It's god damn delicious outside right now. It's foggy, and the trees are beautifully dressed in hoarfrost. I'm so sad I didn't take my camera with me to work this morning. I would go out and take pictures when I get home, but I have to shower so I can be all pretty when The Swede comes over (yay!).
I'm not feeling particularly well today, though. It's ladytime, and I hurt all over. I need a rub and a nap. Alas, I'm stuck at here.
Stevie and Mike came over last night. Stevie did homework, while Mike, Allen, and I dicked around. I love when they come over to visit. We all get so silly and laugh so hard. I am so lucky to have the friends that I do. There's a lot of teasing that goes on, but it's all in good fun, and I know my friends all love me. I feel safe and happy when I'm around them. I'm excited for Saturday. Food, booze, and my friends. It's going to be fantastic.
Today is my Friday, and I'm really looking forward to having this week off. I won't have anything to do, really. Well, I have a ten page paper to write, and another paper to write, and a presentation to put in order, but that's not really anything at all. I'm planning on many, many baths with tea and reading. I have lots of books to catch up on, and this will definitely afford me the opportunity.
I have to finish all of my work today, because I need to write my synthesis paper before I see The Swede tonight. I will have little to no desire to do any kind of homework once he comes over. When I say little, I'm being overly generous.
I tried to take a picture of outside a moment ago, but my camera phone sucks balls. It's a bit frustrating, since this camera is the entire reason I bought the HTC One in the first place. It should be grand...it has an ISO setting, a white balance setting, the HDR mode...but the quality pictures are few and far between. Are we going to blame user error? Fuck no we're not!
Speaking of cameras, I'm very heavily researching my next one. I figure I'll get it with my tax money, so I don't have to wait much longer. I do want to know what I'm getting into, however. And because I love my lenses, I'm going to stick with Nikon. I'm thinking of entering a photo contest for a 60D, but I browsed the entries, and I don't know if I have anything as good as some of the things I saw. It's wildlife themed. I was thinking of entering my mantis photo, one of my gorilla photos, and my mountain lion photo (I do love monochrome, after all). I'll look through the entries again once I finish this damn newsletter.
