Well, that sums it up. In between projects (and trips to the lab) I've been bored... the weather has been blistering, so I've been forced to breed
-photographs that is- on the digital.
Ha! You thought I was going to say we're having another kid! ;)
(actually, we've got pups on the way, but save for another post)

so with all these B words running around... I started looking around the house at what I could photograph
(kids aside, I know you're all inundated with kid shots) and came up with *routines*.

So I've been photographing routines around the house
(my ridiculous coffee drinking habit first thing in the morning... for one) reading, cleaning, hugging (the kids) for another.

I realized *RESTING* was no where in any of my routines (unless you count 6 hours of tossing and turning)

So here I am at rest.

I actually like this because I rarely ever do a straightforward self portrait. I'm usually hiding behind glasses, kids or gear.

I think the last straightforward one I was wearing tap shoes (I saw that thread of self ports revived too by some newbies!)

SO! SHOW ME YOUR ROUTINES.
**Disclaimer** If any of you (and you know who you are...!) try to post sex up here as "routine" I'll have to virtually hit you in the head! ;)


And now that I've rested...on to planning... I'm trying to cook up some more Nor Cal events before year end! Stay tuned.

You're so cute!

I'll see what I can find.

Cornflake girl! Love that! Jeeesh I remember when I was [thought of as] "waaay out there" as a very young teenager because I liked Tori Amos! I love her intensity on stage. Wow.

Yes, see what you can find and post post post!
hows the LA/Norcal Trip looking???

That thread title definitely got my attention.

More Nor Cal events? I asked Loren if he was into a regular pizza night, and he said yes. Now we just have to coordinate and make it happen.

Good Im hungry for pizza. When are you free, now? ;)
I am SOOOO flexible right now... I've been teaching only ONE day a week! (Mondays), I sub when needed, and my private lessons have been really scattered through the summer so I have a nice open schedule.

I leave for LA next Friday. We are not going to make it up to see my bro (napa) but will be staying in the LA area.

well i will try to get to LA, if you are still looking for an LA get together !

I still like Thursdays. I'm not free every week. But maybe every other week. And I don't have to be there, if you and Loren want to have some pie. Hopefully some other Bay Area people will be interested. Next week I'll be away on Thursday.

OK how about the Thursday after? Want to set it up, put it out there and then see who decides to partake? Does that Pizza place work consistently or should we change it up.
Location wise I think its halfway for both of us, but I definitely wouldnt mind coming out to the Peninsula.
B.

That pizza place is awesome. That's part of the draw :D

Thurday after next sounds good. Get the word out and I'll be there. I'll work on Loren, too.

[wicked cute! love the expression and pose

I pasted our likeness on the thread! ha!ha!

thanks Nat. Was just trying to look relaxed.... and goofy of course!

I'm looking forward to having that yummy pizza and catching up.

btw..that's one of the best self portraits I've seen in a long time. Very personable.

Keep me posted on the events....

Loren

Well i was bored tonight when i was supposed to be working, so i used my flatemates printer to waste a bit of ink. :D

Kieran! Awesome!
That is one way to kill some time! (and ink!)
A giant puzzle!

Loren, send me a self portrait or put one in your gallery so I can add it to the thread invite. Im hoping we'll draw a crowd ;) hahahahaha.

Cant wait to see you guys! (and uh....gals? hello! I know we've got some ladies in the group!?)
