amezriMan.. okay.. sort of didn't write down about the week and I'll forget now. Uhm. Tuesday & Wednesday I hung out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenmaab. Went to her house one day and she came over to mine the next. Good times. Got some crafty things done and fixed her gmail/firewall issue.
Friday I went to Carrabba's with some friends from work. Frankly, the food was greasy, too salty, and rather unimpressive. Meh. I don't think I'll voluntarily go there again. It was a fun time out though. After dinner,erintheodd and I went to AC Moore to browse the crafty things. Of course, I couldn't find the yarn I was looking for. Meh.
During the course of dinner (or.. the end?) I found out thaterintheodd and I actually worked at Media Play at pretty much the same time. What. The. Frack. I'm usually good with faces and stuff and I don't remember her at all... or her husband, who also apparently worked there. We did remember a lot of the same people who were employed there, but I'm thinking maybe she started when I was away at college and had only come back for the breaks to work. Hm. Very interesting.
Yesterday, besides freaking out at the snow, I went withsmashedrecords and some of her friends to see Ten Year Vamp at the Last Resort Lounge. Other than some other people's cranky, pissy mood and the appearance of an unexpected and unwelcome stalker, it was a really great time! Wait. I forgot to mention the really drunk girls and the flashing contest... in which I saw entirely too much of people I didn't want to see anything of. There was also Drunk Bathroom Girl, who was so completely pissed at one point three people had to hold her up. Before that, she was up front falling all over the band's equipment. Ugh. Sloppy drunken ho-bags need to be removed immediately for the safety and sanity of everyone. Though, personally, I wouldn't have minded if she'd fallen backwards and smashed her empty head open on the floor :x
ANYWAY. Photos. I had some real issues with the lighting in the venue and I hate flash photos. Because of the layout of the place, I knew we'd be standing in front of the band in the front row, so I madesmashedrecords ask Debbie if it was okay for me to take photos :-P She said it was all right as long as I didn't take too many -- 400 was too much, but 200 was okay. Haha. I ended up with something like 270 before the crowd got so out of control I decided to give up on pictures for the night before someone dumped a beer on my equipment. Anyway. I did take a lot of flash photos, but only when the strobe was on and with the flash dialed back. The rest are basically no flash on auto mode (when the strobe was going) or P mode set at ISO 80 or 100. Got some decent shots. I might try some slow-sync flash next time as the first one under the cut looks pretty cool.
Full album from the show here.
Hm. And let's see... This morning there was yet more snow. Actually, been snowing all day. Fracking winter.seijitataki had heard Best Buy was going to have Wiis today, so we went over when they opened. Too late, obviously I told you so. as they'd already given out tickets for the 113 or whatever they had in. *shrug* Better luck next time? Whatever. I went to Borders and got my special edition of Waitress with recipe cards and since it was on sale for $20, I also picked up Stitch N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker. The other books in the series were good and maybe I can understand these crochet directions :-P
Of course, I had a TON of other things I should be doing instead of.. not really doing anything. So instead of laundry or whatever else, I think I will go put a custom logo screen on my laptop (DORK!!) and watch whatever's on my DVR from the last week before Tin Man is on tonight.
