Burst Mode

On my recent drive to PDX, I accidentally discovered the burst mode on my camera phone. It takes a rapid sequence of shots. I am seriously and shamelessly addicted.

The Sex and the City movie premier with my ladies is tonight. After all the hype, it is actually happening. I've heard good things. I am ready to see all of the fancy clothing. And shoes. Stay tuned.

I AM A NERD!

I have just returned from Los Angeles after my 2-day sugaring training. It has come to my attention that I have never posted any photos of Helle and all my friends (save for the ones who have visited me there) have ever seen it either. So, here are some photo updates. There is one of the lobby area and one of the treatment room.

LA cracks me up. There is no other place like it. Where else can you get an In-N-Out burger "protein style"? Us South Beachers love that shit. And where can you get your pubes sugared into the shape of a martini glass and encrusted with pink Swarovski crystals? If it's equivalent to Samantha's pearl thong...no thanks. I'll go with the straight up coast-to-coast as they like to call it. No muss, no fuss. And no bling. Speaking of Sex and the City...t-minus 9 days until the movie premiers and I will flock with all my girlfriends to see that sucker on opening night.

I also was introduced to TED. Leave it to a bunch of brainy programmers who sit around and try to come up with the next best idea to get me hooked on "TED Talks". TED is an annual conference that only costs $6,000 to attend. That's if your application is accepted. But there is really no better place to be inspired by the capacity of humans. Take a taste test for yourself. I think all my friends and family will find something that tickles your fancies. Here are two of my favorites:

Pour some sugar on me

So folks, I will be heading down to LA in a couple weeks to get certified in sugaring as a method of hair removal. I can report after having a brazilian via sugaring that it is highly prefereable to wax. Less painful. No risk of cross contamination. Less risk of ingrown hairs. Little to no skin trauma. And it leaves you clean as a whistle. In short, it rules!

Cat in Aktion

My fondness for cats continues to grow every day. Creature, the OG of all cats, has returned to his normal self of late. He has been whacking the dogs on their noses, meowing at walls, acting all self-righteous and entitled. Tara and I could really tell that he had been feeling sick for a while because when he started regaining his health, he was up to his usual antics. My favorite is when he screams at me for food at 6am. The other day he jumped up behind me on the chair as I was at the computer and started clawing my back. I'm not a hater. I got nothin' but love for this cat.

In other cat news, I came across this cool project.

I love the shots taken by the Fritz the cat. Here's a little short film to show you how it's done...
