Why is it that even though I have a bajillion songs on my playlist, my mp3 player only plays The Smiths, The Church, and The Chameleons UK? | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment   |

| Just a quick quickie before I hit the sack. I evacuated Korea this afternoon for Hong Kongier climes: got to apply for my Chinese visa here tomorrow morning before I can proceed to my 30 day tour of duty in Shenzhen. My Chinese agency sent a booker down here to "help" me get my visa; so far she's been a downslowing hindrance and a portent of lonely weeks of ill communication to come. Our conversation has been accomplished word-by-word, hunched together over her little electronic translator. Looking to the future, she's been busy translating and transcribing a few bons mots into her notebook, that they might be ready when she feels the need to deploy them:
"You don't takes a bath." [That's true; I didn't take a bath, and guess what else, I'm not going to; and guess what else? Neither did she, so, like, step off!]
"I have the daughter of three years old."
"Rain outside clogs up."
"Please don't chat."
"Do some big poses"
"Do some small poses."
"Do some happy and cheerful poses."
I can do all these poses and more, poses "cool" and "lady" and "lovely," poses "fantastic" and "elegant" and "like swimming in the sea." And I will do. But first Korean snacks:
In Korean, the bottle on the right says "chi-juh [cheese] uyu [milk]."

Joey and Emilie
Hillside Gardens, Colorado Springs
May 18, 2008
Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my friend Holly Pacione, who was scheduled to photograph a wedding that day but was very sick. She asked if I could shoot the wedding with her, so that there would be an experienced photographer at the wedding in case she was unable to do it. I canceled my plans for the day and promptly started getting my equipment ready. Mike overhead the phone call, and he started charging my batteries before I even got off the phone! What a great guy. :) I'm happy to say that Holly made it through the wedding, but it was a tough day for her, and I'm glad I was able to help her out.
Emilie and Joey got married at Hillside Gardens, a nursery and event center in downtown Colorado Springs. I loved its view of the mountains! The weather couldn't have been more perfect, at about 80 degrees with soft clouds and a breeze. Afterward, they danced in an open-air pavilion as the sun set over the mountains.
Congratulations, Emilie and Joey, and thank you for making me feel welcome on such short notice! Holly, I hope you feel better soon!

| Whooho, I'm getting in an update before a month has passed. Go me! ...Though you'd think I could have done this a little sooner being unemployed and all. Right now, I'm blaming spring and my gardening attempts. My herbs are just starting to come out from the soil (I don't cook - they were planted since I heard honeybees like them), I got my first flowers from my Asiatic lilies and my rose bushes, and my vines are growing like pretty weeds. I really can't wait for my honeysuckle vines to come in so I can cover more of my back fence.
But since no one cares about that, here's the update:
Title: Game Restart: New Platform - chapter three
Pairings: Leon x Seifer (eventual), Cloud x Leon (implied)
Chapter Summary: Seifer is sorceress bait.
Lovely betas: ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) smgriffin and Jess Almasy
Word Count: 18,096
Also, I got fanart! Lady Yuskreven sent me a great pic for FNFE of Sekre holding Leander. Sekre is just as I pictured with an intelligent stare that would make people squirm. Meanwhile, Leander looks perfectly happy while held in the arms of a murderous beast. Just like a son of SxS. ;) Oh, and may I also point out this was sent to me 4 or 5 days after chapter 15 was posted? If only I could write chapters that fast.
Next update is going to be, of course, FNFE ch16. The muses are chatting with me, so we'll see how fast that gets written. Also, I'm pretty much certain that I'll end up writing chapters 16 and 17 back to back since ch16 will be a cliffhanger. So, depending on how things go, FNFE will be completed by July or August. No one is more surprised than me.

Everything from how Gabe and Tycho met each other to the Brahe family's generation spanning fascination with the occult. The game has a ton of content in it if you end up liking the setting. -Gabe out He's not wrong, actually.

With Gabriel leaving town, we saw an opportunity to indulge ourselves in questions like "what happened in there, exactly?" There are three such indulgences, so hopefully we weren't the only people curious about these events, which take place in the womb of the Ancient Earth. I've been inundated with news really from the moment my cohort left, most of which will have to be left to our ... | | comments: Leave a comment |

Matt and Nicole
Aspen, Colorado
May 3, 2008
I got a wonderful email from Nicole and Matt yesterday! It means so much to me to receive such a thoughtful thank you. They gave me permission to post it here, so I thought I'd share. Thanks, Nicole and Matt!
Charlotte & Mike,
You are amazing! We got home late last night and I stayed up as long as I could looking at the photos. I can't wait to go home tonight and just get the chance to settle in and look at all of them.
Honestly, I don't want to sound too gushy- but I am just overwhelmed by these photographs. On one hand, I feel like you captured the entire day in such an honest, real way which I absolutely love- but on the other hand, I also think we now have beautiful pieces of art to put on our walls and share with our grandchildren one day. I don't know if words can adequately express how much these photographs mean to both of us.
You and Mike were so willing to put yourselves out there and basically become part of our family for the weekend. The time you took to get to know people and learn about our family and friends makes the photos you took just that much more personal and meaningful to us. By the end of the weekend, we felt like you and Mike were old friends.
That said, we hope you will stay friends! You have a standing invitation for a ski weekend anytime- or a dinner date if you two ever find yourselves in Aspen again. And you have solidified your position in our lives as the official Burg Family Photographer...Im already dreaming up excuses for another photoshoot.
So, thanks for everything, both of you.
Love, Nicole and Matt | | comments: 10 comments or Leave a comment |
