I did another photo shoot with
angramainyu today. We got in a few dance photos, plus a whole wack of nudes with experimental lighting. I discovered that seeing myself nude and underlit was disconcertingly like looking at a doll. The shadows cast by thighs onto where the hips join on make it seem like I have removeable legs, much like a Barbie. Very weird.
We did some fisheye lens stuff, too, and then we tried some underlit jumping photos before finishing up with some contorted stills. I think there's some really cool stuff there. I guess I'll see soon enough!
I move into my new place tomorrow. Whee! I'm really looking forward to being settled down in there. It's been pretty darned cabin feverish in here as of late. The only place I can go that isn't choked with people is the bathroom, and that's pretty claustrophobic.
The only ones who seem happy by the population of the apartment are the critters, who all seem to be thriving on the extra attention.
Yesterday, I experienced a sudden levelling up in my elevator shimmy drills. Once I have 'em where I want them, I think I'll start doing spot turns in the elevator. My vestibular senses won't know what hit them.
And joy of joys, my thumbnail appears to be getting better! It wasn't turgid with pus yesterday, and today, it's pus-free and I can bang my desk with my thumb and nail without pain. Woohoo!
Now here's my question of the moment: am I gaming tonight? Late last night, Troy told me a LARP game was on this evening, but I wasn't specifically invited by the GMs. I have no idea if I'm supposed to show up or not.

I've had the pleasure of working with numerous excellent photographers. Trust me, I never look as good in person as I do in these pictures. Heh...
Balderdash. Heh.

Hello
Date: 2006-09-21 05:33 pm (UTC)From: (Anonymous)On my google homepage I noticed under the top 100 new videos, a clip called "Mother F*ckin Chicken Dance" I was intrigued...
After watching the clip and thinking you were kind of cute, I was delighted to notice that I could also watch "ShanMonster Bikini" and "ShanMonster: Floorwork and Poi" It was on the Poi video that I noticed your LiveJournal link.
However the story does not end there, for your most recent post mentioned a nude photoshoot and graciously included a link to the photographer.
After a few minutes of browsing some very amazing photos of you and the other models on his site. I returned to your LiveJournal page to leave this comment.
And to say Thanks.
Have a great day,
Jon
