show on crutches i guess. even though just the other day i caught him trying to do yard work dragging only ( Read more... )
