Photography Update
More 'A Portraiture's. Shot 471 photos today. That puts my iPhoto library at some 7,223 photos. To all of you I stalker-shot, you know who you are, thank you for putting up with me; it paid off. On a similar note, my Flickr now has 3,350 views. Thats a trivial number for many photographers on Flickr (who get that many views per picture per day), but I'm really excited.

Summer Night, A Portraiture
Photo by SHMKR;
Written by Eli Coon:
"It had that classic American feel. The night, not the city. Western cities could never have that kind of appeal. It’s not that they don’t have imitations of all the east coast commodities, they just don’t have the character. It took longer than a century to build that experience, and cities like Boston, and Philadelphia- even they weren’t born with it. Portland is a child in America, and while that sleek, cocky swagger might seem eternally debonair in European cafes and crémeries, this is America. And In America, experience is sexy. And that sleek American night was just asking to be plundered. It was the sort of summer night where anything but rolling down your window seems like blasphemy. Rolling down your window because even at sixty, the air is so warm that it couldn’t put a chill in your body. It was the sort of summer night for mischief. Lucky for us, mischief is what we do best."

Radio Show Contest
Station 97.5 was hosting a competition wherein callers would give a common word in english vernacular that wasn't in the dictionary, then use it in a sentence. About three minutes into the competition a man called: "Hi, me name's Dave." DJ: "Hey Dave, so what's your word?" Dave: "G-O-A-N, pronounced 'go-an'". DJ: "That's great! I don't believe that is in the dictionary! Now, can you use it in a sentence for us?" Dave: "GO-AN F*** YOURSELF!" There was a silence, then the sound of the call ending. After a few minutes, the DJ had regained his energy and continued the competition. Five minutes had passed when another call came in. DJ: "So what's your word?" Caller: "Smee" DJ: "You're right, I don't believe that's in the dictionary! Use it in a sentence?" Caller: "Smee again, go-an f*** yourself!"

Little Red Riding Hood.
A few days ago I posted a modern rendition of Goldie Locks, so I am now following it up with another classic re-make: Little Red Riding Hood:

Blue Team
Catlin Gabel Mock Trial Team Blue will be going to the States. After a strenuous and testing day at regionals in which both Team Blue and White did very well, Team Blue placed fourth, allowing them to move on to the next level along with Lincoln and St. Mary's. The competition will use the same court case, so they are already prepared, but you can be sure that won't stop Eli from and Leah from pushing full force the coming two weeks or so prior to the State Competition. Many people on the White Team expressed their joy and congrats to the Blue Team, but in secret, it was a rather unanimous agreement that though we were happy for them, we would not want to be in their place. For us, Mock Trial is over. We can breath again.

The Pickled Czar
What would you be willing to do? And let the evidence show that nothing could be done. And understand that this was known by the aides well in advance. Apparently they gave the command, but she paid them to say it, you can tell. There's just that look in here eye; especially the third one, right above her nose. And Marx supplied the explanation: that capitalism causes despair. Unfortunately, so does revolution. The poor Czar, he didn't even know until it was too late, he was stuck in a pickle, stuck in a jam; well he was stuck from the very beginning.

Slow
I apologize(?) for the drastic decline in posts recently. It's not that I've lost interest, I haven't; it is simply that I really have very little to write about. Class trip today. SYC Regatta coming up. Chaucer day coming up. Mock Trial dress rehersal for the final competition on Saturday. What's up with you? I want to know what you're up to and how life is treating you.
