Goonie Weekend?

Well, definitely a girly weekend. I stayed at Chester for a weekend for the first time since Orientation weekend, and it was pretty bipolar. Most of the time I was doing homework (which is so much easier in the dorms than it is at home). But Friday night I had a girly night with Christina - we read The Nanny Diaries and talked about hot celebrities; Saturday night I had a girly night with Jamie - we did makeup and nails and took pictures and later Alicia joined and we talked about hot celebrities; then last night I had a girly nigth with Serah, Christina, Jamie, and briefly Dan (although he was pretty uncomfortable) - Jamie brought her Body Shop stuff and we all tested it out. Last night was kind of a combo of the previous two.

The weekend here was okay, but I did miss some things about being home.

Shannon, you and me should have a girly night on Thursday! We can do girly things and watch Supernatural.

What an excellent day for...

... having to print photos and walk back down to the dorms without getting them wet. Hopefully this rain dies down a bit by 7:30.

So, funny story about taking the photos I'll be printing tonight. Not funny as in funny "ha-ha," but funny as in "duh."

I just got a new digital camera (thanks to Dad ordering it on-line and having it shipped here for me. What a good guy!). So I put the batteries in, insert the memory card, take a few test photos and the thing's amazing. Rather than taking the remaining photos I need for my assignment using the other camera, which is decent but just not quite up to par, I decide to use the new one.

I take 8 photos and the thing beeps at me. Memory card full!

Apparently it is not uncommon for most camera manufacturers or whomever to include a "sample" memory card to get you started, forcing you to go out and buy a larger memory card if you intend to do any picture taking that takes place more than 10 feet away from your computer.

Of course I'm in the middle of nowhere without a car or the time to run out to Best Buy or wherever to purchase this new memory card.

Well, the pictures I did get came out pretty good, I think. Won't know for sure until I tweak the color and tone in Photoshop, but we shall see.

And this has been yet another "blonde moment" brought to you by the Noel Show. Hope you enjoyed it!

Somebody's got a case of The Mondays...

Or, you know, the fact that it's rainy and cold and it's like everyone has disappeared. I have one class tonight that goes from 6 to 8:50 and I'm not liking the work I'm going to have to submit for it. These photos are definitely not my best, and I have no idea what went wrong in the execution of this project. I'm sure plenty of people will let me know when we critique this shit.

And, Britney Spears' VMA performance... absolutely nothing good about it. Bad outfit (although I disagree that she is "chunky". She's had 2 kids! If that's chunky then I must be a whale.) Terrible hair. She totally should have gone with a kickass short style rather than badly done and badly matched extensions. She didn't even try to sing or even try to match her lip syncing to the song, and she definitely was not into that dance routine. If she was excited about this performance she definitely didn't show it.

*Sigh* Happy Monday.
