Friday miscellany

This was my 100th post. Cue confetti.

I may have an opportunity soon to get into photography. Not selling cameras or developing film. Actual photography. My friend/coworker does some portraiture and events on the side, but she'd like to develop that into a full-fledged photography business and has expressed interest in having me take part in that. I may be helping her with her next wedding ("Do you have any problems with it being a gay wedding?" Laughter.) just to get my feet wet. Given that I have had considerable anxiety about ever branching out into professional photography on my own -- I don't want to give someone subpar work on something that can't exactly be re-done, like their wedding day, because I was a newb and made the inevitable newb mistakes -- this would be perfect for me. Low pressure.

I am jonesing for a few new skirts. Full, swishy, longer skirts. (But not full-length -- something more from knee to calf length.) Summer is approaching and I've always hated shorts, but jeans are going to be unbearable. Plus, the swooshy skirts are just so much damn fun. It appears the style this spring is to put pockets on the skirts again, something I think is awesome, because I don't like to have to reach into my bra to pull out my chapstick.

Ahem.

Also, for the record. I don't like chocolate. I don't hate it -- I can eat it, in moderation. It makes me very thirsty (let me repeat for emphasis here, very thirsty) and it's not a taste I'm really wild over. However. My husband's parents gave me a solid chocolate computer from Sarris' for Christmas, and it sat uneaten for a couple months. And Oh. My. God. That is some divine shit right there. If there are any other chocolate non-fans like me out there, I seriously recommend getting your hands on some chocolate from Sarris (a local company, based in Pittsburgh, factory located in Canonsburg). You may find a renewed interest in the stuff.

Other popular food items I don't particularly care for: ice cream, pizza.
