They just got engaged!

Dale and I took a ton-zillion pictures of Chris and Sarah, this past weekend, in celebration of their engagement.

Here are my top 20 pics of the happy couple.

Chris and Sarah, I am almost done cropping and resizing your pics. I hope to have them burned onto a cd for you this weekend. (all of them, not just these) YA-Hoo!

So, in no particular order….ON WITH THE SHOW!










Still a great pic, even though there is a presence of those pesky shadows.


with dogs


Chris says that Sarah looks “sexy” in her glasses. Mee--eeow!






Gotta love the candids




The traditional “arms around your lady” pic

THE FOLLOWING HAVE NOT BEEN EDITED. THE LIGHTING WAS JUST THAT AWESOME!












And finally….




Dale and I need to come up with a name for our photography business.

What's a girl to wear?

Most of you know I really like dressing up.
Therefore, you know I had to put something together for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs show that was fitting for the scene. It was such a perfect opportunity to wear something that I normally do not.

I THRIVE ON THAT!

First of all, I got my hair cut and straightened for the event.
Everyone knows “scenesters” must have straight hair.


That hat, by the way, is something I picked up from Express ages ago.

Now look at these awesome leggings I got



Dig those skulls and flowers, do ya?
You can try to find your own skull leggings at TJ Maxx
And yes, those are converse shoes adorning my feet. However, I think they are a half size too small because my toes hurt at the end of the night.

In this pic, you can see the white belt I wore

I had the white belt, but those dark denim shorts came from *gasp* old navy.

Everyone should have a huge, chunky, fake, pearl necklace

(hold your jokes, please)
That shirt came from the thrift store by my apt. Love it.

And oh, you gotta have a chunky bracelet to match

I got the necklace and the bracelet from my friendly neighborhood Target.
The bat decoration came from Walgreens.

I know this picture is blurry, but I think I look slender in it

Vanity prevails


Wanna know what Lee wore?



His “Tiger Martial Arts” T-shirt
And a smile:

Ok, and shorts and shoes.

Dale wore the famous D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. Shirt

Does it look like I give a F**K

And then we come to Danny

Color coordination is the key, kids.
How’s that for a sentence loaded with the /k/ sound?

Review of the concert to come. Dale is thinking about writing a mini memoir of the weekend. The boys are coming back to Austin this week for a friends wedding. Fun times! Can I get a hoo ha two times Tuesday?

The Grind House

This past Tuesday, while driving home from school, I was feeling bad for myself because I just took a quiz and it did not go so good. It was one of those things where I knew the information, for the most part, but got all freaked out when the test was in front of me. I was nervous because it was timed, and the professor continually interrupted us to tell us things about what we would be going over next week.

A bit loquacious, she is.

That same day, right before the quiz, I had gotten back a test I took the week before. I scored a 95 on it and was only able to be proud of myself for a few short hours before the gloom of my performance on the test I just took set in.

Any-hoo…………

When I drive home from school, I either take the highway (mopac to 183) or I take the scenic Burnet road to 183 rout.

This day, I felt like going down Burnet, and I am glad I did.

There I was, sitting at the light on Burnet right in front of the Omlelttry (a yummy eatery) mentally beating myself up for my poor performance. I looked over at the Omlettry and noticed that there were all these cameras set up.

Film cameras.

Then I noticed that they had the joint blocked off from foot and vehicle traffic.

Then I noticed all the cops guarding the joint.

My eye focused on a bright yellow muscle car with black racing stripes parked right infront of the building.

“Cool, maybe I can spot a celebrity”, I thought, because a scene from a movie was obviously being filmed. Because the cops were there, I figured some big named celebs must be involved.

Sure enough, out walks this man:


He goes up to the car and starts talking to whomever (or whoever , I always forget which is correct to use) is sitting in it.

I got all excited and thought about snagging my camera from my bag to snap a quick photo.
My thoughts at the moment:
“Damn, the camera is deep in the bag and I can’t get to it in time”.
“Maybe I should yell something….Hey, QT!!!! Love your stuff”
“No, that’s stupid”
“why Is Quentin wearing a long sleeved black shirt? It’s 95 degrees out here?”
“Shit, the light is green”

So you see, spotting Quentin Tarantino took away the misery I was feeling due to my poor test performance. The rest of the way home, I just thought about what I would say if I met him. Then I fantasized about meeting him and getting cast in the movie because he liked me so much. That turned into me thinking about that I would have to quit school and move to Hollywood to be a big star. Then I decided that I would not want to be a big star, but only star in one movie and make some nice cash so that I could buy a cool house and a new car.

IMBD says that QT is here in Austin filming this:
The movie is Grind House- “Two full length feature horror movies written by Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez put together as a two film features. Including fake movie trailers in between both movies.”

Awesome.
