dupa-amiaza profund urbana

rochia albastra cu flori... respira adanc... asa... deci : stateai trantita in fotoliu + rochia albastra cu flori - lolita albastra. dupa amiaza soarele nu se vedea decat reflectat in geamurile blocului de vis-a-vis . te uitai la betonul alb... asa...ramai aici + epiderma ta marginita de linia albastra a rochiei cu flori. se oprea exact deasupra sfarcului drept. e o chestiune de atmosfera. ok, inapoi - deci: spleen - lene, lehamite, nu iti doresti nimic. trupul tau inert in blestemata aia rochie albastra. mi-e sila, m-am saturat sa incerc sa misc ceva in sufletul tau de paie uscate. si tie ti-e sila de tine si de mine si de tot. iti doresti ... nici nu stii ce iti doresti. ultima data cand ai vorbit a fost doar un murmur bizar : nu mai vreau ... nu mai pot... nu mai simt nimic...

nu mai simti nimic? iubita mea, ti-am adus ceai...nu vrei niste ceai? am turnat ceaiul fierbinte pe rochia albastra si pe sanul drept. lichidul fierbinte ti s-a scurs incet pe abdomen. nici nu te-ai uitat la mine. ti-am apasat fata de catifeaua aspra a fotoliului si tu ai inchis ochii. oh! in sfarsit o reactie! iti ridic rochia si te musc de coapsa. urma rosie dintilor mei si saliva pe coapsa ta. te apas si mai tare pe fata. te patrund si te musc de umar, de gat, imi lipesc fata de rochia uda. wanna hear some skin slappin' ?... oricat de mult de-as iubi, oricat de adanc te-as patrunde tot nu pot sa simt ce e in sufletul tau, sa te ajut. durerea nu se molipseste. nu te posed pentru ca nu esti aici - posed doar o carcasa goala...lacrimile mele erau calde si se amestecau cu ceaiul de-acum rece. sunt aici, sunt pentru tine, vreau sa te ajut, chiar nu intelegi?! minute seci ... suspendati intr-o cutie deasupra si dedesubtul altor cutii alaturi de alte cutii unele peste altele in care cine stie cate drame se consuma chiar acum. a noastra e la fel de banala. betonul alb al blocului de vis-a-vis ... intru si mai adanc in tine. te doare? simti? vreau sa te aduc inapoi... lichidul seminal fierbinte pe pieptul tau. ai intors fata spre mine si ai deschis gura... obrazul tau stang capatase urmele tapiterei.

don't have any followers {yet}.

promise to be witty, charming, and sassy.

this is what happens on a friday night home alone.

... this is the last thing i need.

follow me here.

summer holiday.

the first holiday of the year {for me, anyway} has come and gone, and i'm already moving on to plan for the next.

and, oh boy! it's going to be so great.

it's only 35 sleeps away... and i can hardly wait!

there's going to be a little shamu involved...

a little disney...

{and for the first time in my ENTIRE life, i'm missing out on the southern california resident discount - ya know? for those who's zip is somewhere between 90000 and 95999... i'm devistated. full price? what's that?}

but most importantly - there will be $6 churros and super syrup-y coke.

and a lot of this.

this is where all of my dreams will come true - i can be warm... feel the sun on my bod... have nothing to do... but read a book... and drink diet coke.

not to mention - there will be a posh hotel... and missy miss' first trip on the train. i'll be wearing my conductor hat.

35 sleeps.

It's been ages since i last blogged. I wonder how is Dennis doing over at Brunei. As for me, things are pretty much the same. The only difference is that i started taking driving lessons about one month ago. Previously, i was getting all excited over it. But now, i dread going to driving lesson. Driving is tiring to begin with. Good luck to me. ;)

Before i end this post, I would like to say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MAVIS !!!

ponytail.

i can always tell how crazy the day is going to be by how early i put my hair up in a ponytail.

sometimes it's up by 8:30 a.m. - bad sign of things to come.

today - 8:30 p.m. - gooooood day.

tomorrow - i can already tell. it'll be an 8:30 a.m. kind-of-day.

confession.

i apply $63.50 worth of mascara on my eyelashes EACH DAY.

this.

then this.

and end with this.

that's just the eyeLASHes. don't get me started on the lids...

Death Metal Tattoos: part 2

I wish I knew what this was, I really do. It looks like a totem pole of demons? With some kind of weird scarred-out blob in the middle. Is it a tribal-mutant batman logo? AND DO YOU SEE THE SCRATCHED UP FETUS ON HIS ELBOW? I mean really, how could you miss that? I don't even know what the stuff on his forearm is. If anyone can help decipher this, please let me know! I was staring at this guy for ages trying to figure it out.



