So Much to Talk About!

What a weekend! First off, whenever there's a long weekend, it's great! But when you add activities, and meeting people, and doing absolutely NOTHING, it's even better!

The weekend started off for me rather stressful, on friday afternoon, cause I had some work stuff to get done, seriously, number crunching! I hate number crunching! But thanks to my good friend Mariko and the wonders of Excel, I was able to get a whole year's worth of numbers down to 1,214. Long story, so don't ask. Let's just say it was time consuming!

The real fun started when I left my "day" job for the awesome long weekend. From work, I went home and worked on an album for another client, then logged on to Xbox Live for some Halo 3 fun with the guys! Woo hoo!!! Nothing like wearing futuristic space armor and going after all your buddies with lazer guns (and that's before logging in!)

Saturday was even better as I was able to meet with my "first" wedding couple. Michelle and Rene, two of the coolest people you will ever meet! Plus, they are great together, seriously! Very fun and outgoing, and just the nicest of people. Oddly enough, it wasn't a "cold" call for Michelle to hire me as their wedding photographer, cause back in high school I dated her aunt, but hey, a referral is a referral right? Thank goodness I don't burn bridges!!! Here's a photo of the soon-to-be- wed:

Aren't they cute?!

Hopefully, those of you who read this blog often, have already checked out the Cold Tofu link, as saturday was our first show of 2008! What a great way to start off another year of performances and just plain having fun! Despite having a great show all around, the highlight of the night was when we were all introduced to the newest member of the Cold Tofu family, Zachary, 3 mos out of the womb and already attending a Cold Tofu show! (His mom is a member, so he kinda has to). Here's the little bundle of joy:

A literal "bundle" of joy!

Afterwards we all headed out to eat in Little Tokyo near downtown L.A. for all you non L.A.-ites. You have to check out Suihiro Restaurant if you get the chance - great food, very reasonable prices for that any-time-of-day craving of Japanese food. Can't be beat!

Then, after all the eating, then came the video game debauchery! Xbox 360 at David's house for literally the rest of the night and early morning! Playing Halo 3, CofD 4, and a small bit of Madden '08. This then repeated on sunday throughout the day and night, until monday morning at 4:10am! Can you believe it? And I still suck! Well, I don't suck, but I'm not always the high scorer. Oh well. I guess I have to practice! What am I, CRAZY?!

Monday was spent shooting my buddy Alden. Here's one of the session's photos:

Top this off with doing laundry and finally getting to watch Johnny Depp in "Sweeny Todd" and you get an awesome weekend to recover from during the week! Whew!

Thanks for reading as always, and if you get a chance, do leave a message :) Happy Tuesday everyone!
