A strange Sunday has snuck up on me. My allergies are at an all time high and I can't seem to get my head to stop feeling all fuzzy.

Photos need to be gathered, edited and burned to disc ASAP. I can't help but go back and forth on my feelings on shooting weddings. At times they're amazing-- photographic, moving and fun-- others are grating and boring.

The Vikings seem to be sleep walking through this game today against the Titans. God knows the Titans stink but I feel even the 'Queens are waiting for this year to fall out from underneath them. We'll see.

Talk about random thoughts, eh? How about this one... Keane is as good as they say. I'm hooked. I'm also falling in love with music again. I seem to go in waves on this too. I'd love to hear what music you think I should listen to.

My three Must Hear's:
Everyone's Changing - Keane
I'd Rather Dance With You - Kings of Convenience
Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered - Ella Fitzgerald

I wasn't too motivated today. Our network went down, some light FCP action and it rained off and on. The weather inside was a lot like outside-- dreary and dull.

I'm off to take a nap before I hit a party! Enjoy!

So Damn Lucky : Dave Matthews

"So Damn Lucky"



Everything's different

My head in the clouds



I hit this corner

With my foot on the gass

I started sliding, I lose it

Everything's different just like that



Oh my God, wait and see

What will soon become of me?

Frozen heart

Screaming wheels

Does that screaming come from me?

So damn lucky, when went on ahead

You say, you say

I see you later

I heard what you said a few minutes later

I'm sliding

Everything's different, again



Oh my God, wait and see

What will soon become of me?

This frozen heart

Screaming wheels

But does that screaming come from me?

I'm dizzy from all this spinning

Now I'm thinking that you did all you could

When you said my love

Take it slowly

Ok, is what I said

Oh my God, wait and see

What will soon become of me?

Frozen heart

Screaming wheels

But does that screaming come from me?

Take me back, just before I was spinning

Take me back, just before I got dizzy

Take me back, amazing what a minute can do

Just like you

So, so, so, so, up, around, around, around

Amazing what a minute can do

Around, Around, Around

Ok....

Well, here it is. The first in a series of shots that will hopefully continue M-F as I hope to take pictures on my lunch break in downtown Minneapolis.

I'm really looking forward to this, getting back to the basics of composition and color. We'll see how well I can work with a compact camera. ;-)

Spam Bill Sent to Senate; Senate Spam Filter Deletes It

SatireWire | Briefs



Washington, D.C. (SatireWire.com) — The anti-spam bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday was sent to the Senate today, but the Senate's spam filtering software automatically determined it was junk mail and deleted it. Amy Lee, Chief System Administrator of the Senate, defended the software's actions: "Our filter recognizes the email addresses of anyone known to propagate junk," she said. "This one came from house.gov. Of course the program blocked it."



Undeterred, House leaders vowed to send the Unsolicited Electronic Mail Act again. "We sent that bill to the Senate because they were referred or requested additional information," said Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M. "I don't want to waste their time or ours, but we are seeking positive, motivated individuals that are serious about voting for this bill and making their dreams come true! Hot House staffers are waiting for their call !!!"
