Late...and promises of more to come!

This is a typecast from a few days ago...I will have one from my birthday (typewriter day!) with a video as well, but not until tomorrow when I can use internet again with more time. I'm going to a wedding in a little while!

The view from that bench in Queen Anne. Right above 99.

Delicious coffee & delicious typewriter :)

First Typecast...and things I own.

Goodbye computer-written posts. (mostly)

I am getting a new camera for my birthday! It's orange, which is only one of the faaaabulous things about it. I will be able to take pictures and almost instantly have them on my computer! Upload them! Without paying $$ to get them developed! Hello typecasting!

It's been a couple years since I've had my own digital camera, and I could hardly be more excited. Plus, it's coming early. Even though it's a birthday present and I would normally not get it til the 23rd, Mom wants me to be able to take pictures of all the excitement coming up, adventures and getting ready for the big two-one, and she ordered the camera early! Also it's being delivered right to my apartment. YAY!

We're in Kent, WA, after photographing the last graduation of the season! Central Washington Unversity's Westside Commencement. We ate at Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. Sam and I split a Chocolate Raspberry Truffle slice.

We did the regular ceremony in Ellensburg yesterday, and the night before my sister brought a bag of clothes she's getting rid of for me to search through. I ended up taking about half the bag, including this awesome sweatshirt straight from the 80s. Bright colors in angular shapes...PLUS POCKETS!

Sam took the blue elf-like shirt with a funky long skinny hood. He's going to wear it for my birthday outing Thursday after next.

We are thinking of having a show, once I get my camera. Maybe I will post links to the videos here. I'm not sure what will happen during them, but it will probably be very silly, ridiculous, and possibly entertaining.

The air conditioner blows right on my feet at the hotel. I shouldn't have claimed the bed next to the window. Now we've all settled in it would be difficult to move...

I can't wait to be able to document the adventures I go on. I will probably be coming over to Seattle/Bellingham the next two weekends in a row! The best part of that is I hardly have to pay any for gas! Thank goodness for backpack-sized typewriters. I like having it with me, especially since I'll be able to TYPECAST with my NEW CAMERA after about Wednesday or Thursday this week. :)

Alright, I should go snack a tiny bit before we go into the city. (SEATTLE) Walkabouts and night pictures await!

We plan on getting me with my typewriter in the middle of a street downtown-ish later tonight, if it turns out I'll post it up here.

Back to Work...

I am yearning to communicate with the outside world. Outside of Image Studios, Engineering Outreach, my apartment and the one person I can always call on for a quick lunch or coffee date in the middle of the day (or night).

Outside the little bubble called Moscow, I want to find some strange interactions.

But that will come later. For now I have got to get back to entering names, emails, addresses and phone numbers of the recently graduated. Apparently the right side of WSU's 8am graduation didn't get entered this weekend...so it's behind schedule. I'm here to catch it up! And then onto the last half of Gonzaga's Grad Grads! (graduate students that graduated...hehe)
Fingers ready?
Ok Go!!

BTW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL DAY!! I wish I were outside enjoying it.

Happy Easter!

I know it's a day late, but I didn't have internet yesterday because I was too busy with the Easter Beer Hunt! :)

Typewriters and Typecasts...

Soon? I hope so.

I wish the computer that is attached to the scanner at this "Old Studio" wasn't so slow and frustrating. It's the only way I would ever be able to typecast! I photos are sort of an option, but I don't have a camera that's very good for close-up except my FM2...and I don't really want to have to wait to get my film developed just to post on a blog.

Also the cost of each frame on film is pretty high these days. Unfortunately! I love using film. 35mm and 120/220 are what I've had all my experience with, and love them both! Of course the 120/220 is much more expensive to get developed, but that camera has a built-in flash which actually does a pretty good job! It also has a wide angle lens so I can take pictures of more things at once! Haha. ah...

Anyway, lovely weather is here today! I just hope it can stay.

Especially since I am inside for most of the day, working on a report for a complicated decedent. Ahh tax season is almost completely behind us! Just a few loose ends, and I have to finish (finally) setting up mom's Quicken whatnots so we can keep her business (and personal) transactions all entered and IN ORDER throughout the year! Every other year I've had to sit down and enter the main bank account statements in an old mixed-up Quicken99 file from back when Dad was running things. It was HELL. (Excuse my language) Anyway, now the categories will make sense, the credit cards will be properly entered and reconciled with and even SHE can do the data entry. HOORAYYY! Also being able to look at profit/loss statements throughout the year would be awesome, if somewhat depressing until grads kickoff.

GRAD SEASON IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so nervous, and excited, and poor...what a perfect time for grad season to swoop in upon us and kill the month and three-quarters between the beginning of may and my birthday!

Hopefully I'll finally be caught up on rent by the end of June. Then I can re-sign the lease and not have to move in August!

Wow.

Haha, J just gave me one of those Reese's peanut butter eggs, I'm glad he's in a pleasant mood. There's a lot of tough things going on in his sphere of the world lately. He's a good friend & semi business partner of my mom's who is also an Enrolled Agent. He's the reason I started learning how to do tax returns when I was 16! And the reason I discovered that I actually ENJOY DOING TAXES. Sometimes, anyway.

Allllright. I'd better get going. I really really promise soon there will be typewritten pages up here. There's a plan in the works with a fellow people-watching friend of mine to sit at this strangely placed stone table in front of a drive-thru coffee hut for a couple hours writing and watching in the sun...it's at a busy intersection next to campus on the "strip" in Moscow. We'll see how it goes!
