i want to make a new blog under my domain that catalogues the cheap alternatives to fancy furniture. because i’m spending all this time doing it anyway. given the easy confusion that arose, i want a cool name – and i have no ideas!
aaand go. :P

tilt shift for sports
this is so freaking genius. although during his voice over he does seem to be rubbing his geniousness in. “i shot this from the same perspective as the fans that surrounded me” (okay, not verbatim quote, but approximately what he said).
still, very, very smart.
new week
i picked up a new pair of eye glasses today. i’m loving them. tim called them “high tech”.
(also got the lenses replaced in my emo-pair, so that now i can actually see through them!)
when we were in the opticians i asked for a quick check up. while my mom and i were waiting for him to come in, we took turns sitting in the chair and trying to read the eye chart in the other end of the room (like 3 meters away). she could see until the 9 and somewhat 10th line for the linked eyechart as an example. i… couldn’t really read the first. like, that big letter up top. holy cow.
in good news, my vision did not change in around 5 years now! woo!
this week should bring some exciting updates. all in all, life is pretty goshdarn great. kudos scarf, i even have a flickr account now. makes me feel special, for the low low price of $25/year! i should just give someone else the money next year and have it work out that way.
nicotine bagel
i want to be the first person on the internet to use this word combination. (that’s at least indexable by google).
good luck is…
when you drop the kitchen timer thinking you just broke it but NOT only it didn’t break (apparently the back cover slides off!) but you also figure out how the heck the switch from minutes/seconds to hours/minutes occurs. (not that we needed it. yet.)
things i want to do once i graduate
once graduate:
paint the living room. grey. and hang art! (mom’s, stalker’s, mine).
go outside and take photographs (in the magic hour. i miss daylight!)
take shady for a walk downtown (similarly, miss shady AND daylight)
read a book in the park (… daylight …)
tan ( … )
contemplate that i am about to graduate somewhere peaceful. like a park.
under the sun.
with a book.
i really need sunlight.
once start working again:
get a metafilter account.
get a flickr pro account.
get nice lamps for the living room.
get Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 EX or Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX or Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro. All. So. Good. and all are under $500 USD. not even sure which one i want more! f1.8 wide angle? man.
my favourite
wee us
edit another picture i found (during cleaning up files)
nickelback releases the same song 2 years apart
loud music starts playing automatically. the mix is actually pretty neat. and it is pretty funny too.
inspired by indexed and a conversation
an interesting quote
It is said that we are all three different people: the person we think we are (the one we have invented), the person other people think we are (the impression we make) and the person we think other people think we are (the one we fret about).
