cerulean_sky• Because I forgot to mention it here, Author sign ups at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fantasybigbang end tomorrow at 12pm PST. If you were thinking about signing up and haven't head on over here and sign up! If you were thinking about signing up but don't have time right now, there will most likely be a second round sometime during my winter break (probably in January) so you'll have a chance then! Thanks for helping me out with this Big Bang, guys!
• I thought seriously about organizing all my tags today. And then I started looking at the sheer number of them, and my mind sort of went, "Oh hell no." I missed my chance, somewhere about 2 years ago. Fuck. I'll never be able to get them organized, now.
• Going out to a thing tonight. A music thing. With my dad. Should be interesting. (And if it's not, well, I have a book with me.)
• I downloaded "A Study in Pink" the fist of the Sherlock (BBC) miniseries. Hopefully I will have time to watch it tonight. I have heard many awesome things about it, so I am looking forward to it being awesome. And the next one airs in... 2 days. So I won't have to wait long to get the next part. :D
• Now that my jeans have arrived, I am impatiently waiting for my posters and my necklace. I wants them. I wants them now.
• Also, as August is rapidly approaching, the date I can get a Blackberry is seeming much closer than before. I am excited. QWERTY keyboards ftw.

exrpan reminded me that I found a neat old camera in my closet the other day. It even has two lenses and a flash. It's teensy, though, which is neat. The whole bag, with the two lenses and the flash is about the size of a small-medium sized current camera case. It takes some sort of weird film, though. So I'll have to check out whether it can still be used. Should be an interesting adventure. I have no aspirations of becoming a photographer, but still. A neat old film camera would be fun to take around and take pics with.
Aaaand, work is closing so I am leaving!

on 2010-07-31 10:40 pm (UTC)I'm so relieved you said this. I have so many friends who claim to aspire to be a photographer without understanding at all what that means, and think that they're doing it just by carrying around some fancy equipment. It drives me NUTS. I always have to restrain myself from shaking their shoulders violently and saying "IF YOU CAN'T TAKE GOOD PICTURES WITH A POINT-AND-SHOOT, HAVING A FANCY SHMANCY CAMERA DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN YOU INTO A GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER."
That being said, you should totally play around with it. Film cameras are awesome. Though, I'm on the fence about whether to take my dad's old film SLR equipment because I KNOW once I start on the film route I will be addicted and spend ludicrous amounts of money. And I don't even have easy access to a darkroom, so it feels silly. But still...

on 2010-08-01 12:58 am (UTC)Since it still has some frames left, I'm going to take the rest of the pictures (I took one already) and then figure out how to get it out of the camera. It's certainly neat.
And I'm still trying to find film for it. It seems like a few places have some old rolls, but eventually there will be no more film for this camera if they aren't making anymore... :(
