Sam has been talking with the people from Take One Studios recently. They're a primo videography service in Cinci and they're looking for someone to start taking stills for them. Huge opportunity for her. She also managed to bring me up and get me invited to come to the wedding tomorrow. The only problem is that Patti, the lady who is running this wedding, e-mailed Sam back yesterday and told her that they won't have any equipment for me to use. So that was pretty sucky, but I decided to go to Williams Hall and try to steal a camera even though I'm not supposed to have access to equipment until I get my independent study approved.
I walked in and Glenn was there. I emailed him a few days ago about filling out a recommendation for me to get into the internship class, so as I was sneaking through his office to get into the checkout room, he thought I was there to get my form. So he filled that out for me and I asked if I'd be able to get some equipment and lo-and-behold the guy hooked me up with everything a boy could need. I forgot how awesome these cameras are. There's something about holding a state of the art piece of machinery and putting it to good use that I hope never gets old.
So, in the end, I ended up all geared for the wedding tomorrow. Hopefully Samantha can knock the socks off of these peeps and get herself a job there. That would be fantastic. Also, this could be really get my foot in the door for maybe helping them out over the summer and making some cold, hard clams. If nothing else it'll be fun to use the nice camera again. I've never worked with Sam before, so hopefully we won't spend the whole day ruining each other's shots.

Battery check
Lasterday I bought insurance for the scooter and today I went over to Autozone, who offers free battery charging. I have to go pick it up tomorrow.
Sam found interesting things on the internet. Out.

You got me on my knees
*trumpets sound*
Layla is alive! I just got her up and running a few minutes ago and everything seems fine...besides that weird noise coming from the fan shroud. But we're excited and ignoring it for now!
Samantha and I wanted to go to Hamilton and get the title and everything, but it's too late because they close at 4:30 and I have to take the scoot with me, which means cleaning out the Jeep, getting gas and driving to the title office. I'll have to go earl tomorrow and get my title switched over to my name, order some license plates and get my temporary motorcycle certification all squared away. Oh happy days!
ALSO. Tonight is $1 margaritas at 45 and Tyler is coming up for the occasion. We'll discuss how seeing Star Trek three times was not only unnecessary, but reckless and snooty.
Sam wants to nap out in the sun but, as the Disney commercial goes: "I'm too excited to sleep!"

50 cents a minute
So you may be wondering "What's new?"
That's a good question. School is over, which is weird. It's all nice outside, which is weird. I don't have anything to do, which is weird. But that last part I can fix. I got another job from Craigslist. A guy wants me to edit some home videos he's made down to their best parts and put it on a DVD. So that should be pretty interesting.
Last night Kamal, Kate, Samantha, Mike and I all ended up hanging out at our house and then going to Balcony for a show by the Sinsinnati Sinners, a two man band featuring a friend Matt. Matt used to drive a snow white Vespa, which was amazing, until he apparently traded it to a guy at Vertigo Tattoos for free tattoos for life. He's that kind of guy. So we went to see them, which was a total blast for me. I haven't had that much fun Uptown for a while. After the show came to an abrupt stop when the drummer fell off his stool and couldn't play anymore, we hung out with Matt for a few minutes and then headed home. We also worked out some details for a double date with Kamal and Kate.
Before that, Annie and Tony were in town camping in Hueston Woods. Sam and I visited them at their campsite and they came and had fun at our house when the world decided to rain all over the place. They actually went back to their tent about an hour before all hell broke loose and all the roads in and out of Hueston Woods flooded. We tried to go out there on Friday, but the road was covered with water and we couldn't get to them and Hueston Woods is so gigantic and confusing I couldn't find the road to get to the campsites from a different direction.
Oooh. Samantha, Mike and I also went to the park. Mike and I played half a game of croquet, because I'm missing 4 of the 9 wickets. Sam jogged while we were there. I had plans to lay out in the sun like Zeek, but the ground was soaking wet, so we just left instead.
Probably one of the least eloquent blog posts. Oh well. I'll review this list whenever I need to think of something to do.

As luck would have it
I finally got the title to my scooter a while ago, but I've been to busy to take care of any of that junk. So I decided to start it up last week and natta. The thing won't start.... ugh. So it looks like I'm back to scouring the internet and taking the thing apart over and over again until everything clicks and it's running. I need it running in the next week, so that when I get scheduled I can ride it to work because that would be awesome. If I can't get it fixed soon... I'm afraid I'm getting tired of looking at the poor pooped out thing... and a garage sale is all but eminent.

Something about little cubes
I found this while browsing Vimeo. The best animated short film I've ever seen.

Is this going to last forever?
Just got home from my final day of class. It would be perfect if there weren't finals next week. But I'm willing to forget about them for at least a day, and just enjoy the molasses crawl of summer for a change.
I finished editing the show, and got it on DVD. I've watched it at least 4 times on DVD, not to mention the countless times on the computer. Mike, Kate and I decided to be real college students last night, so we agreed to meet up and head out to the free Girltalk concert in Millet. As Mike and I were sitting around and talking with Sam, who couldn't come because of stupid homework, Hans (the ShotBong guy) called and invited us to come experience his invention before the concert. Mike and I went over, because Tess lives right next to Hans and it was on our way to meet Kate. Good ol' Hans got Wildberry uptown to agree to stock the ShotBong, so I guess this is really working out for him.
We walked all the way to Millet, waited around for Girltalk, and once he started playing his music, we promptly left. I've never heard acoustics so bad. The old Macbook Sam bought like 6 years ago sounds better than that concert did. We walked all the way back in the pouring rain and hung out with Sam at home. It was way more fun than being at a concert. Kate also gave us free dance t-shirts. All in all it was a pretty interesting night.
As we left the house to go visit Hans and see if Tess wanted to hang out, Mike said "This is going to be the craziest thing we ever do in college."
He was right, just not in the way he meant.
