peaches was fan-fucking-tastic last night.
probably one of my most favourite shows ever.
i haven't had a chance to look through all of my pics yet, although i suspect most of them are crap. i was having too good of a time dancing & singing. :)

testing out my new lens in low light at the park (it was much darker than it appears in this shot).
30mm at f/1.8 for 1/13 sec (handheld).
a little grainy, but overall not bad.
zee was having a grand old time climbing up on these rocks. :)

today, october 12, 2009, marks the eleventh anniversary of matthew shepard's death. i've barely seen anything about it online, and that really saddens me. did people get fed up after ten?
i truly believe that we're moving closer to a society where lgbtq individuals are treated like human beings & are given the rights they truly deserve. until that day comes, we can't forget the deaths of people such as matthew shepard, brandon teena, angie zapata & larry king.
rip matthew shepard.

 rip stephen gately.
03.17.1976 - 11.09.2009
i just heard that stephen gately died last night. this news definitely hits me harder than any of the other celebrity deaths this year... boyzone was my favourite band growing up, and many of the memories i associate with my friends and growing up in england have at least a little something to do with boyzone.
i first saw boyzone on may 18th 1994 at the cambridge corn exchange in england with my friend tania. i was obsessed with ronan (center in the shot above) & tania loved stephen. this was our first concert ever, and tania's mum drove us to cambridge. i don't remember much about the show itself, but i just remember having such a good time.
i would save up my lunch money to buy boyzone singles, albums & magazines... even if they contained just one tiny photo of boyzone. i still have my entire collection to this day. i could never bring myself to get rid of it, even though i don't really listen to them anymore. and to this day, i still buy every single/album that the members of boyzone release.
i moved to the US in 1996 where nobody had heard of this band... in 1997, boyzone did a hard rock cafe tour through the US. i lined up for two hours prior to the show... i was the only person in line. i sat right in front of the band that could sell out wembley arena multiple nights in a row in england- it was insane. after the show, i met everyone in the band, and they were the nicest guys ever. stephen, especially, had nothing but love for his fans. i took this picture above at the hard rock cafe in phoenix, az on july 13st 1997.
some odd years ago, stephen gately came out as gay. he was a role model for so many young kids, and that was a huge deal. he married his partner in 2006.
boyzone recently did a reunion tour around the UK. i always joked that i was going to plan my next trip around their tour so that i could follow them around the country. it's too bad i didn't get to see them before stephen passed.
rip stephen gately, you will be missed.

my friend chris (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rev616) came down from michigan with his girlfriend jessica, so i hung out with them on friday night. they're thinking about moving down here, which i really hope they do.
i met chris on livejournal many, many years ago. he moved to phoenix to go to school & happened to move right down the street from me. he moved back to michigan when he was finished with school.
also: chris cannot keep his eyes open for photos.

last weekend a 10-story building was imploded in downtown phoenix, about 1.2 miles from my house. there were reports of up to a thousand people there to witness the implosion, with some of them having been there for hours prior. the news even had live coverage. haha.
i didn't feel like standing out in the heat to take pictures, so instead i took a picture of the aftermath. this was about 30 seconds after the building was imploded- taken from my back balcony.

got my jellyfish finished up last night (by eric wason at lucky draw tattoo in glendale, az). my next sitting will be to fill in some of the space around my dad tattoo and then eventually work the waves up around my octopus. i'm thinking of getting a seahorse on the back side of my upper arm to fill in that space (and you know, to keep with the theme). not sure what else i want to fill in some of the bigger spaces. possibly some snails or some flowers.

talking to idioticpoet about books made me realize that i hadn't yet posted a picture of my new kitchen bookshelves. my big bookshelf in the living room was double & triple-stacked, so i figured it was time to invest in some shelving to fill up the void in my kitchen. plus, now i have more room for harry potter toys. bwahaha. (if only i was joking...)
current organization (will change):
left top: cookbooks (mostly vegan)
left two: photography-related
left three: photography related & graphic novels
left four: "weird" state books & graphic novels
left bottom: textbooks & instructional books
middle top: unorganized fiction
middle two: unorganized fiction
middle three: unorganized fiction
middle four: unorganized fiction
middle bottom: unorganized fiction
right top: harry potter & harry potter-related
right two: unorganized non-fiction
right three: unorganized non-fiction
