Cirque Memories...  
'Nother new LJ header! Same theme, different flavor. I hadn't noticed til yesterday that I got Tink really clearly in this pic, so now it's in my absolute favorites category.

I got all sappy and sentimental tonight, and busted out my Cirque cast and crew DVD... oh, so many good times, so many stories I'd totally forgotten about... I managed to get a few memorable frame grabs. I skipped most of the ones that just didn't lend themselves to stills (a lot of the falls and faceplants you really just gotta see in video), so this is a bit limited. (And no, for those of us chatting Monday night, I did not include that opening scene I mentioned... :P)

Mmmmmmmmm!! Dead bird!!! XD

Who is THAT? ;) (For the record, I ran up the stairs at the end of poles and found a camera in my face, so it's a bit of an awkward/surprised smile! :P)

TEH CHAIR!!!! One of the best jokes of the summer, IMHO.

That is one CLOSE call... I was sitting right in front of him when that one happened - the look on his face afterward was priceless!

I know. Big file. But dear lord, you really gotta see it in motion to get the full effect... I gotta give him mad props for snagging the harness with his knee!

OMG TEH WINNAR!! The bikini top show owns my soul. Him getting thrown off the PWC moments later made it that much better...

There's also video of the performer who fell off the swing ([info]tooshort4myego, channel 13! 13! ;)), one who did't quite make it onto the swing, and plenty of amusing faceplants and near-faceplants. But I'll let you all wonder about all those... ;)

Good times, good times...

oh my god, that was one of the best summers ever! and now I know to always be on the right channel in a medical emergency. Hey, you live, you learn, and Nate didn't die, so my mistake didn't change anything in the long run.
Kirsten: Liz - Oh Noes[info]xfkirsten on December 14th, 2005 09:45 pm (UTC)
Nate "didn't die"d a lot, actually. LOL The close call on poles up there is him, too (and that was right after Jason broke his nose when he did the exact same thing), and of course that's Nate doing bungee...

LOL, this is sooo random.
Kirsten: Liz - Eat That[info]xfkirsten on December 14th, 2005 09:47 pm (UTC)
It is. Hell, everything that happened over the summer at Cirque felt random, but in a damn funny way. XD
BreezieGirl[info]bleach226 on December 14th, 2005 04:10 pm (UTC)
Haha! I give that guy mad props for catching the harness too, dude. Also, *love* the new header. But we know by now about my soft spot for Remember, yeah? :)
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on December 14th, 2005 09:48 pm (UTC)
At least the tide was in - I think if he did fall, it would be deep enough that the worst he'd get was probably a nasty, stinging slap when he hit the water and some residual sorenress later... but still! :P

Remember just works its way under your skin... ;)
BreezieGirl[info]bleach226 on December 14th, 2005 10:08 pm (UTC)
It more than works its way under your skin, it works a way into your being. You don't remember life before Remember. Have I mentioned your Remember pictures are gorgeous recently? And that the shots with Tink are AMAZING... I have blurred green spots. Bad 3x optical/10x digital zoom.

[info]bleach226 then apologized to her lovely camera for being mean and insulting... I know I know, it's not just you, it's me and probably not having it on the right shutter speed. I can be a lil mean though, I mean you spazzed out the other day and deleted 31 pictures/videos.
The Duuuuuuude[info]dcpesses on December 14th, 2005 10:27 pm (UTC)
Your camera passed me a private note she didn't want you to see:
    That gal, sheesh. She abuses me all the time, you think I'm gonna perform perfectly for her? Dropping me on tile floors and cement stairs, what does she think I am, a Timex? NO!

    Sigh, but I guess I'll keep on ticking, because she feeds me batteries and wipes the gunk off my lenses (though not often enough). Now if only I could convince her to get me that telephoto lens, maybe she'll take better care of me.
I think your camera has some issues it needs to work out. :)

(BTW, I never knew your camera could write so articulately, let alone convey its thoughts.)
BreezieGirl[info]bleach226 on December 14th, 2005 10:48 pm (UTC)
[info]bleach226 reads the note and cries. But I love you camera! You know I do! I bought you that fun little tripod and you have two set of rechargeable batteries. And a pretty little case that I always keep you safe in and that nice cloth made just for your lens and LCD screen. I'll work on that telephoto lens, I don't know if they make one for your model though...

