I'm taking a break from accessioning some new prints into the collection. Actually, they aren't really new, they are definitly from the 80's - the clothing, everytime, gives it away. We had a fire here at work quite a few years ago, and the whole collection went off to a storage facility while they got treated for smoke damage. We've been getting back small shipments of prints since then and finally, we decided to take the whole lot back, treated or not. A lot of the photographs coming back from storage don't look or even smell of fire or smoke, but we have to keep them separate from treated photographs in order not to contaminate the treated photos. This batch was supposed to be accessioned (basically, officially added) to the collection back in 97, so I guess we are finally catching up on our work.

How do I always miss Ben Gibbard/any Ben Gibbard project whenever he is in town? The one and only time I saw Death Cab for Cutie was at the Fireside some 2? 3? years ago. I just need to get off my ass and get tickets right away as opposed to waiting until the last minute like normal.

I saw Laurel Canyon last night and was thankful not to have to see too much of Francis McDormand's naked body. I watched it with Nathan and Peter - both of whom had already seen it- and had to deal with chants of "Orgy" during most of the flick. The 'orgy' was not that spectactular.

I went to a surprise birthday party on Saturday and mid-party, we (Brian - of this blog, Nathan, Bob and Joe) made a trip to the convenient porn shop just down the block. The downstairs was very Alice-in-Wonderland-like, small looking doors, purple walls, black and white checkered tile. . . Anyway, Crazy Joey tried all the doors and found a viewing booth that was "occupied." He probably gave the poor guy a heart attack. I also saw a midget blow-up doll which was the first I have seen of it's kind.

That was my weekend. Oh, and I also managed for the first time to take the top of my Jeep. So cool! I kind of pamper the car- that's why it's been so long. Anyway, I watched the video that came along with my Jeep and I finally figured how to take the damn top off. In the video, I also saw helpful driving hints, and the guy demonstrating the techniques drove over a log. I'm not talking firewood, I'm talking full fledge tree that fell in his path. I want to drive over logs!
