How I was going to be unprepared etc. It wasn't TOO bad, I got through it and didn't get depressed. The one week per summer that I have spent here up to this point couldn't have prepared me for a whole summer here. I just can't believe how beautiful it is, everytime I look out my window to Elliot Bay and the Olympics it just kills me. PLUS it isn't lost on the people that live here, they treat every nice weather day as <br />a gift.bgelderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271963151425195663noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13198677.post-36484751653990006502009-07-14T18:31:00.006-05:002009-07-14T18:43:50.565-05:00no TVFor someone who doesn't have cable at home. I've managed to get myself addicted to two shows lately.

It's about 7 episode series about the 19,000-mile (31,000 km) journey of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman from London to New York on motorcycles. They travel eastward through Europe and Asia, flew to Alaska and continued by road from there to New York. After hearing about it from my copywriter here at work I looked it up at the Seattle Public Library, reserved it then waited patiently for it to come in. It's so great! My favorite is their ride on The Road of Bones in Siberia. Sulzer pointed out last week that there's a new one with them in Africa. It's next on my list.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpJuy3EaqnWz8SFTNGodwyGFmj4hwN_xildhYNxnvm9Tjm4bqBNy3DcbibH3E2lpu1BzlykYOK62MxihcmD9URjo7bAZ_iWAnl6yq27LD17hUkoVvCfHav3KEBGkCl06sKrUJbA/s1600-h/the-wire.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpJuy3EaqnWz8SFTNGodwyGFmj4hwN_xildhYNxnvm9Tjm4bqBNy3DcbibH3E2lpu1BzlykYOK62MxihcmD9URjo7bAZ_iWAnl6yq27LD17hUkoVvCfHav3KEBGkCl06sKrUJbA/s400/the-wire.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358463949191916194" /></a><br /><br />The Wire. I heard it was fantastic when it first started. Then my friend Jen rented it just before she moved to Colorado. She left it with me to watch on the condition that I return it for her. I'm totally addicted.

I'm sure they'll outgrow their pots in no time.bgelderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271963151425195663noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13198677.post-85700214163436159352009-07-07T18:13:00.003-05:002009-07-07T18:15:39.667-05:00market flowers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSHp6l0S922H282Q8OHFUy4KdBJjkXq5WbRkgLxi7O4St9LdC_yEmOOyYvUXWvwotdK0HB-HCG9uNl8S445qTHhB7QdqezlimYGIlvOxK2sOLSrwcG_aKfvgGdtlcIPbQF3FT58Q/s1600-h/wr-1.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSHp6l0S922H282Q8OHFUy4KdBJjkXq5WbRkgLxi7O4St9LdC_yEmOOyYvUXWvwotdK0HB-HCG9uNl8S445qTHhB7QdqezlimYGIlvOxK2sOLSrwcG_aKfvgGdtlcIPbQF3FT58Q/s400/wr-1.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355860751586791922" /></a><br /><br /><br />My new favorite thing to do is go down to the Market on a Monday or a Friday after work and get a nice big bunch of flowers.

These posters have just gone up all around Seattle. Wyeth is an American artist and one of my favorites to see in a collection at a museum. Modern art museums have a ton of abstract work in their collections. For me, Wyeth has always been a nice break from that. My favorite piece "Christina's World" by him is pictured below.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYbgLjbaaHfNavI2s0uPK64IbuSEMCXv6RYVPYpOyjxsiF20Rqjo30sTUGSirfy0Qb32VEfg26Xxcv6bhGlhhvcgzRHHGzRDagTWH5evf-oDFDREKWTB7bPfFeGmpt_YAqeTRgFw/s1600-h/cw_wyeth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYbgLjbaaHfNavI2s0uPK64IbuSEMCXv6RYVPYpOyjxsiF20Rqjo30sTUGSirfy0Qb32VEfg26Xxcv6bhGlhhvcgzRHHGzRDagTWH5evf-oDFDREKWTB7bPfFeGmpt_YAqeTRgFw/s400/cw_wyeth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353937720968125394" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/exhibit/exhibitDetail.asp?eventID=16528">Seattle Art Museum</a> has just hung a small exhibition of some of his finest paintings.

