I was sitting around cruising the internet the other day, when I realized I've been meaning to purchase some camera armor for my XTi. I'd been putting it off for a while under the guise that it's stupidly overpriced ($40-50) and once there are a couple newer models out, it'd get cheaper. Fortunately that was the case. I picked up this bad boy:

Now that this month is more or less over, and now that I've actually got something to report on, it's time for a 101 in 1001 progress post! Here's a link to the full list, in case you're curious.

2. Buy backpacking gear and solid hiking boots. Go on frequent hikes.Dustin's hiking boots should be in any day now, and after something of an exodus ( Read more... )

I decided to attempt to make my own protective wraps for my camera/lenses last night. I bought reeeeally soft turquoise fabric, velcro, pins, thread, and some needles, thinking I'd hand sew them. How hard could it be, right ( Read more... )

During my RSS feed frenzy a couple months ago, I added Psychology Today to my feed list, as I'm still very interested in psychology. Today they posted this article about maintaining personal space in a relationship, and man. They hit the nail right on the head. I couldn't agree more. Here's an excerpt:

Oh man, I just had an "OH SHI-" moment ( Read more... )

I've been re-discovering my closet anime interest lately. Youtube is wonderful when you're too impatient to download an entire series. I FINALLY finished watching Chobits, I watched all of Princess Tutu (which was an EXCELLENT series, despite the cheesy name), and now I'm watching Full Moon wo Sagashite and Rozen Maiden, because my life NEEDED MOAR ( Read more... )

It's nice to have a bit of spending money in my wallet. It's been a long time.

To celebrate, I went shopping!

I walked away with:
4 American Eagle shirts for $32
1 Volcom shirt for $10
1 pair AE shorts for $13
1 pair AE capri-type pants for $10
1 1.7 ounce bottle of Fantasy (Britney Spears' Cupcake batter scented perfume) for $20 ( Read more... )

Lol, this song makes me think of Little Miss Sunshine. Great film.

Goals:
+ Deposit the remainder of my cash once my new bank account is totally set up.
+ Make Super Crazy Mad Money this weekend, and deposit that too, along with Paycheck.
+ Pay off 70% of laptop before bill is due. And the whole car payment thing.
+ Sport new seatbelt bag as soon ( Read more... )

Maybe this means I'll be able to leech off of other peoples' connections be online more frequently.

I have a metric shit ton of photos to upload. Maybe someday I'll jump on that.
