I’ve always liked the REM Pop Song 89 lyric, “Should we talk about the weather? (Hi…hi, hi) Should we talk about the government?…”

Let’s start with the weather. Damn it’s been a WET spring in western Oregon. It has rained for the last couple of weeks– just about daily. And cold, 50-degree rain. The mercury hit 64 today and it felt balmy. Until it began raining again.

As for the government, well, The Daily Show and Colbert are on a hiatus so I’m clueless right now! All I know is we’re still in TWO wars and we still don’t have enough money for schools and domestic necessities. * sigh *

Some new fashion photography shot today. It was a test shoot with stylist Elizabeth Gilson. She was fabulous to work with! Mother Nature, on the other hand, was disruptive with rain showers off and on throughout the day.

I’ve also been working feverishly behind the scenes on SEO for my web presence. Wordpress is amazing in terms of it’s ability to catch the eye of search engines like Google. Stay tuned for upcoming SEO Wordpress tips.

Updated my model mayhem page today. Nothing major– just added icon links to my twitter, facebook, linkedin, google, and this here blog. MM uses bbcode instead of good ol’ html, so it took a bit to figure out how to make the icons actually work and look proper.