I wish I knew what was on his back, too. You can see a bit of it poking out. I bet it's incredible.

tonight i watched the season premiere of a&e's new show - obsessed {no, not that dumb beyonce movie. no. no. no.}

obsessed. the show about obsessive compulsive disorder.

oooh... it made me feel so NORMAL!

i always felt normal after watching my old favorite show - intervention -but, i wasn't actually a drug addict, so i couldn't ever relate {i mean - who does drugs? we were raised better than that.} but ocd - yeah, that's relatable.

my life has order. my day has order. my closet has order. my toothpaste drawer has order. sweet hell, even the bottles in my shower are all matchy matchy orange - all the same color, all the same brand, all the same, all the same. order. routine.

but - man! i've got nothing on these people! there's the lady who puts on her dead dad's bloody clothes he died in and checks the alarm clock incessantly. and there's the wash-my-hands-thirty-times-a-day-,-don't-sleep-in-my-bed-because-i-can't-handle-the-germs-and-wipe-with-a-baby-wipe-in-order-to-get-it-all-clean dude.

Death Metal Tattoos: part 1

I went to the Maryland Deathfest this past weekend and OH BOY did I see so many amazing metal tattoos! One million distorted zombies! Ten thousand blurry black and white messes of somethingorother! A good handful of band logos! I have a LOT to share with you guys, but let me start with this gem (perhaps the best of the bunch):



THAT GIRL IS TRUE. EVIL. I love the fancy flourishes added to each word, it really rubs in the brutality of her tattoo.

Tune in soon for more!

j&k+8.

jon is still shady, kate is still a nag. but they have 8 babies. and those 8 babies need their mom and dad... and so, i am sad about it. sad.

they're famous now. paparazzi follow them. and say mean things that aren't necessarily true. {and friends, didn't we all just learn a lesson about spreading rumors? "we don't know for sure... we can't judge." sensational stories are exciting. but they're also cutting to the core. we're messing with people's names. and character. celeb magazines - sans people - are global rumor spreaders... and no one likes to hear rumors spread about them. no one.}

those poor parents have their priorities in all the wrong places. jon is complacent. kate has already made up her mind that she'll do it all herself.

hurry up.

figure it out.

remember what it's like to love each other.

break your tlc contract.

buy your own stuff.

be a family.

dvr.

sometimes the quantity of QUALITY television overwhelms me.

thank heavens for the dvr. it's new for me. but desperate times call for desperate measures.

monday night tv sched:

1. intervention
2. obsessed
3. j&k+8
4. the hills
5. bachelorette

there's no way i could fit it all in. the law of space and time defy it!

new seasons! all of them! and that's just monday.

oy vey.

i love to wash in your old bath water.

every time i go to a concert, i walk out {ears ringing, smelling like the collective smell of everyone else's sweat. yum.} thinking it was the best one yet.

ooh... and that gwen. she didn't disappoint. THAT GWEN! let's get this out on the table. gwen stefani is the prettiest thing i've ever seen. robin said it first - but i whole heartedly agree:

if i could be anyone famous, i'd be her.

she's got moves that will blow your mind.
she wears red lipstick every day.

{i want to wear red lipstick everyday. but how do you walk into an engineering firm one day and just "pull off" red lipstick? engineers and their plaid shirts wouldn't know what to do with themselves.}

she has rad hair. rad.

she's a mom.

she's a size 6. not a 2.

she can get away with wearing nearly anything.

she makes the perfect hand bag.

she also makes a mean perfume. ooh, i just love it.
and on... and on... and on...

she's my idol.

so - my favorite song. bathwater. kind of the underdog. but pretty great.

there were two highlights of the night:

1. finding ourselves surrounded by the meanest band of lesbians. the MEANEST! i think they thought that by virtue of buying a GA ticket they guaranteed themselves a comfortable little bubble. what they failed to understand was - a GA ticket gives you the space inside your skin. and only the space inside your skin. no one's even awarded the luxury of controlling your space above the ankles. sometimes you can move your arms... but mostly - you can't stake a claim on the floor.

'cept these lesbians did. and boy, were they fierce.

the sweet victory of the night - was when the music started and i pushed and shoved my way in front of them. someone needed to teach them a lesson. and when i looked back - there they were. fuming.

ha.

2. singing happy birthday to kingston. what a treat! cute little munchkin. it was totally past his bedtime. but when your mom is gwen stefani, i bet your bedtime is negotiable.

happy birthday kingston!

of course - my cousin and his sassy wife were front row specials... and their pictures are going to be ten times cooler than mine. stay tuned. ooh... i should have worked it out. taken them up on their offer to go together. but then i'da had to sit through ALL of paramore. ick.

wyo.

oh, what a weekend. three days in small town wyoming. oh, it was a delight! food... lots of good lovin' home cooking. family... millions and zillions of sweet sweet family members. guns, livestock, and words you'll only hear native wyomins' speak........

and we're off.

this is cokeville, folks. all of it. the view from "big hill" - home of the dump. in cokeville, lots of fun happens on this hill. and at the dump. really. the dump.

so, night one. we do the outdoorsy, wyoming-esque thing - tin foil surprises over the open flame - on the ranch... with guns. walked away smelling like smoke. mmm...

but, get this. we get to the ranch. way out there at the end of the earth. fun fact - horses live on the ranch. fun fact - i'm afraid of animals that are bigger than me.

