1. I’m really, reaaalllllly sucking at taking pictures lately, so you get a picture of me from a ballgame last Thursday (nothing wrong with a little narcissism!). I left my camera at a friends house about a week and a half ago and as of yet, have been unable to retrieve it. I’ve been borrowing Nicole’s camera sporadically…

2. The DC Council passed legislation today which recognizes legal gay marriage from other jurisdictions! A step in the right direction!

3. I’ll be going to buy some film next week I think. I’ve got tons of black and white, but I’ll need some color film for the Outer Banks. I particularly liked the Kodak Ektar 100 I used for the cherry blossoms, so I’ll probably stick with that.

4. Ah yes, I have come to realize that it may be time for a change here at elswifterino.com… I’m scuttling “The Monday Morning Post.” Monday’s, especially Monday mornings, are just way too hectic. I never truly have the time to post, and as The Monday Morning Post evlolved alongside Ten on Tuesday’s, I kind of realized they might be a bit redundant. I mean, really, my life is not that interesting!

5. My APA pool league team, Ballbreakers, has officially won the spring session. It’s a little odd for us since we had been getting spanked for so long, but we’ve finally gotten used to the teams, players, and location, and our team has really gelled nicely these past 4 months. Let’s go Ballbreakers!

6. I just thought of an awesome self-portrait photo. Literally, right now. I may shoot it later today or tomorrow morning, so more about that later.

7. It’s Cinco de Mayo… that doesn’t really excite me all too much, except for the fact that it means I’m only 18 days away from the Outer Banks!

8. It’s going to be a busy week and a half at work, through next Friday. Not looking forward to that…

9. I’m hoping to get to the Corcoran this weekend to check out the Maya Lin Systematic Landscapes exhibit… looks to be pretty damn cool.

10. A while back, my cousin had menioned that he was moving into an apartment and would like a framed photo of mine to help adorn the walls. Well, he just recently moved and is perusing my catalog of photos to pick one out. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about putting together a portfolio and hitting up a few neighborhood curators to see if I can get some wallspace in local bars, etc. We’ll see…
