As it stands.

That was a strange weekend.

On Thursday night, I was bitten on my left hand by a friend's cat which became infected and sent me on a trip to the walk-in clinic on Friday. I have never been bitten by anything that hard, and this was a tiny cat, not even two years old. Now I have three gross sores on my hand that look like I was attacked by a small vampire with bad aim.

Friday night was weird, and the antibiotics they gave me for the cat bite slowed me way down, so we took it easy with friends and finally watched "Lord of War." Turns out, it's a good movie, and sometimes Nicolas Cage isn't a bad actor. See also "Matchstick Men."

Saturday night, I went to the Terror at the Train Station Halloween party at Union Station in downtown KC with a bunch of my friends (Kyle, Josh, Jen, Dory, Gretchen & Sonja). I went as a visual pun:



Get it?

Sunday found me and Sonja at the Chiefs game against the Seattle Seahawks at Arrowhead Stadium, thanks to tickets given to us by Lance Combs, an up-and-coming country singer that Sonja has been doing graphic design work for in her free time. I'm not one for country music, but Lance is a nice guy and free football tickets are nice. Of course, I was nursing a hangover, and sitting in the sun at a football game in one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL is no way to recover. Still, it was fun, and the Chiefs won, though we didn't see Kim & Dustin. Maybe that's for the best, though, as I was all out of sorts.

On Sunday, October 8th, we had a shoot at the I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Missouri. Thanks to some unseasonably warm weather (much like today), we all got sunburned, but had a lot of fun. I got to take a few laps on the track in my own car, which was awesome, but also a little bit scary. I've got a picture of that somewhere, too. Some other pics can be found here. That was my first try at shooting with a DSLR, so they're not great. If you want hi-res versions of the pictures, you can download all of them in this 89mb zip file.
