got a website!

hey!
* so i bought my website and got hosting service! http://www.littletotheleft.com/
if you look at it now you will see a big fat piece of crap.
BUT! i am taking my first vacation in over a year starting saturday, so i am hoping to get it up and running properly within the next week and a half.
* also (and i am super excited about this! all of it!) Andy is moving in with me Dec. 1st. There are a few fantastic things about this
1 - it was not a money decision, we're just ready to do it! but...
2 - it frees up a bunch of $ for the both of us!
The thing about my apartment now is that my art supplies take up a bunch of room, and i don't even have a proper place to work creatively. With Andy moving in it would only get worse... but I am looking at art studio space today and Saturday! and the rent on those places is SUPER cheap, so I'll still be saving $ and having a good place to work! YAY.

* no other real big news but I have come across a bunch of links lately during my lunch breaks I can share with you:

* I have scheduled a photoshoot for 11/28 and I am pretty excited because it is some promo shots for a website that has gotten 44,000 hits in the last month (and its a brand new website- very exciting)
* I am looking for a job, have applied to 4 so far, all photography related
* BIG NEWS: my FAVORITE photogrpaher in the whole world is coming to LA next month and by some crazy stroke of fucking luck I found out we have a mutual friend! Anyways I contacted the photographer (Raphael Mazzucco) and he gave me his personal blackberry email. We are meeting in 2 weeks! AHHHH
