Slept

1. Took some really good photos yesterday - the sort of pics that make me wish I could take pics every day of the week. Every week of the year. Every year for the rest of my life. Damn.

2. This Sunday: Muddy Buddy. Richmond. Hopefully there will be groovy photos.

3. Apparently Louisiana republican (and “family values”) Senator David Vitter hasn’t been seen since his name was linked to a DC prostitution ring earlier this week. Where is he? Or more pointedly, where is the member of congress’ member? According to the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank…

Rumors spread that the senator, present on the Senate floor Monday evening, had fled to the Big Easy — but his aides ignored phone calls and e-mails throughout the day inquiring about the senator’s whereabouts.

In Vitter’s defense, he has more than his political future to worry about right now; he could lose his manhood.

His wife, Wendy, told Newhouse News Service in 2000 that if her husband cheated on her, she would react less like Hillary Clinton and more like the Manassas woman who cut off her sleeping husband’s penis in 1993. “I’m a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary,” Wendy Vitter said. “If he does something like that, I’m walking away with one thing, and it’s not alimony, trust me. I think fear is a very good motivating factor in a marriage.”

As always, it’s reassuring to know that we can rely on the republican party to keep “traditional marriage” alive and well.

Come to you
As you sleep
I’m gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me”

-Radiohead, “Go To Sleep”

4. A somewhat nicely made bed in an abandoned motel. With thanks to my supercool model Jessica.
