Cinema 2009

It's the end of the year and you know what that means...heavens no, not dieting. That's right, time to start thinking about the Oscars! Here is an amazing culmination of the movies of 2009 cut together beautifully by some guy I've never heard of, but thanks to YouTube you too can see it. Start thinking about those costumes. The Oscar party is just around the corner.

Blizzard: Day 3

Here it is. The end of my snowed in Blizzard days. By the third day, we were covered in snow and it took on a pretty glittering quality in the late morning sun. While I was in the hold up in the quilt room I made three stockings for my house and hung them on my staircase when I got home. Even if your Christmas wasn't white, I hope it was fun just the same. Merry Christmas everyone.

The Blizzard: Day 2

At the end of day one we lost our power. Day two didn't turn up any power either, but it proved a most productive day. Mom made a snowman and snow angels. I attempted to sled, but didn't do too well. And dad shoveled snow so that we could walk from the house to the road and dug out the van so we could drive, not that we really went anywhere. The little cold I had developed turned nasty and I ended up curled up in mom's quilt room working away on a project you'll see in day three's chronicle.

The Blizzard: Day 1

Our white Christmas came a little early this year. We had a massive winter storm dump over a foot of snow on us over night. Mom and I took the dogs out for a short walk. It was brutal and beautiful. I almost didn't make it over from work, but now I'm snowed in for the weekend with a nice woodburning stove, a sled, lots of hot cholcolate and christmas cookies, and mom's quilt room at my disposal. It doesn't get much better than this.

My new roommate

Richard is my new roommate. You might recognize him from the sniper pistachio nut commercial I did (neither commercial made it into the top ten of the competition.) We were talking right after the shoot and he mentioned that he was looking for a place in Asheville and I mentioned that I had a room to rent. He moved in a few days later. Richard is an actor, model, and masseur among other things. He's currently working on starting a non-profit, but in the mean time he needed head shots. So we went around town in the freezing cold and then ended up shooting some at home. I traded the photo session for a massage. It was a great trade!

Game Night

A while back I hosted a game night at my house. Everyone had a blast. Ashley was over to visit, and you might recognize Tim making a funny face in one shot from the Dating Game I did. Throw a game night party, or go to one, they are loads of fun. Just have everyone bring over their favorite games and play.
