Meaning I will have it in time for Paradise Challange Ibiza.. (hope to test it beforehand, especially the TTL, though if it's like the TTL on my CL 360 ll like I'm hearing I should be fine)

Yeah, I've been itching to get out and shoot with the darn things, but it's either work, or inclement weather, etc...  Maybe I can squeeze in a sunset tomorrow night...

Used them at the ComicFest last week and they were essentially flawless.  I'm very pleased with them.

The actual place is fine, obviously....I like it. I just hope I'm wrong regarding demographics and attendance.

ok april sucks... every year i cant believe i survive april or august. 

i just hemorrhaged $10,000 this month basically lol.  between income taxes, termite tenting,  renovating the rental,  property taxes on my primary home,  new windows in my home, replacing a dropped lens and a broken flash that got water damaged,  replacing my fried computer that i've been putting off for a couple months, vet bill,  etc. 


so on the whats that crazy girl O been up to recently? 

trying not to murderdeathkill everyone,  having to cut my charity time drastically to refocus on work, dissolved the engagement to my fiance and am barely resisting a shotgun vegas wedding with my new partner as i just turned 32 and am most likely going to midlife crisis any minute and change my name to starseed obiwan and tattoo a rainbow across my forehead and refuse to wear anything other than straw. 

also tried to have a normal date night like an adult with my partner, he orders a round for us.. no biggie... then goes to the bathroom and i try to order a round and the bartender said shed have to see my id and i could only order 1 and not his because i didnt look like my id... cause long red hair and short red hair completely change your identity... kinda get a feeling she wouldnt notice clark kent was superman either lol. 

i hope my stories serve as amusement to you my friends, someone should take away a laugh or two

side note does anyone know of someone looking to hire a part time tiny psychotic assistant?  i prefer to help on set with all the tech stuff and model stuff or event stuff and not have to interact as much with the event clientele or fans,  i've had about enough large scale socialization to last me... plus iwanna do photo field trips again like i used to with some photographer friends   did i mention im tiny and psychotic and a wizard with business and have a plenty of torture devices to keep models from cancelling or slacking of on set?  lolol

Such a boring life you lead Miss O  .  .  .    Sorry to hear about the personal stuff, on top of everything else  .  .  .  may want ta cut your hair again, at least that way you can get drunk if ya wanna  .  .  .

Really nice to see how they've rejuvenated the area  .  .  .  I've had a few business things to do over there lately, and have been staying at the Birchwood along the marina road  .  .  .  also had a few stays at the Vinoy, quite the comeback for them as well  .  .  .  hope you're enjoying it Mr. S  .  .  .

She's probably helped me reach Nirvana a few times  .  .  .    What's her name, if I may ask, I've been over there quite a bit lately  .  .  .  also know Jason, the head chef, he's a good friend of some friends of mine from Orlando  .  .  .

Haha...no doubt. Yep, the grub ain't too shabby there. She actually had a chance to chat with Emeril himself recently, while in town for some business, said he's a really nice guy, and was very complimentary about their offerings. Jasmine is her name, if you happen to swing through again...

Next time I'm there, I'll ask for her, and test her Dark & Stormy recipe  .  .  .  repeatedly  .  .  .    Yeah, I guess Jason knows Emeril pretty well, I think he worked for him for awhile before he went off on his own  .  .  .  glad to see he's doing so well  .  .  .
