Perhaps it wasn’t a wise idea to wear a long-sleeved shirt to work today; but I thought I would start my “countdown to WaMu” by actually dressing business casual. Tomorrow it’s jeans and a short-sleeve for this guy. It’s a little warmer than I would like it.

And just watch…it’s gonna be freezing here tomorrow.

Well, the rest of my weekend was quite eventful. I met with Keri and Sir Scott (whom I haven’t seen in close to a year or more), and we went to dinner at BJ’s (mmm, Pazookie!). It was great to be able to catch up with them and ride in Keri’s new ‘stang (“Lucky!” *spoken in a true Napoleon Dynymite-esque way*) We also saw Dukes of Hazzard, which was also appropriate in light of Keri’s new car; I wanted to joy ride home after the movie, but she didn’t think that was such a great idea. Oh darn! :) The movie was great too; highly entertaining. And of course, Jessica Simpson is an absolute goddess! I’ve said it once or twice, and I’ll say it again; Nick Lachey is a lucky man. Jess is absolutely gorgeous, sexy, hot in this movie…and the antics of Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville are funny too. Definitely an entertaining couple of hours. Not oscar material; but then again, who goes to see a movie like that for anything more than entertainment? I liked it. :)

Also managed to squeeze in another photo shoot; this time with a dude (yeah, gotta be well-rounded), and the pictures came out pretty decently. I’m really starting to enjoy shoots more and more as I get to know what I’m doing. All part of the learning process. I’m going to get a gallery up and running with some photos from shoots with Megs and Dea and others…I’m still trying to put together my portfolio for our business site and of course, takes time I don’t have. So sad. :(

Last night, Danny and I headed out to Copley Symphony Hall for the Ben Folds / Rufus Wainwright show. Talk about a smashing good time! The show was outstanding, with some highlights being the Dr. Dre song and Philosophy (with the dancing girl that rushed up to the stage and started the mob trend). Everything rocked, though. Pics to come later, so stay tuned…

Another highlight, aside from Ben and Rufus and their general awesomness, was Ben Lee, who opened for them. Very talented dude with a great sound. I would definitely advise anyone who has ears to give him a listen because it was a very enjoyable experience to hear his music.

And that brings us to today. Monday. Ugh. I wish it were Sunday…because that’s my fun day. More blogging later…now, it’s Ben Folds on the iPod and icky files to work on. Don’t work too hard, people!
