Bleah

I've managed to find every time-wasting activity on the internet tonight I think.

I should pull the network card out of my machine when I have writing to do.

I guess tomorrow is another day. Bleah.

Zeus

I wish the drunk people outside would all be struck mute by the wrathful hand of some deity. Right about now. I'm having enough trouble concentrating and they are really not helping. I really want to yell out the window:

DUDE, YOU DIDN'T GET LAID. SO WHAT. GET OVER IT. CALL A CAB. GO HOME.

Sometimes living in the heart of Hollywood kinda blows.

Yay! Forrest and I shot the cover of Spread

Yay! Forrest and I shot the cover of the new issue of Spread. We still need to get the mag, but I'm really pleased about it. This is from a shoot we did with author/performance artist Michelle Tea where the shoot was really expensive and ended up sort of SNAFUed and I am super pleased to have it turn out as a cool magazine cover. Whoo-hoo!



I heart film.

Guin Turner

Forrest Black and I shot screenwriter/actress Guinevere Turner for both this month's Girlfriends and this month's On Our Backs. Sexy and talented Blue Blood Mary Jane did Guin's makeup for both shoots and she posed with Guin for the On Our Backs one.

Molly has some interesting factoids about Guinevere Turner at Guinevere Turner in On Our Backs

I'm really having trouble getting into a real writing headspace after dealing with techie computer stuff all week.

Marquis 34

Got the most recent issue of Marquis in. Forrest just posted thumbnails of some of our pages from it at this link.

Harsh Mistress

I had a great time at dinner tonight. I finally had a coffee and my headache is much dissipated but still lurking in the back of my brainpan.

S, who really is a science fiction writer, peer-pressured me into taking this quiz. I am apparently:

I am: Robert A. Heinlein Beginning with technological action stories and progressing to epics with religious overtones, this take-no-prisoners writer racked up some huge sales numbers.

Which science fiction writer are you?

I think not.

Heinlein probably would not have procrastinated the way I am procrastinating the article I have to write right now. I mean, right this instant, while I am blogging instead.

Gulp

Now I'm wondering if how much water I drink means anything sinister.

Headache

This endless headache is starting to make me really grouchy. I've got some really tough stuff to deal with with work right now and a throbbing head is not improving my ability to address them. The headache can't be dehydration because I drink water all freaking day all the time. Probably a lot more than is normal.

Going to take a break to get sushi with a friend this evening and that should help.

Forrest saw my last post and told me what he got me for my birthday. He got me a couch! Forrest is awesome. I don't know what I'm going to do about the space issue, but whatever.

I wish my head would stop hurting.

Work Always Comes First

I really want to buy a sofa and a workout thingie and a couple of dining room chairs. I have more than enough money for a sofa and a workout thingie and a couple of dining room chairs. If I get those things, however, they will be in the way when I do certain types of photo shoots. So I do without them.

Anybody know a source for compact stair masters and weightlifting machines? How about lightweight foldable sofas?

I've had a headache at least part of every day for the last week. I feel like getting a coffee because it would relieve some of the headache now, but I think it would make it worse in the long run. So I'm going to try taking a really hot bath instead of getting the coffee I want.

I live in a neighborhood where I am walking distance from a good iced latte from 5am to 2am most days of the week and a short drive 4am to 2am most days of the week. And I am really not taking full advantage of this.

The Most Excellent Rev. Tassy Pink

This is from the most recent update to Blue Blood's Barely Evil and Pinkgasm. We shot this in a real place where we had to worry about getting busted being naughty. I love stuff like this.

One more pic and then I get back to work . . .

Sexy Fandom & Other Photo News

Oh yeah, couple cool news things:

Forrest Black and I shot the image for the new flyer for Sexy Fandom with Molly Case



Also shot the cover of the new On Our Backs and the cover of the new Spread, plus some stuff for Girlfriends and Marquis and some other stuff I'm not thinking of right now. We are all over the newsstand right now. I love print and I especially love magazines.

Stuff

Okay, I haven't been updating this thing much lately. Been crazy busy and kind of jacked up my ankle again to boot. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'm going to post some picture updates today and try to post more words later. Got a magazine deadline I need to make which I am procrastinating, even as I post this...



This shot is a sample from the most recent update to Blue Blood's Gothic Sluts. This is from one of the shoots Forrest and I did on our most recent East Coast trip. I miss some things about the East Coast more than I knew. And I knew I missed some stuff as it was beforehand. Good friends who actually know me, people who read, beautiful wedding, higher education.

Comic Con & Email

Okay, I spent this weekend mostly dealing with computer headaches.

I missed three parties and a gallery show. I had to cancel dinner with friends. I didn't get my laundry done.

I did get the computer problems fixed. I did get a great haircut. I did get a combo housesitter and computer babysitter.

I am shooting every day for the next week. I am going to Comic Con. I am leaving momentarily.

If I am shooting you, you have my cell number. If you emailed, odds are good I didn't get it with the computer problems I've been dealing with. Usually, I am a digital girl, but please phone in this instance.

If you emailed me something which can wait a couple days, odds are good I didn't get it and it would be great if you could please email me again on Monday or Tuesday.

Whoo-hoo! I'm going to have fun at Comic Con! (Assuming I can get it together to get my laundry done.)



This picture is from the last San Diego event thrown by the folks who are doing the Saturday shindig at the convention.

Here is what I wrote about this set on Blue Blood's Gothic Sluts "I really like how you can feel Nina's sexuality in this set, but it is muted, like she is teetering on the cusp and could become submissive or dominant in the blink of an eye. Which is really pretty representative of what she is like in real life."

Look out!

There is an entertaining anecdote that goes with this most recent update to Blue Blood's Barely Evil, but I'm too tired to retell it. Forrest Black posted a bit about it here



Short version of day's events is: Alex rules.

I have been in and out of town so much lately, it is sort of a whirlwind. Totally exhausted from shooting. It was worth it. I really need to get back to my physical therapist, but I need to get another x-ray first. Soon soon. Sort of want to detail my adventures, but feeling more visual than verbal at the moment. Today's update to Blue Blood's Gothic Sluts shot by yours truly and Forrest Black:



If you heart Scar, you can see naughty NSFW samples of the most recent updates to Scar13.com at this link and this link

Scar is Awesome!

There is a new site called Scar13.com which just went live which I'm really pleased to have worked on. It is a really artistically satisfying collaborative effort by Scar, a bunch of the Blue Blood usual suspects, and a whole bunch of fun guest photogs. There are a slew of sample shots from the members area at http://www.blueblood.net/boards/showthread.php?t=3825 I'd love to hear feedback on what people think of the tour.
