APAD 23: Juno this is hard

"Kelley Hennigan pauses to model her U.S.A. Olympic gear in her University of Denver dorm room Tuesday, April 15, 2008 in Denver, Colo."

For those of you who didn't get the title let me help you out. Juno=Did you know...HA, now do you get it? Ok, never mind. That's why I'm not a comedian.

No car trouble today because I took my parents Maxima to avoid any problems. However my slump seems to continue as the above image shows. After a little golf practice I went cruisin and again I came up with nothing. Maybe I'm just trying to hard to find that amazing picture instead of just making one that fits a story. Now that I'm able to think about it (after the fact) there were two prominent stories today that I somehow forgot to illustrate. First, most of the metro area saw temperatures in the upper 70's and 80's for the first time in a few weeks which brought people out to enjoy the weather. Second, there is some type of sickness floating around the University dorms and 47 students have reported illnesses. I really think that I'm not thinking as a journalist because those should have two sure fire things to cover today and I didn't. I haven't had an actual assignment since I left the paper in late January and my only guess is that has affected my current slump. I'm going to try to cover stories instead of just driving around looking for "pretty" pictures.

After struggling with my black box and tube of expensive glass I headed over to watch Juno (hence the title) at Kelley's place. I even brought Ben&Jerry's Half Baked ice cream, her favorite, which I hoped scored me a few brownie points, no pun intended. The movie was different than most that I see but I actually really liked it. The humor was dry but not stupid and fit well with the story. I can see why it won an academy award for best original screenplay.

I have to be up in four hours to shoot a group photo of the Men's Lacrosse team so I'm going to bed. Lets see what I can do with cold and wet weather and a whole day to shoot before 4pm class. Night.
