Bohemian Musings

heh. I like the simpson movie website. Look what I made. :)

So it was brought to my attention that a lot of my friends never saw the trailer for the movie I went to New York with last fall. So here’s the trailer, still no release date for the dvd.

They made a musical out of Lord of the Rings. I’m speechless. This has to be the most difficult story to make a play out of…

Oh a slightly more cynical note, how can they make this, something that is surely the most expensive production ever in the history of theater, and not make Newsies? A production that would some of the most simplest sets ever. *shakes head*

In all serious though, I really really want to see this. It looks absolutely incredible. Too bad it will probably be 3 years before it gets around to the states, and by states, I mean New York, probably more like 5 years before it gets here. The below video is broken into several parts, so hang in there past the black parts.

Working with these guys now. I used to listen to them back in the day. My boyfriend at the time thought I was crazy for listening to them. But dude. They’re freakin awesome. And that’s all there is to be said.

If you like them, you can enter to win their new cd over on FanBolt :) And note about the video below… it gets crazy good at the 2:18 point or the 2:00 point if it’s counting down.

Wednesday- coding, movie premiere with Sara, more coding

Thursday- interview with cast of Sundance channel show, TONS of coding, fanbolt launch … and school starts

Friday- Roxy gets her bath, band interview, more coding, yoga, more coding

Saturday- coding, hopefully a swimming break, pick up present for Amanda

Sunday- coding, Amanda’s baby shower, coding

Monday- launch more new features on fanbolt, more coding

Tuesday- client meeting, coding, heidi/emma time

I’ve done nothing but code since Sunday with 2 breaks for yoga, and sleep… thus far I’ve counted myself at 47 hours of coding in the last 3 days.

help. me.

So I’ve been coding for like the last 28 hours straight… minus the 6 hours of sleep. Working on a client site and trying to get FanBolt ready to go by Thursday. Which is my absolute goal for switching over the dns. No more pushing it back. I realized today, while the coding is going great, I need more features. The pr company from heaven, that is the reason all good things in this industry happen to me, sent over enough music interview ops that I’m set through August. One of which is Lifehouse. (it feels like senior year of high school all over again) They’re preforming with the Goo-Goo Dolls here in late July, so I’m trying to set up in person interviews with both bands as well as doing photography at the event.

This is the best Monday ever.

Just wait for the 40 second mark. It’s totally going to be the cause of my nightmares this evening.

I got a new lens!!!!!!!!!!! :) It covers me from 18-200mm. The aperture is 3.5, which is as close as I can get to 2.8 without spending $2,000 bucks on a lens. I’m simply not ready to do that yet. heh :) I can’t wait to try it out at the next concert. Until then, Roxy and my friends get to be my models. Though, I think Roxy is starting to get a bit tired of the constant picture taking.

Andy and I went to the Annie Leibovitz exhibition at the High yesterday. Her work absolutely blows me away. She’s by far my favorite photographer, which I guess makes it sad that I saw several photos yesterday that I had no idea that she had taken.  I always talk about capturing moments with photography. Capturing emotion. It’s hard to do, you usually have a flicker of a second, and you just have to hope your shutter speed is quick enough to capture it. All of Annie’s photographs are moments frozen in time. A perfect example is one that she took of her daughter in the pool (which I can’t find online anywhere, but if you go to the exhibit you’ll see it a couple times). They had a video going in the exhibition, and they showed the whole family in the pool, there was nothing particularly beautiful with the scenery and the kids weren’t really doing anything that worthy of photographing, but Annie took this picture that somehow completely capsulated youth and innocence through just a brief moment in Sarah’s eyes. It was absolutely incredible. When I left all I wanted to do was take pictures.

Surprisingly though, her most famous piece was not on display. The image of Yoko Ono and John Lennon, which was taken a mere 2 hours before he was murdered, was not on display. While it’s definitely not my favorite, I think it was a piece that should have been included in the collection. Not sure I could pick a favorite out of the ones on display actually… Although the image of the Nile on Susan’s 60^th birthday and the image of her daughter I described above are definitely among my top picks from Annie’s personal collection.

All in all, Annie’s entire collection is stunning, and I highly recommend the exhibition for those of you who haven’t checked it out.

Jenny, here’s that picture I was telling you about earlier.
