Saturday's thoughts

[thedarkproject]

It transpires that having a hangover brings back some of those nerve pain symptoms I get on my head. Ouchie. All gone now though. And to those who would argue that this is just telling me to not drink so much - yeah, you're right. It took me about 10 minutes of thinking this morning before I could work out how I even got home. I was worried for a while that someone had escorted me back. I remember cutting short a conversation with Holly because I was too incoherent to think properly (sorry!) and sending a blank text message to Lisa because I couldn't work my phone effectively. Aaargh.

A man with long hair has moved into one of the other flats in the house. He even has a very similar coat to me. This is, of course, no good. I may have to dye my hair purple to maintain my uniqueness.

In other house news, I rather bizarrely happened across the video weblog of a guy who used to live in the flat adjacent to mine. It isn't very interesting, mostly him talking about how unfunny he is, and how his hair gel burns like a candle when you set fire to it, and how he got sent a keyboard rather than a webcam when he ordered it. This somewhat mundane and indeed unremarkable-looking man had a quite attractive girlfriend though, so how does that work? There's no justice in the world.

I went to town to buy a new camera today, and ran into Belgian Rich, a person I've not seen for maybe 6 months or more. Unfortunately, even just saying hello and goodbye were arduous tasks. I am finding it harder and harder to string coherent sentences together, often trying to say 2 synonyms simultaneously and ending up sounding like a moron. It's not much fun.

Anyway, I did get the Canon IXUS 80 IS since it seems to meet most of my criteria. (Thanks to Richard, Spike, Holly, and everybody else who posted advice of some sort.) However, I did pay £30 more than I needed to because the cheaper shop only had the pink model. Was this a mad decision on my part? Vain? I don't know.

Tonight, I'm off to Leeds with several friends and acquaintances to heckle Spike as he DJs 'metal' at the WendyHouse. It should be good to get out of Nottingham for a change, and it's been almost 5 years since I was last in Leeds.

'This somewhat mundane and indeed unremarkable-looking man had a quite attractive girlfriend though, so how does that work?'

My guess is an embarrassing medical condition she only wants one person to know about. Have fun in Leeds; I've heard mixed reports on the Wendy House and yet I'm on a promise to attend myself this summer, so I'll be interested to read your thoughts.

A) They're letting you back into Leeds after last time?
B) Pink would be more your colour.
C) also the pink Camera would be more your colour :P
D) Face facts your an incoherent drunken wreck... welcome to my world.
E) You haven't posted the video weblog of the guy who used to live in the flat adjacent to yours because...?
F) Holly won't mind as she'd only just stopped throwing up and dared to face eating anything when Danni and I turned up at 14:30.
G) Look how far I can remember the alphabet!!!
H) (wow I'm on a roll!) Have fun at the WendyHouse.

Good to know I can always rely on you to broadcast my every embarrassing incident to the internet world! ;)

I have an Ixus i5 and I think it does well for a tiny camera without optical zoom. My main complaint is that the lens does not really handle photographing subjects unless they are just up against the camera. Far away landscape is good, and the macro setting on it is pretty good as well. Here are two images I have taken with the macro setting: Araneus diadematus, Empetrum nigrum.

I see your purchase has some optical zoom, and that's good in my opinion.

If you dye your hair purple, I wanna see!!!

Come to think of it, I want to see anyway :)

You should dye your hair elecric blue! That'd look wicked! And I bet the long-haired black-coated man doesn't have a pink camera - see that could have been your USP!
