um, so, a lot has happened in the past few months. my life is ever changing. sometimes it's exhausting. sometimes it's great. always my own fault though. I can't say I'd change the way I live my life, though. As of right now, I don't have a solid home, and I'm okay with that. I can honestly say that I never want to live in Western Mass again, and I'm doing my best to keep it that way, even if it means I live out of my car. I've lucked out though. Darlene and I are still cool, so a lot of my things are at the house, and I can use the shower and washer and dryer. I pay 150 a month for that, which might be pricey, but for now, I'll take it. I'm very lucky to have someone like colin, too. He lets me sleep at his apartment, which rules. I'm not used to guys being so giving. I'm always stuck at the ass end of relationships. always being the one to pay, or provide. I'm not used to it, but I'm certainly not complaining.
also, been to a lot more shows than ever lately. that's another thing I love about the east side and the city. way. more. shows. good ones. Oh, and there was that one where aaron and I drove 30 hours to get to. which brings me to another note: BLOCK PARTY '09
Never have i been more scared, than driving my tiny, shitty, japanese car for 12 hours in a row, but damn was it worth it. new orleans rules so hard. the trip itself was awesome too. I think we spent more time driving to new orleans than actually being there, which is a shame because I wish I could have stayed longer. it's very relaxed there, just what I love. the pre show was awesome. i had my fair share of bud lights and jim beam. needless to say I was feeling alright. met some great people. heard some sweet tunes. Block Party itself was very kick ass as well. It was perfect. Spending an entire day in great weather, surrounded by great people, seeing some of my favorite bands. I barely knew anyone there but it really didn't matter to me. I was pretty high for most of the day, which made it so much better. I also ate a spectacular burrito. Later that night, Aaron and I sat on the balcony of the hotel room (that matt wixson and friends were so kind to let us stay in) and talked about a whole bunch of stuff, you know, life, the universe, etc. it was real cool. the trip back was shorter, but only by like 3 hours. Aaron picked up most of the driving, and I slept (felt kinda bad though). Great trip.
I'm also getting more productive with my pictures. I'm only picking the best from each set and marking them. I hope more people start to enjoy my stuff. I keep getting compliments on my "soft box" (as one of them called it). I like what it does for my pictures, and it cost me next to nothing. Maybe if I ever make more money, I'll get a third (quality) bounce flash, and maybe some other bells and whistles. I'm glad I got the fish eye adapter. Even though it's not the greatest quality fisheye, it gets the job done. if I had a farther ranged lens, they wouldn't be as cheap looking, but for now, I'm pretty satisfied. I even made a myspace for my photos. http://myspace.com/lindsaysandersonphoto how cool am i
Work has been very weird lately. My hours are all over the map, my favorite co-worker got fired, a dumb bitch quit because she didn't want to work the deli, leaving me with a ton of bullshit, and some how, the only people who can cover any shift i need off are the ones that can't have anymore hours because they can't go over time because it's only valid if authorized. I don't understand. maybe I'm not looking deep enough into it, but we seem to be thriving with business. But no one is getting raises, time and a half or and other benefits, yet we're hiring a ton of new workers. I wish I could just have full time hours with benefits and that's that. I love working at bob's, don't get me wrong. I really do enjoy myself most of the time at work, and I would be thrilled to work there a lot more. I wish I could. I guess I'll have to find a second job.
yea, I think that's about it for now.
