So, it looks like a bomb went off in our living room…but the good news is it’s just August’s crap all over the place. :)

For those of you who don’t know August, I feel very sorry for you…August is quite the cool guy. He was our previous roommate/inhabitant of NGS 2.0 and left for Alaska to help his parents build a house. It doesn’t get any manlier than that, going to build a house with your own two hands in the wilderness. But anyway…he’s back and visiting and it’s good to have him around, despite the pile of crap in the middle of the living room.

Friday, went out to Hooters in PB with a couple nice guys. It was good to hang with Dan and Brian and kick back a couple of brews and chew down some fried goodness. Lots of hotties…but the place was packed, so they were running around like mad. But we did see Courtney…

On Saturday, we shot Courtney at Downing Studios. Can’t post any of the pics, unfortunately, because they are for a gift for her boyfriend and I was sworn to secrecy…but believe me when I tell you they are hot. :) I’ve decided that I need a girlfriend that would do that for me. I’m currently accepting applications.

Anyway, Courtney is such a sweetheart and we had a lot of fun. The shoot ran longer than expected, but we still had fun. Good times.

Sunday was rather lazy…spent the morning editing pictures and stressing out…one of our VX-2100s started crapping out. Nothing pisses me off more than things not working when I need them to. I called Sony and apparently these random purple streaks are a normal occurrence and a known problem with the CCD…so needless to say, we were down one VX-2100 for the Village Church program tonight. We made up for it with my other palm-sized 3CCD cam and another backup…but I think we got some great footage anyway.

Brian, my dad, and I shot a choir program tonight at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe and it was quite lovely. I’ll be working on that one this week…my goal is to turn it around in a week. I totally think I can do it…that is, if I don’t get distracted. I can’t make any promises, though. :)

I’ll also be sending our poor cam to Sony this week to get that CCD replaced. We’ll need it in the next few weeks for end-of-the-year school programs coming up. Poor little guy.

Hmmm…what else?? I think that’s about it for now folks. Not looking forward to the “W,” But if I can make it through Monday, everything will be okay. I have lots of fun photo shoots with week with pretty girls that will make it all better.
