b franks birthday

bethany franks turned 23 yesterday. her roommate yukiko threw a surprise birthday party last night at sean's house. the theme was cheese and wine - kiko provided the cheese and everyone brought a bottle of their favorite wine. (from the collection of bottles there, it seemed that most people's favorite is zinfandel -- they must have made up half the bottles.) i took a handful of pictures at the party, and couldn't decide which i liked better, so today you get a double shot here at the photo diary. it's funny, i think people are beginning to get more comfortable with me toting my digital camera everywhere and taking pictures of, well, everything, including the cheese. this daily photo log has become something i look forward to each day. if the day is ending and i still don't have a photo, i start getting antsy, looking everywhere for an interesting shot.

in other news...
baus reports that opus may be back, and the berkely breathed website seems to confirm. now we just need bill watterson back on board and we're in business...

...and apparently i still haven't written enough for today's entry to make the two photos sit correctly on the page, so i'm going ramble here for another few lines. kris germaine left town yesterday. he was here for the past week for andy jensen's wedding. i had intended to take a photo of him (and tawni) for the blog, but it completely slipped my mind while we were together. for those of you who know him, he's still living out in LA, trying to make it as an actor. we talked about a few ideas for short films which could be pretty exciting... (okay, that should do it.)
