Hello there. Well, I got

Hello there. Well, I got the film back from the photolab. Things look good for tomorrow, I should have lots to print. I didn’t get the infared film developed though, but I will on Monday, the lab I went to couldn’t do it. Anyway, tonight Lauren and I will be doing a bit of dancing, should be fun. Then some well needed sleep. I think both of us are over-tired and stressed out.

This is random, but incase you ever need to do something interesting with potatos, check this out.

Also, I’ve just join PayPal. Why? Well, because I figured I’d like to give something back to you guys, but I’m too cheap to get it myself. That, and you’re helping me out so that I can become a better photographer by getting better equipment. So, every month, I’ll have a new nifty item to give as a reward to whoever donates the most. A little “I’ll scratch you back if you’ll scratch mine”. Some basics though: The total amount donated every month would have to be more than the prize itself… let’s say a minimum of $15, total. Second, I don’t mind shipping things over seas, but if the shipping cost is to high, you may just get a nifty digital version of something instead of a t-shirt or a cd. Those are too bad are they? Anyway, I’ll finish setting that up this weekend. Right now it’s dinner time. Later.

Well, the photo shoot went

Well, the photo shoot went well last night. I finished off 4 rolls of 36. Which, if anyone is doing the math, is 144 pictures. Hopefully they’ll be 6 out of those that I’d like to print. As for the plan today, I’m going to head downtown this afternoon to take pictures for Lauren for an assignment she has, then probably head over to the Bursars Office to do my weekly yelling and screaming. After that I’ll pick up the film I dropped off and head home to get something to eat. Later tonight there’s a dance thing that Lauren and I were planning on going to so tomorrow will be my big printing day. I’ll probably get up, go to the darkroom and not come out until it’s dark outside. Ah the life of a photographer. Ok, gotta run. Later.

Hey. It’s Thrusday again, which

Hey. It’s Thrusday again, which means that this week (month, year) is flying by. Tonight I’ve got a large photo shoot with Lauren which will probably take up a good portion of my evening. I’ve got 20 or so new ideas for interesting pictures I’d like to set up. Hopefully they’ll turn out well. This afternoon I’ve also got 3D class, which should be a breeze, I finished the project we’ll be working on and so I’ll probably get to start the next project early. I’ve I get ambitious I may finish it this weekend so I won’t be worrying about it next week. I’ve also got to do something about my money situation so that I have enough for supplies to finish my photo final.

This semester has been kinda weird in terms of work load, its been very speratic. I get tons of work on week, then nothing for the two weeks after. Odd. Either way, it all comes down to this and I hope everything turns out ok.

Lauren did a nifty thing last night and got me something to cheer me up a little. She got me an awesome chop-stick set and a stone lantern and tea-lights. My girlfriend rules. Not because she gets me stuff or cooks me dinner, but because she cares enough to try and cheer me up and make me feel better. Love ya honey!

Elsewhere, Jason got his car back, which is cool. The insurance company paid for all of the repair work, thinking it had something to do with it being stolen. They even paid for things that were obviously just wear and tear, like new spark plugs and a new battery. Cool.

Ok, time to get cleaned up and waste two hours in a class room. Later.

Well kids… I’m officially broke.

Well kids… I’m officially broke. Today I reached the limit of my credit card for the first time ever. You see, this wasn’t the original plan for how this semester would go. Originally, I was going to get a fat refund from my school loans and use it to pay off any supplies that I put on my credit card. So, the begining of the semester came and went, the loans were in “processing” and I was buying supplies with the good’ol Visa. Then, the loans didn’t work out, then the reapplication process startes, then the paperwork was messed up, etc etc. Point is, my credit card was supposed to be paid off a month ago and it never happened. So, today, trying to buy supplies for my final, it got denied. Great. So, I tapped into my always low bank account, bought some film and should be good to go. Problem with that is, I used money I was supposed to buy groceries with. So, I’ll starve but be able to make pretty pictures. Nifty.

Oi. But before all that, there was class. Color went ok, the critique was borring as usually but at least I had gotten my project done on time. Digital was the same and we have started working on the final in there, which, is also what I’m going to be shooting with the film I purcased. So, this weekend will be a shit load of work. Great. I hate finals. A lot. At least I don’t have it as bad as Jason, who, by tomorrow morning, has to have an 8 page paper done which he hasn’t started.

Oh well. Besides that, nothing much is going on. Everyone is cranking for finals, no time to play. I have a constant headache, which is probably stress induced but I dunno. Lauren is coming over tonight to make fagitas, so that’ll be tasty. After that I’ll probably watch some hockey and figure out how I’m going to go about setting up for a photo shoot with a budget of 0$. Wish me luck.

Current Mood: Stressed
