Memorial Day Weekend
It was hot and muggy here for the first time this year. I know my family in Louisiana probably thinks I’m a wuss for mentioning it, but I have gotten soft since I moved up here. The idea of 92 degrees being just “pretty warm” doesn’t quite work for me anymore. I hope y’all don’t disown me entirely. (Note the used of a well-placed “y’all” in effort to convince my Deep South family to claim me J).
I got to do a mini photo shoot with Chris’s band on Saturday so they could put together a promo kit for an indie radio station way up in Pennsylvania that wants to play their music. Very exciting news for them!!! So me and my nonfancy camera, and me with me nonphotographic sensibilites tried our best—and got some stuff that’ll work just for the time being. Hurrah for black and white photos that hide a multitude of sins. Chris had me stand on top of a ladder to take pictures of them while they were jamming—which turned out to be a really good idea. The guys looked great and sounded awesome!
Chris and I also watched the season finale of 24 that we’d had taped. I had also watched it last Monday without him (bad girlfriend!)—I just couldn’t wait a whole five days. It was very good, but left a cliff-hanger for next season. Jack’s being held by the Chinese, and he’s floating away on a great big barge, and they’ve tortured him until one eye is all gross and swollen shut. (Clearly I wouldn’t survive long under torture. This is not surprising news.) The new season won’t start till January, but Chris and I will simply deal with the withdrawal by catching up on the seasons we missed.

Lawd, Memphis was killing me with the heat and humidity.
It was awful here too. My parents have that thermometer thing on their car and in the sunny driveway on Monday the thermometer said it was 98 degrees. That's hot; I think anyone would agree.

When I was in Indy this weekend they were carrying on about it being SO HOT and it wasn't even 90 degrees. However, I try to spend as much time inside as possible when it starts to get hot outside b/c I get very grouchy and do not handle heat well. It was not ideal race conditions because heat brings up all the oils on the track and can make it slick. We were in the sun a lot so I did my fair share of complaining and sweating.
