Classic Stock

Went out last night to journalist event. They actually let stock photographers in and I don’t think anyone explained to the performers what stock photography means. Plan was to cover the event for a certain fetish magazine I work closely with. But the event is sort of being weird about whether or not they want to cover us for guest list and whether they want to charge us to shoot or some bullshit. Only I can cover whatever I want for that magazine. So I may skip said event. Depends what they say today.

I think it is really weird how many people do not understand that I do what I do for love and not money. Niceness and personality count. If I care about someone and I believe in what they are doing, I will give them press and make them famous. Yes, a subject has to be interesting, but, if I’m not motivated to cover that subject, I almost always have the freedom to skip it or cover someone or something else. Town Car or not, I am still punk at heart and pretty much impossible to force to do anything.

Yes, I know a lot of people just give the press payoffs and then they don’t have to be nice and the publications don’t have to pay more than dirt. Apologies if I still believe in journalistic integrity.

Which reminds me. Someone I know met Bonzo from emobeaverhunt last night. Dude wanted me to have a drink with him a while back to see how nice he is and then, when I said okay, told me he was most free around Halloween. I don’t drink with anyone who has more free time around Halloween than other times. Apparently, he was really busy last night because he sat by himself instead of coming over and asking if I wanted to have that drink. Did I mention we were all already in a bar?

Met new cool folks including amberray from livejournal and Delirium who I think darenzia referred to me. Gotta check my email to see, if I end up shooting Delirium. Talked to a bunch of cool people I knew already. Might have been kinda useless from a journalistic perspective, but I had a good time.

Not sorry I skipped godhead last night, but sorta think maybe I should have hit Bouncing Souls.

Came home and worked until 6am. Watched Family Guy on TiVo. Woke up too early. Going to take a hot bath and sack back out for a few hours.

I need food badly, but I’m just not hungry

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer. I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning – especially when there’s a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can’t find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

This is not really accurate. I am actually the little guy from Robotron who has to shoot half the things around him in precisely the right pattern while saving the other half of the things around him. And likely to meet an untimely demise.

Robotron wasn’t after 1985 was it?

Friday Night Pix

Szandora’s flight got in at nine and we rushed to put our party hats on and hit the town. I borrowed a snapshot camera from a friend and I’m thinking I totally need to buy one of those little stealth ones. I want more goofing around fun pix of me and the mischief I get into.

If you are in any of this images, please feel free to snarf them to post in your own journal or blog. 🙂

VOTE

Don’t forget to vote today if you live in California. Your polling place will almost certainly have changed, so you will want to look at your official sample ballot or visit http://www.lavote.net/.

The place I always vote had changed who could vote there. They had stationed all older adults who didn’t really speak English and one very young girl who did. They tried to coerce me into putting my vote in a “Provisional Ballot” which is a pink envelope that has a checkbox in it for Count or Don’t Count, so they can decide whether to count your vote. The explanation on the side of the envelope seems to indicate that, unless you moved or something, your vote will not count if you just happened to go to the wrong place. Another woman who was there told me that she had her polling place changed and told me the nearby street my new polling place probably was. The people working there tried to discourage me from going there. I went home to check where I was supposed to be and then went to the correct place to cast my vote so that it would be properly counted. I pressed hard and I made sure there were no hanging chads and I compared the numbers punched out with what I had pressed in the ballot.

I thought it was sort of weird how open the voting booths were for this election. I’m pretty sure we are supposed to have secret ballots. I don’t much care in this case, except on principle. I voted NO on the recall. I don’t think our governor should spend all his time running for office. We already have an election process to replace the guy if we don’t like him. Adding extra elections is just a waste of money when it is not like the guy is a genocidal baby raper.

I thought it was cool that I could vote against the recall and also vote for a candidate for governor if the recall did succeed. I voted for Larry Flynt. I voted against spending more money and I voted for prohibiting government classifying people according to race etc.

Whether you would vote the way I did or not, if you are a Californian and an American, you should hit the polls today because it is really important to our way of life. More so now than ever, with all the oddness we have had with recent elections. Exercise your rights and keep your rights.

So the publicist for Epitaph dropped me an email inviting me to a private afterparty for tonight. I’m not familiar with the band and don’t even know how to pronounce their name, but I’ve been really looking for different things to do, so it sounded like a good idea. So I wrote back and said that I hadn’t actually gotten set up for the show yet either, so he emailed back and told me I was on +1 for both events. I actually left the house early enough to go to an all ages concert and then of course the venue couldn’t find me on the list and the publicist wasn’t there yet. The venue was walking distance from my place and I could have gone back with the email printed out and it would have been okay. Normally I would totally have had documentation with me. Kind of out of character not to have, but I guess that is the theme of Fall for me.

Once I’d walked home, I just felt like picking up some Perrier and getting some work done. Did some promo for Blue Blood’s RubberDollies.com. Got irrationally bummed out that my recently favorite board to post on has gotten really lame. Most of the posters I used to really enjoy the most have (a) gotten pissed off I wouldn’t sleep with them or (b) been banned by the admin. Started to address a new hacking problem. Always some new stupid expense. I wish people sucked less.

Fighting off a sore throat worse than the one I usually have. Hope I didn’t catch anything from my brother when I delivered soup to him. That would have some annoying poetry to it.

Working on a site update. Have an awesome new model going up on GothicSluts.com. And less than 24 hours until I get to wreak havoc with Szandora. Going to book the new model again probably as soon as I put Szandora on a plane. Got another new girl flying in next week. So all is pretty good on that front.

Opened a bottle of Moet tonight but was too bored to actually drink it.

Forrest found this for me on some SF list.

I scored a 76 on my first try. I think I might have anger issues.
