Experimenting

I’ve been logging webcam photos to the blog for a while now. Some generate from work, others from home. In the interest of watching myself, I started compiling them into a video. Today marked about a month of the photos. Making the decision to post it up on the blog, I figured adding a bit of music would be nice. Next came the experimenting with some differing audio tracks. One is very fast paced electronic music, dance type stuff. The other is ephemeral, experimental metal. I couldn’t decide which to choose as they convey such different moods. I find it interesting to see how different and dynamic it made the video itself.

Here they are.

More photos

Stella asked me a few days ago if I would be up for doing a photo shoot for a friend of hers. Being I don’t mind sitting around while someone flashes bright lights in my face (read, Jon) I figured I would do it. Wasn’t sure what it was for, or for whom, or anything. The one thing I knew was the photographer, Jen Campbell, was looking for rock looking people. And I guess that’s why Stella asked me.

As it turns out, it’s for a UK publication called 125. They’ve been around for about 2.5 years and release every 3 months. Each issue is themed based, current issue is Cinema. The next issue, for release in March ‘08 is Rebellion. The photographer has to submit the photos, and if they are selected… well, they’ll be in the issue. Kind of cool, and fun. I should have copies of the photos in the following weeks.

Thanksgiving and beyond

Been a hot minute.

Hannah’s birthday was last week. Had a small dinner together. I was trying to leave NYC around 10.30pm or so, I ended up not leaving until around 1:30am. It was a long night. Arrived in NH around 7am. Dad was already up so we had some breakfast together. Breakfast consisted of coffee and a Tim Horton donut. Woke up in time to get ready, hang with the family and gorge myself on Thanksgiving food. Pretty relaxing day… such is the holidays for me.

Dad and I headed up to fix the car the next day… new pads, new rotors, new tires… and realizing a new battery had to be added to the list. The freaking driver side rotor though, god damn. The sucker didn’t want to come over. I swear I bang on it with a 8lb hammer for at least an hour. It never budged. It did blow chunks of rust all over the place though! Then using the puller, well, we broke some more of it off! Finally we got it off… already driven nearly 400 miles on all the new stuff. So far so good. I guess it means I need to go on a road trip soon! Nice to have a smooth riding car again.

It was nice to come home and find out they had filled the hole on my street. Maybe I won’t damage my wheel, again.

Interesting gift idea…

All I Want for Christmas is… Part II

Part I was the Back-up

Now it’s all about the Beerbelly

I was up for nearly 24 hours yesterday. I only realized this when I was walking up the stairs to my and noticed how sore my body was. I got up relatively early on Monday and got to work about an hour early. Which was good because there was a few things I want to get a jump on before people were hassling me about stuff they needed. Day was relatively painless… and I had plans to go out last night.

Headed home, grabbed some food and watched the end of the hockey game. Ventured into the city where I was to meet up with Justine. I got there about an hour or so before here, and we wound up closing the place. We finally venture home and bounce around the neighborhood a bit, and realize nothing is open and head to my place. We were farting around for too long and realized, shit, it’s nearly 7am. So, I crash and get a few hours of sleep and head to work. I really was fine until about an hour ago where it caught up with me. Very tired. I think it’s nap time soon. One more day, Hannah’s birthday and a long drive north to NH. That’s what’s in store for me.

Interesting note… the Naked Brothers Band is being highlighted at Apple right now… the main image, I made it. Pretty cool.
