329. New camera (thanks to you!)
June 7th, 2010 § 19 Comments
Hi weezys, guess what? I got a new camera! (It made me a little shy and a lot bossy.) Thanks to everyone who gave me such great advice on what kind of camera to get. (You’re the best!) I ended up going with Canon. Here are some photos Michael & I took. The kitty playsuit is from Mandate of Heaven. Mandate of Heaven playsuits are so good they make me cry lactose-free tears of effusive love. For example, how did they know to make a denim playsuit with kitty pockets and plaid shoulder ties? Or a powder blue halter playsuit with heart pockets? Mandate, you’re amazing.
I celebrated the return of Ethiopian lunch by having some with my friend, thought about de-classy-ing these cupcakes by baking them in my penis cupcake pan, took too many photos with my new camera (I’m so happy you can finally see my shoes and socks clearly in photos,) returned 87 library books, bought a hat (the green one’s mine) for the first time in my life because Starr always looks so freaking amazing in hats and she’s my style inspiration for everything these days, played pool in a bar for the second time in my life (playing billiards with my friend in his dad’s basement home bar while sneaking sips of our parents’ bourbon when we were in middle school doesn’t count, does it?) and sucked as expected, danced to The Velvet Underground not by myself, and danced to Big Boi’s newish track by myself.
Is there anything else I can tell you? I took these photos just around town, and maybe they give you an idea of where I live and what my life is like, although although a truer depiction might be me sitting at my desk, typing and shouting epithets at myself while wearing the same sack dress/terrycloth romper I always wear when it’s hot. Or maybe you also live in my town and you know all the places in this photo and you read this blog but I don’t know this, in which case, don’t tell me because I’ll feel self-conscious and a little weird.
In the next few days, I need to write more, read with more penetration and concentration, and plan my trip to San Francisco. I’m taking a Greyhound bus from here to San Francisco, and I’m not sure if I should take the bus straight through or if I should get off and explore (and sleep in an actual bed.) I’ve wanted to see Salt Lake City ever since I watched SLC Punk in high school, which is a totally shallow reason, and also I know that the movie is supposed to make you think Salt Lake City is a depressing, soul-sucking place to live, but I liked that back then (and now.)
I have also started to answer some questions on my Formspring. I feel crazy self-conscious about having one.
Have I mentioned already that I’m so grateful to everyone who visits and reads our blog? You’re the best.
(My socks are from Shanghai, my shoes are Swedish Hasbeens)
(My bag is from the very early days of Ebay, like when Britney was still this hot young maybe-virgin dripping in images that contradicted her words, and there was a picture of her wearing this bag and I searched for it on Ebay and got it for $3.99, so thanks Brit for the bag inspiration and for the songs: Toxic, Crazy, Boys, My Prerogative [sic], and I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.)

Love, Jenny
that Ethiopian lunch looks so gooood.
And yes, Britney back in her maybe-virgin days was totally my cup of tea. Now she’s a shot of mad tequila
Wowza, that Loop bag is one I had a couple of years ago. I love your outfit and your nails are fantastic in light turquoise. And those Swedish Hasbeens are truely covetworthy!!!
the photo quality is gorgeous. Love your Chinese socks!
Gah! That playsuit can not be more perfect! KITTY POCKETS!! It’s too good to be true almost!
OMG! this outfit is so fobby… but in the best possible way!!! i have a huge stuffed animal of those pigs in my room hehe! i’m drooling after your swedish hasbeens
and…i can’t believe you had 87 books checked out! hehe!
You made a good choice on the camera! And ADORABLE playsuit.
Love Grace.
Those Swedish Hasbeens are high on my lust list! And the new shots look great.
The photos are so clear. Good choice with the Canon cam.
you look adorable and the pictures are great quality. i love the last one.
That bag is the cutest thing ever! And for once socks and sandals look good!
I’m loving the photography too. xxx
Mandate is amazing, as is your new camera! Holy wow, the photos are gorgeous. I can’t wait to see where you take that thing this summer. I still tell people about your kitty romper all the time. I mean besides the fact that it’s adorned with the greatest details ever, the fact that it snaps at the bottom is GENIUS. (this is the one that snaps right?) Anyway, yeah, I need a snap romper for Bonnaroo port-a-potties. Your bag is pretty unusual too– I mean that in a very good way.
outfits, sure, sure, but…SLC PUNK! CLASSIC HIGH SCHOOL MOVIE. You should probably stop there. Just don’t take any aspirin or, like, go to law school without having been an undergraduate.
I LOVE that romper! The patchwork design is so unusual and cute!
Congrats on the new camera, Jenny- gorgeous shots! I love that romper too! Little details always make a piece of clothing stellar. Hope you have/had a grand ol’ time in SF! Cath and I have always wanted to go. I think we’ll skip the greyhound from the ATL though
I’m glad you’re enjoying your new camera! You got some great shots with it. And the kitty romper is too cute!
sick cat romper, that has the cutest butt! &&&i’m really excited to have discovered you guy’s blog, just tonight, at 3 am, and i just wanted to make that clear and everything. you guys manage to say a lot of things i haven’t really been able to say on my blog for fear of being too preachy or i can’t find the right words or even just fear of scaring away readers who just want to see cute outfits, and well, i’ll be reading your stuff from now on!
man why do all the coolest blog gals live on the opposite end of the country?
you look fantastic in this playsuit. pray tell, could you please share with us readers where you buy your mandate of heaven playsuits? is there a store in san francisco?
Lovely photos and adorable playsuit. I’ve been on the market for a new camera too.
que linda da photos!
