1  GREEK WEEK - So this past weekend sort of took an unexpected turn toward Greek themed activities. It’s kind of crazy how it all just happened but I’m glad that it did.

• On Saturday I catered an event at Paramount Studios with a new friend, Lisa. We had just met that day and found out that we apparently both served at Help Portrait together six months prior.  Crazy small world. We had a picture together on Instagram too and didn’t even know it!  
• Apparently the event we catered was the Greek Awards After-Party. Who knew? Yeah apparently they have awards ceremonies! We saw the guest list beforehand and had hoped that Tina Fey and Zach Galifianakis would show up but they didn’t. But we did get to see Justin Chambers of ER and that was kind of cool.
• Then Lisa, being as sweet and charming as she is, managed to get three phone numbers that night. One of which who was an actor, another who was a pretty well respected Greek musician. And this musician just happened to be playing at Disneyland for Greek Week, so he gave Lisa a free ticket to both parks.
• And so we went yesterday to the show, danced with Greek Mickey, stopped by a wine seminar, and met some amazing people. Then we rode a lot of rides.  

It was a busy, full weekend. But good. So crazy to think that I spent most of it with a girl I had literally just met, at random Greek-themed events (a culture I know nothing about … I mean, my knowledge is limited to that of which I know from “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”). But it was great. I’m glad that the weekend turned out that way.

2  LAST WEDDING HOORAH - You guys! I’ve decided to hang up weddings for good. Well, for the most part. I’m going to concentrate on just commercial and fashion photography from here on out (but I may only take a few weddings and/or photo booths here and there depending on the couple). But yeah.  

Reading Start really made me think things through. Time to edit stuff out of my life and just focus on the things I really want to master. And so that’s why I’m editing out weddings - gives me time and space to do what I really love to do.

But yes - wedding in Tulsa for this lovely couple in just two weeks!

3  STEINBECK FOR FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS - So somehow I got caught in an agreement with a friend where I have to read two Steinbeck novels so that he would watch all 5 seasons of FNL.  

Seems easy enough, right? Not really. We’re both very adamant about how great each things are (and Katie can attest to both, she’s the mediator of all this). But I’m just not into reading fiction. Like at all. And I just got the first book, East of Eden, and it’s 600 pages long. What the what?!

This is going to be tough. I haven’t yet started. Can I just watch the James Dean version?

4  YOUTUBE COMEDY WEEK - I started to catch up last week since it was Youtube Comedy Week but I only got so far. But I did get to this video and it cracked me up. You can watch the whole thing if you want, but my favorite part is at 2:25 because Mike Song’s face is pretty much priceless.

PS - it’s meant to be over the top, cheesy. It’s a take on Asian Game Shows featuring some of the best Asian-American Youtubers. Which reminds me, I’ve really gotta catch up on my Wong Fu videos. It’s been awhile.

5  SUMMER PLANS  -  I already have a few plans in the works. Tulsa in June to shoot a wedding. Possibly NYC in July. Sister trip in August to a brand new city of sorts.  

But I’m itching to go somewhere for a quiet weekend getaway. I’m thinking Portland or Boston or Hawaii … yeah, I know. That’s a little extreme Jo. But it can happen. I think it’s needed. Just a little breather.  

So don’t mind me if I just happen to randomly Tweet or Instagram a pic from a random city.
