Day 357- It's 40 degrees out. Naturally.

Friday, April 09, 2010

It's 40 degrees out. It was 85 the other day. Probably why I am sick again. I just got over the flu ad now I'm with a head cold. lol. R has been very sick with it, I assumed it was only time until he passed the demon on to me. The cold weather and rain at work probably did me in.

Tomorrow we have to go across state and pack/clean. We will have to drive back then depending if anyone is helping us, and so on.
We have a lot to do there. Ants have come back out too, which they did not take care of well..

By the way, we have spiders coming out of the tub drain..ideas on remedies for that please...I work at a marina in a park district so I am pretty accustomed to gross things with 8 legs and fins and so on, but I really dont like them being in my house.

Have I mentioned I dislike this weather...a lot? Winter/Fall is the worst time of year..death, rot, and freezing cold. I have to be careful at work- if people tip boats and so on I have to call emergency services and all that...frostbite and hypothermia...yippee.

So I'm a little under the weather, I didn't do my photo theme the way I had planned. Maybe some other day. But I did take 3 pics, all natural and no retouch.

I'm growing my hair out. It is at that awkward stage right now. I want to put some something in it, but I have to wait until we are financially stable again. I posted on craigslist to do portrait work at a phenominally cheap rate, but I really have NOT have ANYONE reply. I think it is SOOOO sooo weird. Even offering a CD with packages, with releases, with cheap rates...it's a rough crowd. My photography is up to par, too, and substancially more awesome than friggin' walmart, sears, jcpennys, or other poopy studio.

I am probably doing photos for a friend of mine soon of her family, don't know when yet. Also a fashion shoot for a trade I did, and then probably will grab some photos for another friend of her and her kid and whatever else she'd like. I like to do hers, we're good friends so I don't even think about charging that kind of stuff. It's what I would be expecting if my friends were photographers or something, so I try to be how I'd like others to be to me.

Life shouldn't be complicated when it comes to some things.

I am sort of stressing out still. Things are working out slowly...it's just the interim that is frustrating. I reenrolled in classes today since the school wrenched the diploma back out of my hands. I'm doing a portfolio class, a exhibition art course, and philosophy in technology and ethics or something like that. It's all online, which is a perk, at least.

I can't wait to get all moved in. I dont work too often until next month, so I want to take the time to get really organized and neat here, get everything straight and all that. Moving is a big pain in the butt. We did get a dishwasher, though.

Until tomorrow..must sleep now.

Countdown Day 358- Urban 2, Technology, Man-Made (pics)

Day 358: Urban 2, Technology, Man-Made (Pics)

Thursday, April 08, 2010

Three photos for today. A new one for urban, a technology pic, and a photo of a man-made thing.

I worked this morning at 7am- nothing too fantastic to speak of. It rained a lot, but I got most of my shift in before it started. I sprayed for bees. Which is totally exciting. With sarcasm. But I do hate bees, so I'm glad it was done.

Since then I've just been sittin' around. Mostly we watch tv and things. No work for R today, too sick and all that fun.

Gotta love this Ohio weather.

1) Technology: Inside of a rather wirey computer.

2) Urban- The captain got an upgrade. When I think urban, I think fashion..not street signs..(nintendo dsi cam)

2)

3) man-made: the lake is man-made. Thought that might be interesting. took on the DSi this mornin'.

3)

Tomorrow I'll be headed across state to pack up the house and get it cleaned up. Yippee. Nothing I like better than Findlay.
We are watching the scifi Alice series- I'm not diggin' wonderland.

The next 4 will be

natural

exotic

erotic

wholesome

but then I need more. So give me some ideas! Once I get going I'll try to do more than just one a day, so I'm going to need lots of concepts. Plus I like knowing who is here, so say hi :)

Day 359- Urban (pic)

Wednesday, April 07, 2010

Well I have to cheat a little. Today I didn't get home until 10pm after driving up and down state a few times, and I certainly dont have anything urban in my house. I do, however, have a few photos that I took a few weeks back.

Since I need to be up at 5:30ish tomorrow morning, I'll sadly show you these older ones instead. To make up for it, I'll do two of the themes tomorrow. I really don't -have- to do one a day, more like 365 in a year (so I could skip) but I like to keep it in habit. So hows this for a deal. I'll do a new urban again tomorrow-plus Technology. to keep on track. I hate to mess it up so early in the game, but sometimes time flies and you need some sleep. The minnows will be callin at 5:30 askin' where their ice is..

The next proposed themes are:

Urbana 2 (try again)

technology (for tomorrow)

man made (I have a wonderful idea for this, I might knock it out tomorrow too.)

natural

exotic

erotic

wholesome

Mostly I just was at work today. It has been warm and windy, not very ideal for fishing/boating. Tomorrow is supposed to thunderstorm- hope not because I really need to work...

Day 361 Countdown- Tree

Day 361 Countdown- Tree

Monday, April 05, 2010

Today was busy. Drove out to the post office to mail out a few hats. Got some groceries, called insurance to figure out my car stuff, talked to financial aid at school, and called a doc to help clear up my allergies. I picked up some Advair and it seems like it calmed my throat down already- pretty fast really.

Tomorrow I start work at the Marina. Kind of fun, but a little edgy about it since i'm coming off of a cold and managed to sunburn myself all over already. Supposed to be hot tomorrow, but then rain the rest of the week..that wont be good for work. Oh well, I will get through it.

Today I tried to do a stitch frame panorama sin tripod. This is my new tree outside. Not new I guess, but new to me.

Tomorrow is supposed to be anonymity- I have a decent idea for it, potentially cool. :) Then Urban of some form or another.

Checking comments for what comes after that.

Countdown- Day 364- Life

Day 364- Life

Friday, April 02, 2010

So starts the second day of the challenge.

Maybe I should say ends..it is kind of late in the evening.

Just ordered some pizzahut, I haven't eaten all day. I had the flu all week, so I'm recovering. My fiance and I went out and I overheated-watch your back with this flu, dehydration is a big problem, and I can assure you, it really happens. I'm in the aftermath now, downed a couple of bottles of water and turned on the air. Bad headache, though. We are watching Iron Man now, eating, resting. He is sick, unfortunately, too.

So I'm laying here now, and uploading the photo I managed to get.

I dont typically take this type of photo, but I'm so strapped down at home this was what I came up with. I think it is a good representation of life anyway, budding and growing as usual.

You can tell me what you think. I tried to at least give it a retro feel, since it was boring-old-flowers.

Until Tomorrow. :)
