Bohemian Musings

I love this weather. More specifically I love that I can go out on the balcony and photography approaching storms. I got some amazing shots tonight. You could see amazing lightning for nearly 3 hours. Here’s a taste of what’s to come!

You know you loved Brick and if you didn’t then I truly doubt your taste in movies. Director Rian Johnson who was responsible for directing and writing Brick has a new film coming out next month called Brothers Bloom which I have been looking forward to since the night I saw Brick. Below is the opening sequence from the movie which contains an adorable crippled kitten. I mean I can’t not post that. Below that is the actual trailer. Behold magic my dear readers. Magic.

I find it amusing… and also painful to watch the continual drop in price of our old apartment.

I made a present for Nic.

So I finally settled up with the old apartment place. It’s over and done with, and they’ve put it back on the market. I made it a point to look to see what they were putting it back on the market at…. and no surprise it’s DRASTICALLY less than what they wanted me to renew for… which was laughable being over $1,400 a month. My unit was the Peachtree/B3 floorplan, and it is currently the only one available of that floorplan.

So Nic and I went to see Lady GaGa last night, and we made it just in time to pick up our VIP passes which allowed us to watch the whole show backstage. We got to see the wardrobe changes, the before show rituals, and didn’t have to worry about crowds. It was a great night. She’s a great performer and definitely knew how to work the crowd. No lip synching either, and for that reason it was like watching Britney but better.

Here’s a photo Nic took during the last encore:

And I pulled a few cool clips from YouTube….

She did a new song which I absolutely loved called “Future Love”:

And then here’s Poker Face from last night:

So I’ve been M.I.A due to our move…. which seemed like it took forever. :-)

We’re finally settled into the new place, and I’m almost caught back up on all the things I fell behind on. So regular updates will resume soon.

But to the point of the post! Saturday night, Andy, Nic, Justin, and myself hung out on the balcony taking photos and trying cool lighting techniques. We got some pretty cool shots which I’ve highlighted below.
