I Catch Up With My Senses
I'm not going to do NaNoWriMo (the novel one). It would be too much and amount to a typing contest and I would make myself crazy because I'm just the kind of person to make myself crazy over some self-imposed radical discipline. I made this decision during my Illustrator class when I realized that I have only the faintest hint of a clue what's going on and need to go back and review the homework and should be using my spare time to learn this program.
I felt so good about this decision that I celebrated by going to see The Prestige the first movie I've seen on big screen in months. It's one of those movies that the less you know going in, the better, so I'm not going to say much except: I enjoyed it a great deal and would love to talk about it so if someone I know could go see it, that would be grand.
I've also decided that I'm going to buy a new camera and use the broken one as a special effects camera. The above was taken this afternoon as I pointed my camera straight into the shiny sky. I've done some very preliminary research and things aren't set up so that one can purchase a camera based on the handful of memory cards plus card reader that one already owns. That's my main criteria at this point. I'm looking for something on the low end because I like to carry it everywhere which means it bounces around in my purse and backpack and the car.
I'm not sure what my next step is. Maybe a trip to Costco. I can't figure it all out right now.
