When penghuin and I were moving things in my room last night as he worked on my super spiffy lighting, I saw the gorgeous print of a photo that oceanstorme sent to me and realized that the thank-you post to her that I'd so carefully planned out was never actually written. I am an idiot.

oceanstorme, it is even more beautiful in person than it was on the screen, and I ( Read more... )

The email I received this morning:

Hi Jacqui ( Read more... )

I had a fantastic day yesterday. Three compliments on my hair before 7:00 was a great way to start. Work was fun and I got a lot done, so that felt good. And photography class was awesome! We had to bring in some of our pictures, and I got loads of really helpful advice on how I could have made the shots better as I was taking them and on how I ( Read more... )

OMG I rock the shepherd's pie. I made a bunch on Saturday and baked it in several small bowls so I could freeze most of it in single servings. Comfort food at the touch of a microwave button!

We talked about film photography and digital photography, and about the differences and similarities. We also spent quite a bit of time talking about equipment and software and file organization and stuff ( Read more... )

My phone evidently has mood management issues and was being contrary yesterday. I called my mom as I walked home from the bus stop and she said she'd call me right back. My phone is set on ring and vibrate, so it vibrates twice before the ringing starts, and trying to answer before the ring gets me nowhere. So I did the usual wait, wait, answer ( Read more... )

Well, perhaps not. But I am a student again. I've just registered and paid for my basic digital photography class, which starts next week. I am both nervous and excited about it ( Read more... )

So you know how I was so tired yesterday because I couldn't sleep Monday night? Yeah. I decided yesterday to be very careful about my caffeine intake, so I cut myself off after my one 7:30 am Diet Mountain Dew and stuck to water the rest of the day. I even chose to go without my hot chocolate, made with actual milk and cocoa powder, which has ( Read more... )
