I thought I'd put up a few pictures from my weekend as it's played out so far. That's me (above) on Saturday, taking a selfie in my medicine cabinet mirror.
Here's (above) a color xerox I unearthed this morning, showing my kid on the occasion of his second month's birthday. It was drawn by John.
The genitals are there because babies of both sexes have absolutely huge genitals. If you don't have a kid of your own you probably didn't know that. The equipment quickly shrinks but it is puzzling why nature would endow newborns like that.
On Friday night I went with John to an RFA fight (Ressurection Fighting Alliance/a UFC-type organization) at the Veteran's Memorial Auditorium in Culver City. The event was wonderful and John's friend Tom arranged for us to have ringside seats.
That's (above) a real UFC Octagon, by the way. I always wondered what it was like to be on the audience side of that and now I know. That's the judge's area on the right. Left of center we see a hidden sound man with a directional mic on a monopod (a single-legged tripod).
BTW: the auditorium looks empty in this photo but that's because I didn't compose the shot right. Actually the place was packed to the gills.
I'd never been to a professional Mixed Martial Arts fight before so I ended up missing a gazillion fight shot opportunities in favor of what the technical crew was doing all around me, which I found fascinating. Here's (above) the camera crane which is an indispensable tool at events like this.
Ooooh! And the card girls....yes, yes I did get their picture!
Glad you had an awesome weekend, Eddie. I was just on 34th Street in New York the other day and visited the Empire State Building that day too. My 5 days up in New England went great and I got to visit family and spend lots of time with my dad.
ReplyDeleteGetting the MacBook Air this week too.
Okay, I bought a 13 inch one yesterday with 8 GBs RAM and a solid state drive. People kept telling me that there's less of a chance something something can go wrong with having that kind of drive as opposed to a traditional hard drive. I'll be buying the Wacom tablet and a PS subscription in the next month or so. So glad to be part of the Apple family apart from my iPhone.
ReplyDeleteB: I got your note and I just made the appropriate deletions. Sorry I didn't do that earlier. If I overlooked anything, let me know.
