le weekend
This weekend was filled with many tiny adventures. We never really got around to making plans to do something extravagant so we just did a bunch of things. Mostly I was glad to have the extra day to let my mind breath and clarify some things for myself. Worked on a few little projects and spent too much money on odds and ends.
I haven’t been taking many photos lately and was happy to get lost taking these flower shots around town.
camping
Sometimes, when you can’t get out of town, you can still go camping..and bring the cats along.
Hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend.

Dr. Kleinenensteinen Deleted Scene from Shawn Bannon on Vimeo.
Why hello dear readers. I’ve been strangely absent from the internet recently. The past few weeks have been painfully busy (at work, how boring) and I’ve needed every free moment for mental recovery rather than fun things like blogging.
As a peace offering, or a special treat, I offer you this lovely video made long ago by my dear husband. It’s a deleted scene from Dr. Kleinenensteinen, a film he made (that I’m hoping he’ll share with the world someday) way back when before we knew each other.
Sometime soon, when I get around to giving a little tour of our home, you’ll see bits and pieces from this project all around. We live in fantasy land.
Hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend filled with end of summer goodness.

I wish I could post this video and say that I think it is utterly awesome, instead, I find that I’m sort of embarrassed. Oh well. I guess that’s why photos are more exciting than video sometimes. In any case, despite my embarrassment, I’m still pretty pleased with how this little thing came together. I honestly can’t wait to learn more.
At least I crossed one thing off my summer fun list.
Next week we’ll be back to our regular non-circus posts. 😉
p.s. Would you like to see more videos here on Cute and Delicious? Just curious.

So, I made it through my aerial silk performance this weekend. Holy jeeze did I get nervous. I’m not even sure why, but before I performed, I could feel that warm rush of anticipation over the back of my neck. It’s odd how an audience can do that to you.
My nerves made me rush through things a bit faster than I would have liked, but overall it went pretty well. Not bad for a first performance. I think I promised a video to you all, and there is one, but I need a moment to get over how embarrassing parts of it are. In the mean time, I’ll just share the snap shots my mom took.
The rest of our weekend was relaxing and refreshing. Besides the performance, and Shawn getting new glasses, we didn’t have a ton of plans, which is rare. It was nice to wake up Saturday morning not worrying about a list of things that had to get done or places we had to be. I am realizing that I need to balance my time better as I tend to overfill free time with projects.
In the past week we’ve also watched a ton of home videos from Shawn’s childhood and a few of my own. It definitely inspired us to make an effort to record more home movies. While we often record events or film projects, it’s unusual that we just record ourselves. It’s really nice to be able to look back, years down the line, and see what things were like in a particular fragment of time. Even if they’re really really really embarrassing. Which they usually are.