(BTW, that was *hilarious*)
The Duuuuuuude: Pinky[info]dcpesses on December 15th, 2005 03:44 am (UTC)
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night...

What kind of camera do you have?
BreezieGirl[info]bleach226 on December 15th, 2005 04:44 am (UTC)
Canon Powershot A75, it's a good camera, but it's not spectacular. I've gotten some good pictures with it though... and I love it. :) I've taken over 10,000 pictures with it in the last year.
The Duuuuuuude: Memes[info]dcpesses on December 15th, 2005 05:34 am (UTC)
Perfect! I (and Kirsten) got the model preceeding that one, the Powershot A70, and both models use the same lenses. That said, you need to get the lens adapter ring so you can screw on additional lenses. From there you can get that telephoto lens your camera was whining about.

Or you could beg Kirsten to borrow hers. ;)
BreezieGirl[info]bleach226 on December 15th, 2005 01:19 pm (UTC)
Ooh exciting! Thanks! ::wondersifitstoolatetowritesanta::
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on December 14th, 2005 11:43 pm (UTC)
Thank you! *blushes* I tend to only get blur for Tink, too, that's why I spazzed when I noticed her in this photo! I don't have a tripod, so it's hard to get really steady shots.

Deleted 31 photos?! *waggles finger at it* No! Bad camera!
BreezieGirl[info]bleach226 on December 15th, 2005 01:17 am (UTC)
I have a little tripod, well, semi-little. It's light-weight and compacts into 9 inches and expands to 42 inches. I love it. I think it may have gotten bent a lil though, cus I feel that things have been a lil crooked the last couple times I used it. But yeah, with or without a tripod, that's an amazing photo, because even if the camera was perfectly still, Tink's not, so that's impressive.

Yeah, 31. Lost all of my Sinter Klaas pictures. :( I was so sad.

Header so pretty, must...go...now... *shakes it off*
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on December 14th, 2005 09:49 pm (UTC)
Give in to the Rememeber! *evil laugh*
The Duuuuuuude: Stewie[info]dcpesses on December 14th, 2005 10:07 pm (UTC)
Give in? Never! Your inoccuous words have no effect on me!
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on December 14th, 2005 11:36 pm (UTC)
*starts playing Remember* :D
BreezieGirl[info]bleach226 on December 15th, 2005 01:18 am (UTC)
Hee! I did this earlier and then I made wallpapers. :)

Stupid papers due tomorrow causing me to procrastinate...
Kerry[info]iago_90 on December 15th, 2005 01:39 am (UTC)
maybe its just me but that smile of yours looks similar to when I pulled the video camera on you when we were in line for the matterhorn and my camra was being a butthead so I was taking film of random things and it landed on you . . . come to think of it I believe still have the shot somewhere in the tape lol
Kirsten: Liz - Oh Noes[info]xfkirsten on December 15th, 2005 04:28 am (UTC)
LMAO!! Random moments that are better left unrecorded... ;) Last weekend, [info]kasatka got a photo of me like that when she was testing out her camera when I wasn't paying attenion - quite possibly the most unflattering phtoo of me ever. :P
almandot[info]almandot on December 15th, 2005 04:11 am (UTC)
Watched through episode 5..but man... will no sci-fi series show poor Robert Patrick some love?... feel like passing out but work's not until 10 tomorrow so i'll keep watching a few more ;)
Kirsten: Liz - Eat That[info]xfkirsten on December 15th, 2005 04:30 am (UTC)
Nope, no love for Robert Patrick. He shall forever pay for replacing Mulder on The X-Files. :P

The show's addicting... and you haven't even gotten to the episode yet that really hooked me on the series for good... :P