we hop out of the truck. britt's brother starts to unload. within seconds... horses. loads of them. coming our way. britt's brother hops back in the truck... peels a tight u-turn... back to the gate he failed to close. dirt. everywhere. and horses. coming at me. oh, man. what a fright. horses. HORSES!

dave, jared, and katie came to visit on their way up to yellowstone. what fun. i owe all my gun shooting skills to my main man, jared.

brittney took us on a walking tour of cokeville. my favorite part - britt said, "there's a new development over there... there's about 4 new homes." cute.

yeah, for real. those are horses clippity-clopping down main street. HORSES!

monday morning, while the girls got ready - ian went huntin' with the boys. that there rodent is what they call a rock chuck. what in the world is a rock chuck? who knows... but it was a heavy sucker.

we said good bye to britt's sweet family. oh-so-sweet. they took such good care of us. her parents are lovely. her brothers are hi-larious {and were raised to be the kind of men that men should be...} her sisters are sweet, sweet, sweet. grandma, grandpa, aunts, cousins... all of them. wonderful.

bye cokeville. i will be back.

detoured through bear lake for the oh-so-fab raspberry shake. yum.

perfect memorial day weekend. perfect.

PS: This event is held in Singapore only.

Once upon an infernal time,
Existed a circus created by hell’s own grime
The circus bred freaks that thrived on pain,
Thereby giving it, its sordid name.

In the carnival of pain, lived a freak,
Whose daily pain made the guillotine seem meek.
Diamond fangs, the condemned called him,
The Grand Meister, of the Carnival of eternal Sin
And the pain he felt, he transferred to ink,
With which he marked bodies till raw and pink.

This blasphemy provoked higher beings,
Till even God deferred; and the Devil Intervened.
Black, angry and searing pains he felt,
Of kinds which make hardest stones melt,

Voices of those past inked, echoed painfully
Right through Diamond Fang’s head; throbbing violently.
The creature thought, for sure he’ll explode,
For minions of hell destroyed his abode.
Scorched his eyes, and flayed his body
Until his tainted soul was ripped all bloody.

Thus when he was about to break,
The visions cleared and a voice thus spake,
From its high throne of gory splendor,
Said the Devil with glistening evil ardor,

“You’ve breached the codes of heaven and hell,
For this torrid sin, repent you shall.
66 irredeemable sinners you must find,
And mark them with the ink of thine,
Then only will your soul mend,
And back to your Carnival, you may tend.

Break me this chain of human sacrifice,
And your soul can never survive
So go forth my insolent son,
your quest of 66 sinners has now begun".

The Olympus 35-100mm f2 in Use

Picked up the 35-100mm f2 yesterday, and within hours it was in use shooting one of the dimmest live performances I've done in a while, the dress rehearsal for Tapestry New OperaWork's production of The Shadow.

This is a high speed medium telephoto zoom (the fastest lens in it’s focal range that I’m aware of) with an equivalent focal length of 70-200mm - the classic 'go to' lens of the working professional. It’s fully weather sealed, so on an E3 body it will give you a dust and moisture proof combo.

Some scenes from The Shadow, a modern opera written by Alex Poch-Goldin and composed by Omar Daniel that will be enjoying a short run at the Berkeley Street Theatre Mainspace until May 30.

It's a dark menacing tale with a very modern abstract score (atonality abounds). Having since been to the opening night, the score really seemed to start working for me in the latter half of the piece where there were more melodic fragments to contrast with the dissonance.

The singing overall is terrific with Soprano Carla Huhtanen's Allegra and Bass Baritone Peter McGillvray's powerful vocal performance (seen above) plus CounterTenor Scott Belluz (below) as The Shadow particularly standing out.





Tenor Keith Klassen adds some comic relief as the waiter.




The lens when mated to an E30 body generally did an excellent job. Owing to the tightness of the space we had for shooting I photographed this opera all handheld.

First impression - man this thing is big! I mean it's only a 35-100mm lens, but it’s the size of a Canon 300mm f4. Of course, it is also a very bright f2 and designs for high speed lenses are always going to make you pay a price in terms of size. But adding to a general impression of bigness is an almost comically over-sized lens hood (seal the bottom, put a handle on it, and you could put a pitcher of draft beer in there)

Despite the size and weight I really didn't find it that taxing to do handheld for the hour and a half duration of the production. Every so often I'd just switch to using the 12-60mm on the other E30 and that would allow me to get the feeling back in my fingers. No all joking aside, it's really not that bad.

It’s a good lens for isolating subjects as the fast aperture allows for softer burred backgrounds when shooting wide open, and in fact it was this more than the increase in effective shutter speed in low light, that I was looking for from the 35-100mm.

Of course, everything works as advertised. Excellent sharpness wide open, nice contrast and saturation, focusing in dim, dim light was generally good.

Michael Cooper was photographing the production for the house with a Nikon D3, and there were a few instances where he got a shot I didn't because of the camera failing to find focus in time. But generally the E30 seemed to keep up with the D3 surprisingly well.

I had hoped to use the 35-100mm for street shooting, but might need a new plan for that. Pointing something this intimidating at strangers on the street may actually be illegal in some jurisdictions.

However for indoor shoots it's perfect.
