chocolate cake.

Do you know what it is like to buy a gigantic piece of triple thick, extra fudgy, chocolatey-chocolate cake from Kahili, to slowly sink your silver fork in, to raise a heaping bite to your lips?

Now, imagine grabbing that whole dripping pile of calories and cramming it, fist after fist, into your pie {scratch that} cake-hole until you are suffocating in the gooey richness. Then, grab a brownie, a couple of cupcakes, and an entire pack of CostCo muffins, and cram it right down your throat. Pour in a gallon or so of syrup (maple, of course) and stick a cherry up your nose. Top with whipped cream.



That is my weekend.





Grabbing a fork.

Thinking Positively

Midterms are kickin' my hinney.
The newspaper is punchin' me in the gut.
Exhaustion is totaling me over.
So I am going to think positively :)
In the last month I have

Celebrated a friends birthday in wacky capitol hill.


Photographed various friends all over Kirkland.


"Salsa danced" or something like it. :)


Fell in love with Fall all over again!


Watched my editor, Lindsey, do this. :)

Mine is a good life.

recipe for recovery

I am in such a silly little funk. I have moments of freedom, but they are rare and almost forced.
What do I need?

To savor this time?

Kirkland

To bear it until the next time?

Thailand

Or just to laugh at myself in the meantime?

Well, I am quite laughable.

Maybe I should start by getting more sleep... Goodnight!

Talon Time

Concept Photo, originally uploaded by ReBekha Michele.

This is the fourth concept image I have come up with for this next issue of the Talon (look for it next week!). The article is titled "Are We Religious Extremists?" and the assignment I was given was to incorporate the AG faith and politics in some way.. yeah, pretty open for interpretation. Well, after many failed attempts of floating Palin heads and awkward flag waving, I finally accomplished this.
What do you think?

Oh, and we won't be using it. Turns out fifth time is a charm and the image I created after this is better suited to the article.

But this one is still my favorite.

*not happy*

I wish I could back up about 12 years and join a nunery. Forgoe all of this unnecessary regret.

Quick Comments:

-My tripod broke in half yesterday at a photo shoot. Don't ask. Add this to the list of things I need to replace before I can truly embrace photography again. *grumble* The photo shoot itself helped, though. Such fun!

-I started to fill out my JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching Program) application today. I am afraid. Afraid I won't be accepted, afraid I will be.

-I logged onto MySpace yesterday. *sigh.* I have little will power, and was dying to read a blog or two. I am re-resolving.

-I am addicted to Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/). I adore browsing other photographers' photo streams. So inspiring and humbling. My current fave: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rosie_hardy/

- Derrida destroys my brain.

- Time to study! To Do: prepare French presentation on Switzerland, read The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus, skim various chapters of "Testing for ESL"

p.s. (11:09 p.m.) I just spent.... 4+ hours on a 10 minute french presentation. I am such a power point perfectionist!!

I am having fun with photos again!

Maybe a little bit too much fun... so long productivity!

However, my camera is still frustrating. Damn gears are stripped or something. *grumble*