I'm not sure if my favorite is among the paintings, but I've seen it before at MOMA in NYC.

I created this design for a baby onesie for baby Amira (my cousin Laura's new little girl, who I got to meet last weekend) and baby Josiah (my friend Lizzie and Josiah's new son). I used silver ink and printed them on black. They were a big hit with the Braddocks when I gave it to them on Saturday. I sent one to Lizzie and Jo last week.

You can view them here <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rrgelder/sets/72157614286505142/">flickr</a>, I haven't captioned all of them, but you'll get the idea.<br /><br />Tomorrow night Missy, Rachel and I are going to Andrew Bird. I seriously can't wait. Just this weekend I've been listening to Armchair Apocrypha more in depth. I so in love with it. I also can't stop listening to "People Got Lotta Nerve" off the new Neko Case album and a song called "Not Fair" off Lily Allen's new album. I know they are soooo different but I love them equally.<br /><br />Thursday night I am volunteering for the <a href="http://www.seattleshow.org/index.html">AIGA show</a> here in Seattle. I'm new to the scene so it will be fun seeing how another creative club organizes and what their dynamic is like. I wonder if I'll be thinking..."that woman is the Libby Bender of Seattle or that guy is the John Amatucci of the Northwest...". I was once an outsider in Tulsa and found my home with ADCT pretty quickly. I know the formula (volunteer for everything until they depend on you) so I bet I can do it again.bgelderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271963151425195663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13198677.post-7481179382501544422009-02-06T14:44:00.003-06:002009-02-06T17:24:02.866-06:00Broken Social Scene<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="298" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=67090" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"> <param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=c502465157&photo_id=3257655427&show_info_box=true"></param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=67090"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=67090" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=c502465157&photo_id=3257655427&flickr_show_info_box=true" height="298" width="400"></embed></object><br />I got to see one of my favorite bands last night. <a href="http://brokensocialscene.ca/">Broken Social Scene</a> is a larger band then I thought. In this instance, like with alot of bands I listen to, I had no idea what they looked like before the concert. These Canadians were older then I thought they were. <br /><br />The concert was at Showbox Sodo and was sold out. I've been to this venue once before to see The Kooks. I have to say the acoustics totally stink and the layout sucks even more. But unlike my previous experience, I really loved it this time. Maybe it was the band. They were very talkative, commented about our new presidential success, and even gave advice about curfews. Overall they were in a great mood and totally rocked. They played all my favorite songs including "Anthem for a Sixteen Year Old Girl", "Stars and Sons" and "Looks Just Like The Sun". They had Lisa Lobsinger as the female singer. Many women have taken turns with the band including Lesile Feist (Feist), Emily Haines (Metric) and Amy Milan(Stars).<br /><br />So I tried using my new Flip to record a few songs. It was really easy to keep pretty steady, I just couldn't dance. But, tall people kept getting in the way :(bgelderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271963151425195663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13198677.post-13889773240944755802009-02-05T18:17:00.001-06:002009-02-05T18:18:39.832-06:00First Flip Video<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="298" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=67090" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"> <param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=3c953b4ed4&photo_id=3254565223"></param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=67090"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=67090" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=3c953b4ed4&photo_id=3254565223" height="298" width="400"></embed></object><br />I took this on my way to work the other day...I hope to post little videos on here more often.

It's called a <a href="http://www.theflip.com/index.shtml">Flip</a> and its a really light weight and easy to use camcorder for sharing video on the internet. I've played around with it just a little. First thing I noticed is that I love how well it performs in low light. But I DO NOT like the software that comes with it. It is a POS and very pro AOL. Who even uses AOL anymore, that's what I want to know. I don't even see those cheesy cds in the mail anymore. Why? Because who in the world still uses dial up? <br /><br />Anyway. Back on the subject. I'm going to test it tonight at the concert I'm going to, Broken Social Scene, here in Seattle. I hope that it does better then my little Nikon S2. I got that little Nikon from John 3 years ago. It's so out of date, but the little guys been a trooper. hasn't ever given me any issues.
