The Wordpress installation went so completely smooth! I am super happy with this system! I am struggling to get my CSS back to normal though, as you can see things are jumbled around. Thanks for being patient and understanding that this little nerd can only be so quick while trying to work his normal job!

I had to jump the gun on the CSS because the comments increased exponentially since I made the post about it.

I’m taking my blog down temporarily while I upgrade to Wordpress. I’m getting too many junk comments about crap and the like. Wordpress is cleaner and has some nice junk-comment eliminating plugins. So if things look strange for a bit, do not fret. I will be back in the game soon.

I went to Taylor’s Holiday bash last night! It was great! Never been there before, but it’s a pretty happenin place! And the best part was unexpectedly running in to Hayley! I haven’t seen that girl since Christmas last year! Holy exclamation points batman! Her cute new boyfriend was there too, the guy is awesome. He’s my new friend now Hayl, hear that? mine. hehe.

I also took some random photos of the nativity set at home.

Had some fun with the 10D at Gavin’s party on Saturday. Nat lent me his 50mm F/1.4 prime. oooh so nice! And more excitingly my Canon EF 28-135mm IS USM Lense is on the way! whoooey!
Enjoy the pics.

Here is the mentioned photo that was drawn of me this weekend. I think I like it. It’s always fun to think about how other people perceive you visually, artistically, and intellectually. Having a brother as an artist has really opened my eyes to visual perception - or at least my attempt at being artistic. It has affected me primarily on how I take photos. I find myself thinking “What would Nat do on this one?” while trying to capture a specific image or moment. I can only hope that other people perceive them in a positive way as well….

Enter Canon 10D! The hunt for a lense continues. Nat has been lucky enough to find a slew of exact focal length lenses that will suit him as a photographer. While I am just an amatuer/hobbyist I still hunt for my first versatile lense that will take me to the next step. After using the camera with a borrowed entry level lense this weekend, I find that it’s easy to overshoot events/people - especially with a digital!

she’s driving away too fast
reach out and touch your life
you’re leaving behind that something
that someone that carries you home

so kiss me and say its alright
words from the lips of a hero
i know that you said you’ll be fine
but i can’t just let this go

i can’t sleep tonight
the window is open wide
dont’ leave me here
to touch this ground alone

and i can’t sleep tonight
my heart is open wide
i feel your life’s deep echo
washing over me

i can feel you echo over me
i can hear you washing over me
i can see the sun is rising
in the distance i hear your cry
and the hero awakes in me

My orchestra concert is tonight. We are doing Rutter’s Gloria with the choir. It is so fun mixing a nearly full symphony orchestra withe a choir! Goosebumps galore! I’ll probably hit up madtown immediately following.
Also if anyone is looking for a fun, cute Christmas time this weekend head up to Cedarburg, WI for “Christmas In The Country” Great arts & crafts, delicious cafes and candy shops, and my favorite part - the Kettle Corn stand. If you haven’t seen or eaten REAL kettle corn, not just the mediocre microwave crap, then make sure you go check this out. They have a humungous copper lined iron kettle where they make a large batch of the sweetness right in front of you. It’s so huge you could swim in it. Tastes best fresh from the kettle!

I’ll be playing Paddy’s Pub tonight! (12/02/04) 8:30 PM!

I know I haven’t been there in a while….
