Today’s News

Long Exposure
Today started with me waking up around 10:30am, and thinking it was 3pm. So I hop up, take a shower, and get ready for the day. Only to find out, it’s REALLY early. It all worked out. Sean woke up too, and we headed to the Round Tower.

Without getting too mooshy, let me just say that the entire city is sensory overload for a visual person. Every step I take, aligns me with a new set of buildings, architecture, people, lines, forms, colors…. and I just want to take 100000 pictures of it all. I’m in heaven.

On a funny note tonight, I’m outside Sean’s gig, walking around this walking area, minding my own business. I obviously have an agenda. With my camera in my hand. But still somehow get hit on twice, within a 15 minute time span! After I got rid of them, everyone else seemed to leave me a lone. Whew.

Long day! More tomorrow, then Sunday we’re off to Ireland. :) :) I can’t wait!

Weird note today, there is a guy playing a full size upright piano, outside in the middle of the walking street. He’s good, he has CD’s for sale. He has a sign. “Please ask for photos”. I totally respect that.
I ask. “No he says, today is not a good picture day”. And before I could stop myself I say…. “Well when is a good day?” Could’ve been taken a few ways, one…. ha ha ha, there are no GOOD picture days for any of us right? Or… when is a good day, I’ll come back, since I’ll be in Copenhagen. But I think the third way he took it was…. “Uhhh well, then when is a good day?” The bitchy way. I really didn’t mean for it to come out that way…. but it did. So, sorry piano guy!! Next time put a sign up that doesn’t invite people to ask you to take your picture. Post one very clearly that says. “Please do not ask for pictures, today is not a good day…. ”

I got a couple nice shots of Sean today, hopefully the final versions will be up soon. Retro, our cool coffee house is the bomb! A next little vibe, and great coffee. Hopefully we’ll go there tomorrow, and might be streaming justin. I also need to figure out a mutual time to skype my babies. I’m missing them!!!
