How timely that I should receive an email touting a handful of games for photo geeks, just days after chatting up with friends how much I absolutely LOVE and need games in my life. (Athletic, competitive, card, dice, board, etc - NOT of the mind variety.)

So I decide to join “Mission 24″ on Flickr. Someone sends out a topic and everyone has 24 hours to submit 2 NEW photos on their interpretation of the word. I join in with 2 hrs left in the current assignment. It’s on “CHANGE”.

Here’s my first submission:

Interesting and appropriate topic. I desperately both fear and hunger for change. There’s a pain in getting stuck in the same ruts and a risk in venturing out into the unknown. So here’s to joining a new group and trying something new.

Another quick attempt to procrastinate on engaging entries, here’s another shot at the “picture a day” project. So check it out and come back in a year and see how mine develops.

Yay! This Friday marks the date of my housemate’s first solo/one-man show @ the Launchpad gallery. For those of you in Portland, go check it out. If you haven’t seen his band play, then show up at 6pm. In addition to Jaik’s good looks and good licks on the guitar, Michelle brings a woman’s touch and white girl rhythm to the drums and Joel’s moves and bass lines lead this trio to triumphant sound.
