interview.

I just interviewed Simon Cowell.

I love my job.

stars, satellites, and meteors.

It was a couple nights short of a full moon, but I still got some great shots being so far away from the city. The satellite and meteor are easily spottable. This was shot at 800 ISO for a 1 minute exposure.

sunsets on the farm.

I’ve been up in Quincy, Illinois for the last week with Andy visiting his grandparents farm.  I’ll upload more pictures later, but this one is the sunset over their farm from their house up on the bluff. The water you see is from the flood that occurred earlier this summer. It was horrible seeing all the damage that had been done…

a million miles.

When life gets crazy and your to-do list seems never ending, music is the only thing that keeps making sense. It has an amazing ability to transport you, whether you want it to or not. It never fails… every time I hear this one song by Sigur Ros, I’m always a million miles away from where ever I am. It seems like the very second I close my eyes and let the song flood over me I’m suddenly out west driving through the desert with the top down. It’s a cloudless night with a new moon. And for those 4 minutes and 29 seconds, life is absolutely, undeniably perfect.

This moment starts at 34:46.

This is from their performance at the MoMA. For those of you that haven’t experienced the magic of this band in concert, I urge you to come with me next time they are in town. They will blow your mind.

for sara.

So it’s 3:08 am and I can’t sleep. I was going through the usual routine of visiting all my graphic design and motion graphic blogs for cool eye candy when I come across the sweetest and most adorable thing ever.

I think it holds some great ideas for Sara. I vote for the breathtaking pyrotechnic display. I mean, that’s totally how I’ll do my invitations. Fridge mags are sooo yesterday. Permanent burn marks on your living room wall… now that’s what I’m talking about. :)

So after watching this I checked out their site and found a video that Jeffrey made for Natasha. Sweetest thing ever!

That’s 11 kinds of adorable right there.

macbook touch.

Have you guys seen this?

iPhones everywhere are going to have an inferiority complex. As well they should.

On that note. My perfect Edward still hasn’t shipped. It’s supposed to ship Friday though, so I’m less than a week away from holding it my arms. :)

pretty lights.

This makes the pictures that Jenny and I did look like child’s play.

Jenny… we have to step up our game.

the sounds of the gates of hell.

This was too adorable not to post.

Also, what’s up with his hair?! He’s got to stop touching it… It’s totally bugging me…

comic con 2008.

Comic Con starts today. The Twilight online press junket is today along with the panel discussion. Today would have also been my interview with them if I had attended and the ABC family afterparty but let’s not dwell on things… *next Emma… next year…*
Here’s a couple pics that have surfaced from Summit’s booth. Everything is still in setup mode. Can’t wait to see the pics that hit the web later tonight… should be good stuff!

new lappy.

I ordered her tonight. I can’t wait. I’m now brainstorming names for her. I leave the floor open for suggestions.

The mac lappy is being retired since it’s a g4 and I can’t upgrade the OS on it… which means I can’t run anything newer than photoshop 7, illustrator 10, etc… so it’ll be nice to get the software I have on my current pc on it for when I’m out of town.
