I spent all of today designing a new layout for my site and it's going well; I just need to figure out the stupid Blogger-ness. I did it before, but those codes confuse me.
It is HERE with all the ugly Blogger tags still but I'm sure it'll sort itself out sooner enough.
My parents took my brother up to camp somewhere today so I had the whole house to myself for a couple of hours and it's been loovvveeellllyy. I can't wait until I get my digital camera. My dad and I were looking at some really really nice ones the other day.
Yeah, yesterday we had to go out to Scarborough or something to drop my brother at his violin teacher's house and then we just kind of hung around there all day so my mom and I went to Scarborough Towne Centre and my dad and Ryan went somewhere and my mother probably went into every single shoe store. I hope I don't become one of those old ladies that do nothing except shop for shoes when I'm older. I mean, there's nothing wrong with buying shoes I guess. It's just such a old person thing to do. Eh, well it wasn't all so bad - everything was on sale.
There are so many people I want to do stuff with next week. Or at least sometime soon. My mom has Monday off and I told Stef I'd do something with her then but I need to drop by Woodlands too and I still need a SKIRT. I've been to the mall twice in the past week and I really really don't want to go again anytime soon. My friends were never on the radio, by the way. Their promotions lady messed up apparently, so I was cranky because I woke up early (7 in the morning!) and listened while lying in bed for two hours for nothing.
So last week on Canada's Day a bunch of us went to the Civic Centre where they always have all the Canada's Day stuff going on and the library was having this book sale, and I bought a book called Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner (I'll lend it to you after I read it Caro) and The Miracle of Language by Richard Lederer which both seem like equally interesting books. And this other anthology called No More Masterpieces. Be cool, stay in school.
And I hate writing when the radio's on. I can't concentrate properly.
I feel like eating some Greek food. Greek food makes me happy. And yeaaah my brother = at camp all this week. It should be interesting. OHHHH yes yes on Friday my family went downtown to watched that musical Hairspray, and it was great. I remember them doing auditions for it back when they were...still doing auditions for it. Yeah, that would make sense. The lead in the musical was on American Idol and the whole thing was just really well done. It's set in Baltimore in the early 1960s and it touches on segregation and those dancing teen shows (in this case, Corny Collins, who bears a remarkable resemblence to Conan O'Brien). I always thought musical theatre would be such a cool thing to get into. But I feel that way everytime I go to watch one of those stupid musical shows. Like at the Sound of Music, or the Lion King.
I've begun to look into photojournalism as a career - one of my starving artist career choices. All of my career interests ever since I'd had career interests would have made me poor and I don't think it's going to stop now or anytime soon. Yeah, I think it would be pretty great to be a photographer for an extreme sport like snowboarding or skateboarding or something. I was looking at a TWS magazine the other day and the angles and lenses in some of those pictures are amazing. I love how the shots with fisheye lenses look and a career like that would be so exciting.
Fisheye lenses!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I have this Todd Richards poster in my room too and he's going off this jump and it's such a great picture. I don't know. Being a photographer for snowboarders would make me awfully jealous because I'm still working on my grabs whereas they're looking completely gorgeous doing their 720s - and it'd be cold. I think. We'll see.
And now it's raining.
Very hard.
