drugs are good
A nice piece in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine about Alexander Shulgin. Seems like E has been on stasis and coke seems to be a lot more popular as a social drug at least here.
The article takes a nice look at what Shulgin's been doing as well as trends with the DEA and FDA which thankfully are moving in somewhat positive directions.

mmm beer... and other ice cold things
I have a new favorite camera - the 1D MK II. I used it for the Google shoot in Tahoe and it rocks. The battery life is nice, but the image quality is dope! This weekend Bill Dobbins also showed up with all new Canon gear switching from Nikon with the whole nine yards including a 1Ds MK II, 20D for backup, and all th requisite lenses. Then I got my renewal for CPS too so a lot of Canon love this weekend.
My favorite thing was probably seeing Collette Flack hoisting up a keg for reps. I think at our Orange opening party we should invite her to do the same, and then tap it and enjoy the rest of the evening.
and the token powder shot:

two years...
Today I shot my first local physique athlete of the year and had a pretty good time with it. She's only been training two years, but has made a lot of progress as I got to see her before pix and it was a pretty impressive turnaround.
Gotta go through the shots now, but one of the first shots...
On Friday I rode past the Chronicle building down the street and all these cop cars and security were there as well as a crowd of people outside. Turns out it was Arnold meeting with the Chron.

Kashori
Another interesting word. This one is Japanese and means roughly "death from overwork" - pretty much what too many Americans seem to be doing - chasing something - wanting too much, etc.
Of course when I am idle, my mind drifts hedonistically and if there are distractions present (and even when they are not) I will inevitably be drawn to them, sucked in by the potentialities and hopes, but as my own philosophy espouses, hope is one of humankind's most powerful feelings alongside its complement, laziness... not sure what that says about me - oh well...

Dreams
I dreamt that I saw a bunch of Auburn folks including Jay Stone who told me that his old girlfriend Rebecca Robertson was looking good and pretty buff. After my Garden State experience, I've been wondering a lot more about some of the old high school folks that I haven't kept up with.
In one part of it I saw Karl Barnett eating at a place with his mom and dad. I walked up the ladder to the 2nd floor of this place and was perusing things in this weird shop and then Karl came up after finishing eating and he was looking at jog-dials that were stand alone like the ones on iPods but it was for a build your own CPU that Karl was looking to make at this Radio Shack type upstairs. That was about it for the Karl Barnett segment.
