Hot bath, long sleep, whatever was slamming me last night seems to have calmed down a lot. Thank goodness. I’ve got supper ready to go - pre cooked what I was able to and prepped the rest.
Then I relaxed and watched “Whip It” with the family :)
Well shit on a stick - it appears that I’m getting sick. Horrid timing - my sister and her boyfriend are coming for dinner tomorrow then for the next month I’m on the 6am shift. Wonder if the guy on the noon shift will trade with me for a week.
All I want to do is go to bed - I think I may.
On the plus side, I have a Holga 120 coming. I’ll dream of it when i’m sleeping...
Today, in my brilliance I chose not only to go and do groceries at Costco on a Saturday but once I FINALLY made it through the line ups there, instead of going to the small grocery store in my community to pick up odds and ends, I felt the need to go to the Super Wal-Mart.
The New one. The first of its kind in a city of 1 million people. On opening weekend.
I am an idiot.
I’ve been enjoying my foray back into film so much I’m feeling the urge to have more fun with it.
For y’all wiser than me about such things, what’s the difference/preference between Holga and Diana/Lomo? Is there one or is that like asking about the differences between Canon and Nikon?
I don’t want one that that’ll take 35mm - what’s the point? Going...
Yay! My month of working noon-8pm is over. Semi-booo that I work 6am-2pm next month. Sure, getting off work at 2pm is freaking awesome, but man, when you tend to go to sleep between 2 and 3 am that getting up at six is horrid ;)
I’ve had my new radio remotes and umbrellas for almost a week now and I’ve only played with them for about an hour. I’m hoping for more “play...
If God wanted me to go to sleep, he would switch...

Bah, I’ve never been a sleeper. In the 70’s books kept me awake. In the 80’s it was TV. In the late 80’s/early 90’s it was that solitude that I had when the kids were in bed and the house was quiet, and from the mid 90’s on the Internet has been the bane of my sleeping like normal folks.
It’s always something…
I'm turning 25 in 17 days.
brain-food:
all the fanfare that came with birthdays died in my house after I turned 16 when I wished on every single candle lit that I would grow boobs, and come the next morning still have to put on my training bra. Needless to say, my birthday present came 4 years late and during sophomore year of college. I could have used those breasts back in prom night, thanks genetics.
Now with the eve...
Where Does Downloadable Content Go When Hardware...
nerdology:
Rumors are flying about the DS2, the forthcoming handheld from Nintendo. From Satoru Iwata confirming, and then denying comments about a new handheld to EEDAR (Electronics Entertainment Design and Research) predicting that it will be announced and released this calendar year. This poses an interesting dilema for those who want to upgrade to a DS2 and currently own a DSi chock full...
NOW a rant!
borgomani:
I called the airline just now to ASK (as if that should even be a question to be asked) if they would charge extra to board my wheelchair. I had to wait 20 minutes in line because the lovely operator could not answer me promptly whether I’d have to pay for it or not, and she asks me what model of wheelchair I drive (I love to say that I drive it). Now my rant: DO YOU ASK PEOPLE TO...
YAY!
My new toys are here :)
Two more light stands, two umbrellas, and four wireless flash remotes Now I just need to find the energy/time to play with them :( these darned shifts until 8pm suck that way.
The one day I decide on a whim to go into the office and an entire block in Chinatown is in flames (our office is in Chinatown). Luckily, I was at the office 2 hours early AND had my camera with me. Just wish I’d had my 200mm lens though :(
I applied for a job at the International Spy...

If they decide that they want me, I swear on my life, I will dress up like James Bond every single day I have to work and talk like Sean Connery. It’s the only way for me to fully do my job correctly and effectively.
I LOVE THAT PLACE!!! My husband and I had this on the list of “must see’s” when we were there for the March in October.
He’s 50, I’m...
A person might think twice about writing a suicide...

This really made me smile - and I’m not 100% certain that’s the proper reaction..?
I'm 6'2 and 179lbs.
brain-food:
Granted my breasts may count for 1/2 that weight but, I am completely, utterly and honestly fine with those numbers. But as confident as I stand, and how many people I tell, for some reason, they still feel the need to say “you’ll look and feel so much better kc if you lost some weight.”
Look bitch, I feel like my little pony tales and the power rangers all in one with the size that...
I get bothered by the "next / back" arrows.
cameronchristopher:
Other than the fact that “next” usually means “back in time”, what I find most confusing is that if I were reading a book I would go to the right to continue. Because we are asking to go back through someone’s tumblr, chronologically, the next page of information is accessed by an arrow pointing to the left.
YES! +1
I always have to mouse over them to see the URL to see...
Aaaaaand Cue Delayed Flight.
luckyshirt:
Pushed back an hour and a half.
The flight before mine was cancelled.
I told you guys.
I’m waiting for it to rain frogs now.
I am the queen of delayed flights. My best was the time we were flying home from San Diego to Calgary via San Francisco.
Our flight in San Diego borded on time, was in line for take off, was in that engine raring phase of pre take off when we shut down...
Oh my!
I just got back from the camera store. I sent in my first roll of SLR film to be developed since 1983. I was expecting a lot of crappy shots; it’s basically like starting over again. I figured I’d look at the garbage, see what I did wrong, and move forward from here - it’s just my first roll, right?
However, I am quite pleased with the results!! They’re not...
