12 of September 12

Per Chad Darnell's 12 of 12 Project:
"You take 12 pics of anything - on the 12th of each month. YOU own the rights to all of your pictures - they will not be sold into a coffee table book at the end of the year (though the concept IS mine). They can be of anything. The idea is HOW did YOU live the life YOU did on the 12th of that month. By checking all the links once they are compiled, you get to see how people lived the same day all over the world. The original concept was that there had to be at least one body part in the pic. That idea has slowly diminished. 12 pics."

This month's 'bonus pic' was to be a 'break'.

I wake up to my humming laptop as it downloads yet another BBC series.










Maxxxxx being lured, or actually chasing the camera into the shower. (In two parts.)














Posting a BRILLIANT commentary at my 'real' blog.
 












The view at lunch.













Post-lunch/pre-work out caffeine!










One 'warms up' by climbing these stairs to just GET to the gym!













Ugh.













Some shopping between the gym and the Mill Valley Film Fest press preview.










The reception at Dolby Labs before the Mill Valley Film Festival press conference.











The empty screening room, while everyone was still out in the reception.
 












I got home and tossed my press packets onto the bed, before uploading this month's "12 of 12".
 













And the 'bonus pic':

This month's 'bonus pic' was to be an 'homage'. Hmmm. Well, I don't have a bonus pic, however I do have something of an homage thrown in here.

I almost FORGOT that it was the 12TH!! So I got a late start. Around noon.














And out the door at approximately 12:30.













Brunch by 1:00!














Approaching my double feature at the Metreon, which included "Little Miss Sunshine" at 2:45 p.m.

















"Wandering" the hall at the Metreon between "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Scoop" at 4:45 p.m.













Meeting JimmyD and friends for dinner at 7:00 p.m.

















7:05 p.m.

















7:06 p.m.

















7:07 p.m.

















Walking to 'Home' for cocktails and dinner with the out of towners. 7:30 p.m.
















9:00 ish p.m. (I don't know WHY this is as whacked out as it IS! But...)













11:00 ish p.m. back at JimmyD's right before leaving the houseguests and coming home.

Ok, yes, I KNOW I missed the June 12th posting. Laptop HELL that month and I'm not going back! Here, however is my posting for July.

This month's 'bonus pick' was based on a word generator. (frankly, ugh!) My word was "Moments". ARGH!! Aren't they ALL moments?! Well, since I am visiting Atlanta this month, here goes...



















The interior of the Georgian Terrace!

This time, the bonus picture is a self-portrait. That's a 13th pic. Not required."

So, here are brief (and I apologize for the uninspired) snapshots of my day.

Out of focus and blurry, but if you COULD read it, it is an email from utini42 reminding me that it is "12 of 12 Day"!

Maxxxxx's breakfast

Lunch with Jimmy (you can see details here at HIS "12 of 12") and then an after lunch TREAT as See's!

Time to walk dogs at S.F. Animal Care and Control.

My favorite pooch of the day:Snowball!

The obligatory bathroom shot at SF Animal Care and Control.

Post-dog walking treat of gelato at Naia's on Castro Street, where
the bars were preparing for Mother's Day weekend, apparently.

I do return there, eventually, but first it is Opening Night of the SF DocFest at the Roxie Theatre in the Mission.

Yes, I do return to the Castro after DocFest. And why?

This should answer your question. An hour or so into the evening at the Midnight Sun. Ah, yes, a steady hand at the helm!

Not to fear, though. I sobered up at Marcello's Pizza and made it home, parking the car at 11:36 p.m.

The 'bonus shot' (taken after lunch with Jimmy and before heading to SF Animal Care and Control) of my self portrait.
