VAMPIREI think the whole concept of being a vampire is so alluring. Being able to live for the rest of your life, staying up all night, sleeping all day, and the whole dark, mysterious aura they reek - hot. One of my all…
WHAT A HEARING WEEKENDI know, I know. I hate to title this already pointing out the obvious. All weekend I played with my hearing friends. All of them could hear, and I was the sole individual that couldn't. I forgot wha…
BACHELOR WEEKENDI'm getting all cleaned up to leave around 7:30 to New Orleans to pick up Ryan at the airport. It's his bachelor weekend in New Orleans - looking forward to it, big time. This is the same guy who got arre…
TIMBERLAKE CAN ACTOk, I think I've finally can suck it up and say a SINGER can act. I'm not talking JLO age, I'm speaking in terms of the Disney kids - Britney in Crossroads, eh - the movie was cute and she was cute, but…
TATE'S TATTLETALES1. For you LOST fans, Rodrigo Santoro will be joining the show in the new season. I am not sure what his role will require but I do know from my lady friends, from the movie Love Actually - they'll be h…
FINAL ANSWER?I just finished watching Final Destination 3 and it is so GOOD. It's just an amazing concept - having a prenomination before something happens then "cheating" Death. The first one, I was shaking. The second …
ASH AND LUKE! Here are some random shots I took of Ash/Luke the same day I shot Allison and Josh's engagement photos. I thought they came out really adorable and think y'all will agree with me!
BOOK AMBUSHOff the point - I had a hour to kill yesterday until someone was back in their office (reunion related stuff) so I stopped by to browse at the library. I hadn't been there in many months so it was nice to be b…
BROTHERHOODA show I've been watching for the last 3 weeks since its premiere is Showtime's Brotherhood. It's based on a good brother/bad brother concept in a close knit community in Philly. I'm really enjoying watching t…
THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEKI have ALOT to do. When don't I?Today, I've got a shoot with two little girls at 10am. I have to go pay up the deposit for our class reunion location then get some insurance forms to go get it ap…
GLORYYesterday we also watched Glory Road with Josh Lucas in the role of a real life hero, Don Haskins. He was the first basketball coach in NCCA history to have 7 starting players who were black. This movie just stirs u…
WATER GUNS AND CREAMNoveneau is the host of this party that's held every now and then at Fat Baby's off Rivington in Manhattan. Sarah, Shira, Gabe, Susie, CK and I got to attend one while we were in the city in June. Gab…
ARTY IN NEW YORK CITYFinally, here are some pictures from our NY trip - I have some time because I am waiting on some test prints to see how they come out in order to edit more.This is the day of CK's art show. She has h…
BAD CHECKSCome'on! I went to Walgreens today and I couldn't use my debit card. I stare at the poor guy behind the counter with my "Do Not Freak Tate Out" look. I have been doing a major kick ass job with keeping up with …
CAPOTE PASSIONI love the passion Capote has for himself as a writer. I want that passion as a photographer. I DO have passion, but there is so much more I want to do with my photography. I told Sarah a few weeks ago that…
I don't get it, do you?
PISSED OFF PHOTOGRAPHYI was working on this photo. I fucked up. I didn't shoot it with enough light, so I started just "shhhhhhhrrrrrring" my mouse on the Curves and it ended up like this. Hey, it's pretty funky pop-art-…
BASIC INSTINCTSI loved Basic Instinct back in the early '90s. Sharon Stone was HOT. Michael Douglas managed to develop a hard rock ass for the public viewers to see yet I just couldn't get past him being a "sex star" in …
THE DISCOVERYI'm elated now. I think I figured out what my problem was with getting my photos printed. I called my print company, there are two stores in Baton Rouge. In the past, whatever I dropped off to get developed …
MOVIE ASSHOLESI forgot! I have to mention this. Last night, Sarah, Jenny, and I arrived @ the theater. I wanted MOVIE food and I was so excited about it. I went up to the cashier register and said I wanted to get the nac…
DEVILISHLY GOODSarah and I went to see The Devil Wears Prada last night. We were going for the "third time's a charm" (yep, Lisa - it was!) because the last two previous movies we went to catch open captioned - the capti…
PIERCING REDLast Friday evening, I popped in one of my netflix movies - The Matador. It stars Pierce Bronsan, Greg Kinnear, and Hope Davis - all actors of high quality! The movie is based on a friendship developed in Mex…
JUMPING BEANSFor some reason - it seems like the jumping thing is everywhere! I was browsing Muck's website and saw some new postings she put under her connect blog. Kick ass shots - I loved them!Manny and Merritt by LAD…
I WANNA DANCE AND ACT AND BE BIG IN LIFE! I like to dance, acting isn't really my thing in terms of a career and being big in life - I think that applies to anyone who wants a big chunk out of living it!I just finished w…
SYCK WORLD Sarah and I slept over at Donna's last evening because we went to a wine and cheese party at Rose's house. It was just easier to stay in town so Sarah could get up early and go straight to work from here. I'm…
CAN $5 PAY FOR AN MBA?I was browsing a bit on odd jobs through craigslist.com and came across this - checked it out and ended up purchasing a block of art! What a kick ass idea - I should do that with my photography and …
SUPERMAN DIDN'T RETURNI'm a bit annoyed with Regal Cinemas right now. For the past year, I've been attending open captioned screenings every now and then with NO problems. A month ago - my parents wanted to come with me …
what, that's keri?
SLEEPLESS IN SORRENTOMy sleeping schedule is still out of whack. I guess that's what a month of traveling across the United States does to you. I can imagine if I flew off to Paris or Japan or another country (pick your …
NEW YORK, I MISSI will always have a soft spot for NYC even though it really kicked my ass hard.It was so great being with Melissa and Dave, along with seeing others throughout the week. Thanks again to them for letting …
MIK MAK MOOYou're older another year once again. I know you really don't give a flying fluck but that's what I love about you. It's been so great seeing you more than we usually do this year - it makes life better anothe…
HOME - FREAKING - A - HOMEYou know I'm not crazy about living in Sorrento, Louisiana. (No bad feelings, just not my cup of tea after all) For the next three weeks, I AM crazy about living here where no shit flies the fan…
