A Smattering

If any of you tried accessing my Den of Iniquity last week, you no doubt noticed that it was having some problems. Someone exploited a security flaw in my gallery and uploaded some junk scripts. That lead my webhost to shut down the site and then their exceedingly poor customer service kept it offline even longer. I'll be moving to a new host soon, trust me.
Other than that, last week was fairly uneventful. Some inspiration struck while I was in the heart of downtown on my way home from work Friday and I've decided to start carrying my camera around with me again. I may also see if I can arrange to take a day off work, or maybe just spend a Saturday shooting out there.
Speaking of photography, my imminent raise has got be thinking about a new camera and other gear. The Olympus E-500 is looking pretty sweet, and I can get it online for under $600, with a lens. Under $700 with two lenses. After that some real lights, etc. and I'm on a roll.
Which reminds: I'd really like to get more people to photograph, especially out and about downtown. I really want a variety of people to work on challenging my skills and building my portfolio. Help a brother out, yo!
Changing topic entirely, Saturday was Samantha's birthday party. I drank plenty of whisky (It was even Maker's Mark, my preferred brand.), saw plenty of boobies, reconnected with some cool people, and met some new ones. All in all, a complete success. I even gave Sam her hat back before I left for the night. (Okay, morning...)
And while we're talking about parties, I've picked a theme for my birthday party in February. After a few years of pirates, togas, and porn I'm changing things up again with a swanky cocktail party. Gentlemen should wear jackets and ties, and ladies dresses. Go Watch Breakfast at Tiffany's to get some ideas. More details (Including location, since I hope to have a swanky one lined up.) will follow in coming weeks and months.
Don't get so excited about my birthday that you forget Elizebeth's Poker Tournament/Birthday Party, though! And keep your calendars clear for our Holiday Stocking Exchange on December 30th!
