My Ears.

After 20 years of deliberation I've decided to get my ears peirced. I'm planning on having it done at the piercing pegoda in the mall. Anyone who wants to accompany on this mission I would love the support. It will have to be done next week though because I want to do a little more swimming this summer.

Herbs



Today Scott and I destroyed a perfectly good herb garden. We are making way for grass. Lots of grass. I liked the little herb garden along the walkway, but I think cleaning up the front yard will be much nicer in the long run. I'm trying to decide what shrubs will be best for foundation plants. Lots and lots of choices.

We also - in an act of extereme home ownership - replaced the trash disposal today. We purchased a lovely half horse power insinkerater and installed it ourselfes. Turns out I have a MUCH longer attention span for such things. Mr. Scottie got quite fed up and I finished the work. :) girl power!!!

Flaming Lips - (happy)!


Photographed the Flaming Lips at Lollapalooza.It was one of the funnest shows I"ve photographed in ages. It put a huge smile on my face. Speaking of smiles... I made a great smile joke today and the inteded reciever didn't laugh. He IM'ed me a smiley face followed by an explimation point (mathmatically happy factorial) The joke was I responded with "happy factorail is darn near Nirvana). Te he he ... just blending calculus and 90's rock bands. Anyways.

The crowd went NUTZ with the Flaming Lips played. They put on a great show. Everyone who I talked to who was at the show said it was one of those great moments!!!

Unrelated Mary trivia. I'm in one of the last scenes in thier documentary. I was making stills for one of there videos and the camera pans past me. :)!

Lollapalooza


I did the lollapalooza thing this week. Chicago is such a fun city. If it weren't for that pesky boyfriend of mine I would relocate in a heart beat. My camera rubs on my side and gives me a gross bruise. See??? I've also turned the muffs hot pink. They are pretty cool!!! Another national music photographer who shoots for VH1 and some other heavy weights stole my idea and is now rocking muffs too. I came home with a nasty respritory infection and a sinus infection. Stupid lack of an immune system. Rrrg.
