Bipolar

artshow_bipolar.jpg

I’m at the 2nd WORK Artshow, which seems to be quite a success. The theme this time is “Bipolar” and people interpreted it in various ways. It’s neat to see so many creative people all in one little room sharing the stories behind their pieces. I missed the last one, “Robots and Bunnies”, but saw all the pieces hanging in the back room. It’s funny that Jes went to that one while I was at a bridal shower and now I’m at this one while Jes is at a bachelor party. Hey, Kenneth came by too! That was cool.

Anyway, I’m hanging out with the brother and his friends and I trying out a fast lens (Nikon 50mm f1.4) that I rented for the weekend. It normally retails for about $280 but I got to rent it for $12 for the entire weekend! It was well worth it too because I didn’t have to use flash all night. I can’t believe the low light shots that I was taking and how clear they came out. I may be renting it one more time for Patty’s wedding next Saturday and it will probably be one to put on my wishlist.

birthdays are yummy

When September rolls around, I get to eat lots of good food. It’s because both Jes and I have our birthdays in Setember along with the brother and several other friends. You just GOTTA at least have dinner if not a party. And with dinner comes birthday cake or dessert. Well, Jes’ birthday was on Wednesday and we’ve already had a really good steak with a Sinful Chocolate Cake (above) AND a Chinese dinner with cake from Goldilocks. It’s just too bad that I have a bridesmaid dress to fit into next Saturday. It fits now but we’ll see if it allows me to breathe next week.

In other news, Jes is on a cruise for Bang’s Bachelor Disaster. It sounds like a hoot with 15 guys on a boat with lots of buffet food and drinks. I even heard that they picked up a sailor suit for Bang to wear on the boat. It’s going to be awesome…and disasterous. Good luck, Bang. I hope you don’t get saran wrapped to a pole this weekend.
