Cubicle Departures

I can say this with overwhelming exhilaration now: I left my J-O-B. You know…that thing that kept me stressed out 88% of the time and somehow turned me into a cynical and boring little troll. Don’t ask me where I’m going because I don’t really know and perhaps that massive adventure will make its way [...]

I'm Back...sort of

It’s all over now…I’m speaking of the wedding and honeymoon. Now I’m playing catch-up with reality…and I kind of like it. After I finish up a mountain of client (photography) work and participate in the wedding of some dear friends (she was my bridesmaid too), then I’ll be truly returning to this spot [...]

In the Weeds

I don’t think it’s possible to get through wedding planning without having at least 1 fit of spread-too-thin hysteria. As I use to say when knee-deep in champagne splits and bloody mary’s while bartending Sunday brunch: I’m in the weeds. Seriously.

The J-O-B, the other J-O-B, the hunting of RSVP’s and the [...]

Damn, I thought all I had to do was spend time dreaming about the details but turns out you have to actually [...]

Yayayaya for [...]

Blogroll 101

I might be an offender of blog etiquette! Sometimes I “rebel” against traditions or rules I think are illogical…but this was unintentional. I’ve never read a book or article about blog etiquette, I just thought some things were obvious: Provide sources whenever possible and don’t steal. But yesterday I ran across this book [...]

Finding the Time?

This post is completely pointless but I can’t help but wonder (publicly)…how do people with full-time jobs (and side jobs) and families and obligations find the time to blog? Seriously, I’m already up all damn night and I still can’t seem to find the time without neglecting a slew of other things.

I know, I know…no [...]
