I cannot begin to express my glee and giddyness and just how much fucking AWESOME I am filled with regarding the photo book we are working on. Firstly, it's something to do that keeps Quinne and I up on both modeling and photography skills, Second-wise, it provides weekends full of discovery, roadtrips, and unexpectedness, and Thirdtastically, shit, I love coffee table books (so does Quinne) and we're actually gonna have something to offer the world when we're done.

In terms of life, I'm getting comfortable in my own skin again, little by little. Having a BFF going through similar life obstacles, with intellect and humor to boot, definitely makes it a lot easier.

In terms of What's For Dinner, god that was fucking good.

In terms of other things that matter, I've been painting more (necessary) and falling asleep at my desk more (Scooter, our RockStar rep at work, is MIA - but it's better than me drinking those fucking things). The good news is that I do not have mono, cancer, or any manner of Zombie Virus. Also, the 6Flags passes showed up at work meaning, CUT CLASS AND RIDE ROLLER COASTERS. Summer is almost here, bitches. I can see it peering over the horizon of my desk calendar.

On the Literary tip, get a copy of Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit (Bukowski). This is one of my favorite little collections of his poetry. If you can call it poetry... Well, it is a bunch of short incomplete sentences, so it could be poetry. I call it Pure Fucking Awesome. Also, I put it down for a week, but tonight I'm going to finish Cannery Row (Steinbeck) and then Quinne and I will find our way there (Monterey, CA) this weekend and go spelunking. This book is a quick read but incredibly hilarious. Recommended. Go.

It's weird to think that soon, I will be OK with the concept of not being in love. That's weird for me. But considering the crippling fact that I have been in a series of up and down, good and bad, long term relationships back to back, since I was 19, this is going to be an epic turning point in my life. Time to rock the 20s till I've got none left. Damn, being in love kind of rules though. And this time I actually have an awesome friend-for-life-no-matter-what in my Ex, so that is definitely appreciated. Right now I'm lovin' life and dealing with the rest, so that's OK by me.
