Mmmmm.

I've been finding good stuff to listen to when I'm out traipsing about taking pictures of crap, and because I have nothing better to do tonight, I'm sharing it with you.
Ooooooh.

Jen's current pointless playlist:

-Alice In Chains
-Bill Hicks
-Alliance Ethnik
-The Decemberists
-The Pouges
-X
-the Misfits
-Neko Case
-Killing Joke
-Ella Fitzgerald
-Tom Waits
-Nick Cave
-Peter Murphy
-Reverend Horton Heat
-Iggy Pop
-KMFDM
-Queen
-Ministry
-Rob Zombie (and HAHA"VINTAGE white Zombie oh god I'm old)
-Spahn Ranch
-Thievery Corporation
-Elvis Costello
-Curve
-Violent Femmes
-Depeche Mode

I have a bunch of random crap in there too, but generally to set the mood of my photography expeditions this is what I'm ruining my hearing with. Mmmmm. Volume.

The sunsets, they are fantastic!

Seriously, they're practically all I've shot this week. Go have a look.
Also, I have been listening to a lot of Alice In Chains lateley, and have come to the conclusion that I REALLY miss Layne Staley's voice. Daaaaamn.
Anyone got reccomendations for something you think I should be listening to?

Chicagoland Deviants!(hey look!)

I'm getting pretty tired of shooting cats (cute as they are) and I want some human models! The weather is getting nice and there are a ton of awesome places to go and take pictures. Anyone local wanna go shoot things on a nice afternoon?

So, next month, I turn the big 3-0.
Shit.
That one snuck up on me.
I mean, I beat the curve, all things considered, but now people are expecting me to do something big for it, and I have no idea.
Personally, I'd be happy with not doing anything, but something tells me that isn't about to fly, since everyone else I know has been having giant huge-assed parties. Bleh.

Right now I'm leaning towards a BBQ or something low-pressure (having really horrible social anxiety does NOT help this problem) but I dunno.
What the hell do people do for their birthdays? I grew up poor as hell so we never really did anything when I was a kid, and in my 20's I just drank them away (haha) and I could totally use some ideas.

Help!

I had business cards made today! Nothing terribly special, but they'll work. Next step-price checking mats and seeing what prints will run me.
Sweeeeet.
