well, he should be. he turns 27 years old today. happy birthday, bro. i don't doubt that this day won't be anything less than a spectacle. so laugh it up, make others laugh so hard they cry, and enjoy!

i love you.

des tests encore

went to four wheels to take some more photos and hopefully get the camera good to go before a shoot. finally figured the fucker out at the spot. just needed a feminine touch.

"ignorant art"

the photos have a story. although accidental, the images came out during experiments done with the nikon digital cam. so in this series, we got the idea that something needed to be done to fix the white balance... had to take a few photos while figuring it out.

speaking of which, i figured out that i work best with others while good music is playing. thus the headphones. mais attention. these 20 euro wireless headphones catch the itunes frequency on mackenzie's g4. ca marche pour moi tres bien. best of both worlds... with the added bonus of seu jorge.

una obsesion

time... is on my side, originally uploaded by mjane.

talk about. every instance i look at the time, without thinking, i automatically count 9 hours back.

focus!

you have a good time. and enjoy it as much as possible while you have it.

muse: getting things done

how interesting.

index card variation.

i'll try my cool color paperclips in place of the small binder clips.

another q piece

it's tuesday. i can hear everything now. the village doctor did some cool medium-pressured water squirting in my ears. amazing.

going to antibes. i just ran out of film. it's all good. will read and research and swim.

the bricks in the photo are of my fam's barbeque set-up at my folks' place. i love barbequeing on that thing. burgers are hard though. but mm mm kalbi, fish, chicken, steak... i'm craving meat, i think.

coincidence: 1. The state or fact of occupying the same relative position or area in space.
2. A sequence of events that although accidental seems to have been planned or arranged.

where is the goddamn party?

little girl and tall person, originally uploaded by mjane.

i haven't been out much today. sometimes i hate to compare my l.a. weekends to my nice ones, but today is one of those days when i'd know exactly what i'd be doing on a beautiful friday like today in l.a.. instead, i'm in my room, far from nice, hoping for some positive going-out for tonight.

and i'm desperate.

i will absolutely die if i don't get out of this house tonight. oh how trying life can be when you're a dependant. in my case, i'm completely dependant on mackenzie or others to drive me into town... drive me happy.

and after having had such a great, active and positive trip in l.a., i'm on the edge over here. i will not live a provincial life. i refuse to be the lady-in-waiting. and i'll be damned if i hear about another french riviera raging-party-on-the-beach-with-champagne-and-spliffs until i am at one of those events.

to be frank, i am without transportation, friends, sandy beaches, happy hour, "meetings," lounge parties, or garth trinidad. what the fuck.

and in the end, after being told that "i don't need this from you right now," it's all for me.

until next time, little q

this was the beginning of a great day.
pilipino lunch.
landscape photography.
booty shots.
soft pillow.
wormy.
santa monica beach.
mcdonald's happy meal
& chicken nuggets for all.

the day ended with q being cinderella.
glass slipper falls off as the clock ticks towards midnight.
your foot is too fat.
yours is too small.
who's the prince?
he puts on the shoe and it fits her just right.
and then they dance.

a moment of zen

read the manual.
