(put down on the grave) Lock me out, lock me in (Kalolo Dr) [15 Mar 2010|10:34am] sadbutun Lock me out, lock me in (Kalolo Dr), originally uploaded by ohhector. Thursday is my usual day of, but since Ven decided to call out and Patricio is on vacation, I had to go in to work. Rather than switch days off, since I didn't know if he was gonna show up the rest of the week or not, I just came in and worked extra, starting at 5. What followed, was one of the absolute worst days I've had there in a while. Soooo many people in my department, all of them just being loud and obnoxious. No one buying anything. Bah! Friday I worked, then came home. I've been feeling really anxious at home lately, and this night was the worst. I wanted to get things done, the many things I had to do at home, but I just couldn't. I just sat there, getting more and more jittery. Eventually I just got up and went for a drive. Drove down South River Dr, and stopped by downtown to take photos. I sat there crouched for over 15 minutes, trying to get this kitty to come up to me...he got close, but since I didn't have food, not close enough. Saturday was similar...worked, got home, needed to get out of my house. It sucked, because I was VERY tired and not feeling like going out at all...but sometimes these moods take precedence over your state of physical being. Went out again and took some more photos. Both nights, this managed to relax me quite a bit. Sunday morning, after being fucked in the ass by Daylight Savings time (thank you Bush, we really needed another month of this), I got up super early and got picked up by Gary and Carolyn. We went to Shark Valley! Weather was nice, not cold but not hot either. There were no alligators on the road this time, unlike last time...quite odd. There WERE a ton of birds though, all over the place. Lots of fun! I got home, and tried to take a nap, but a tension headache came out of nowhere and I spent most of the rest of the day dealing with that. Later on, I managed to get a few things purchased that I'd been meaning to get for a while (Camelbak, carbon fiber tripod, Acratech Ultimate Ballhead, Chromedome for my Lightsphere). No Pat again this week...hopefully we get no more last minute "oh I'm sick" and we can all just make some good monies!

(9 white roses | put down on the grave) ...Between us a love without question&all the things seem new... [14 Mar 2010|07:07pm] feelinleftout [ mood | peaceful ] This morning Noah& I watched the kids at church and I for one was nervous about that. I don't know why I felt strange about it...maybe it has been too long since I've been around that many kids, or maybe because it's so relaxed and I was kind of in charge or something along those lines. It was great to see him interact with the kids in his sweet gentle way. Getting a little kid not to cry and come back to the table during snack time, and having a little boy crawl into his lap during the video. I suppose mainly I just want to remember this for me, and I hope that's okay... I've been obsessed with a few songs from the new Clem Snide album and Frightened Rabbit, too, but I wouldn't be opposed to other new music suggestions, if anyone's got any...

(put down on the grave) No sam, you have to go back (south end of Kiholo Bay) [09 Mar 2010|10:19pm] sadbutun No sam, you have to go back (south end of Kiholo Bay), originally uploaded by ohhector. I haven't written a LOST update in a while...but frankly I've been holding my tongue because I've felt a little out of sorts with this season. Yea, there's been some badass episodes...and i havent particularly minded the lesser quality ones (I enjoyed the kate one!). But overall, something was missing. I know they said that it was going to be a different type of storytelling this season. But they also said it was going to be a lot more similar to the first season, which (minus the character order of the first few episodes) it hasn't really. The end of the last episode was the first moment where I stood back and went 'Whoa..." This episode continued that. It was a return to a more familiar storytelling...I enjoyed the fact that it was more related to a few different storylines than just one. Including Jack and hurley was a good choice, and Jack's scene with Richard in the Black Rock was classic, one of my top Lost Moments. It even made me stop hating Jack a little! Ilana was one crazy bitch...but, it played into how close she was to Jacob, who was a father figure to her. Was she brought to the Island by Jacob? Did he come to her at a time where maybe her family died? Ben...not the best Ben episode, and a total lack of beautiful and subtle Ben lines...but it's ok, I am so glad he is not dead! I am sure he will come back to kick our asses with his forked tongue soon enough. Great to see Alex again ;) Jack....please turn into a kickass character again. I hate this "im angry with the world so I'm going to second guess absolutely everything and be a dumbass about it' mode he's fallen into...but I suppose it might have been necessary as a character development storyline.....maybe he needed to fail before he could rise to greatness again. MOTHERFUCKING WIDMORE....how the fuck did he find the island? And did Jacob want him to be there? In the end, will it turn out that Widmore is one of the GOOD guys? (Although, that is assuming that Jacob's side is good.) A lot of rambling for now...but if I come up with any other good points I'll bring em up later!

(put down on the grave) Edward Scissorhands would love it here (black sand beach at south end of Kiholo Bay) [07 Mar 2010|03:32pm] sadbutun Edward Scissorhands would love it here (black sand beach at south end of Kiholo Bay), originally uploaded by ohhector. VERY slow week at work. I MIGHT have just broken even. Tuesday I picked up Ponyo and Where The Wild Things Are at Target. Cheaper than Best Buy, but I almost killed the two ladies working there. Slow, dumb, inefficient...things I really dislike in a sales associate! haha Lost night with Cinthia that same day. Wednesday night I saw Ponyo with Ale. I'm so happy they included the Japanese track, we watched it like that with subtitles. Very nice movie. I wish Miyazaki would get back to more epic material, but he set out to make a fairy tale...and he more than succeeded. Thursday I had to go into work to cover for Ven. Friday I worked opening and came home. Apparently someone went on our rood at work and stole 4 of the 10 ac units we have. Now, I work inside a very large/tall warehouse building. They didn't steal the units themselves, but rather the cooling coils. They are made of copper and apparently sold really easily for money. The kicker? This could have happened anytime in the last month. We only noticed cuz the ac guy came for his monthly maintenance. Hopefully it's fixed asap, cuz the warm is coming back! We did have a nice cool front this week....hopefully it's not the last one! Yesterday I had off since I worked on Thursday. Very unproductive day. At night I went to Tate's with Carlos and Ale to be at the opening of The Sunshine Show, a gallery that Bird & Bee has for local artists. WAAAAAAAY too many people there. I'm starting to dislike openings...at least for things of no real consequence (open submission shows, friend shows). It's just a bunch of people standing around talking and blocking art, and not appreciating any of it. Granted, I suppose that is what openings are for, socializing...but I don't like it! haha. Had a bunch of friends show up, so that was nice: Ivel, Stephanie, Ana, Hederr, Fidel. Also got to finally meet Nicole. Today...well, its a bit lazy. But I AM getting stuff done, so that's good!

(12 white roses | put down on the grave) Introducing.... [06 Mar 2010|04:18pm] feelinleftout [ mood | accomplished ] All in all, I am really proud that I went up there in front of crowd and actually did this. I put my mind to something and followed through. Even if there were more "um's" than I'd like...some people laughed, some people didn't. Pretty much what you'd expect. I do drop an "F" bomb, so you've been warned... ( MY COMEDY DEBUT! (not work safe) )
