Oh for fuck’s sake! The cable in my headphones has fucked up again. It’s only playing out one side. Fortunately the cable actually plugs into the headphones themselves, one into the left and one into right, so I don’t need to get an entire new set of headphones completely, but god dammit! I’m leaving tomorrow and would really like a working set! Last time it happened was over a year ago, but seriously, WTF. Exactly the same problem.

I’m considering just going down to JB Hi-Fi and getting a whole new pair, as I had to order the cable last time and it took like a week to arrive.

And there’s some douche sitting next to me listening to his voicemail messages on speakerphone. Grrr. Not a good start to the day.

iPhone camera vs proper camera with actual flash

iPhone camera:

versus

Proper camera with external flash:

😀

I tweaked both of the photos a bit. The iPhone camera one was just the auto-levels button in Aperture, to bring the brightness up — it was really dim — and the real one was brightened just a bit, and the temperature changed to be a bit less yellow.

Dear next five days,

Please go really really fast. I want to see my kungfupolarbear, like, yesterday.

Love,
virtualwolf

I think I just confirmed my lack-of-taking-photos-at-home theory from my previous post… we were up at Mum and Dad’s for dinner, and I ended up taking a bunch of shots!

And now to hopefully take advantage of the extra hour sleep tonight because of daylight savings ending! ::faceplant::

I realised it’s been almost a month since I took any photos with my regular camera. I think I’ve just been feeling uninspired… and the total lack of furniture in my place at the moment kind of limits things too, heh. Photos of a large empty room? Not very interesting.

Once kungfupolarbear gets here (ELEVEN DAYS UNTIL I LEAVE, SQUEE) we’ll be out and about taking photos of all and sundry! Most of the photos I’ve been taking recently have been from my iPhone, altered with Camera Bag and uploaded to Tumblr.

I snapped a few photos of Lily with my full camera today, though only one was worth keeping.

I was combing her hair after her bath last night, and it’s actually getting really long! The sheer curliness of it disguises the length. And good lord does she manage to get some impressive knots in there. I’ve found the trick to her staying put so I can de-knot it all is to put on Shrek 2 and just have her sitting in my lap watching it while I comb. She’s discovered Monsters Inc now too and says “Mons-ers!” while we’re watching it. 🙂

I really should start bringing my regular camera with me again, I think. The clouds this evening were spectactular, and I only had my iPhone on me.

In other news, SIXTEEN DAYS UNTIL I LEAVE FOR THE U.S.!

Well, that was a productive afternoon!

I got my travel insurance and International Driving Permit sorted, plus have three more passport-sized photos for when they’re needed for the next visa application for kungfupolarbear, and bought a clothes rack.

Now to cook dinner!

Over the past couple of days I finished watching all of Season 4 of Supernatural that’s aired so far.

OMFG.

Anyone who hasn’t watched any of it yet, needs to. Holy shit it is fucking awesome. Of course, now I need to wait a week between episodes. Grumble. Life is HARD.

Woo point form updates!

• I’ve had yesterday and today off work sick. I’m all coldy and blocked up and icky-feeling. Thankfully this is my week off with Lily, so I won’t give it to her.

• I’m currently talking to kungfupolarbear on Skype and we’re talking about how we’re going to set up the furniture for our place, and what we’ll get, and it’s interspersed with random squeeing. 😀 I’m going to be over in Boston in exactly four weeks! And then we’ll be back here in just over six!

• I’ve decided to actually make use of my Tumblr account, and will be using it to post my random photos of various things (which will probably end up being mostly photos of Lily that have been altered with Camera Bag :P). The Tumblr app for the iPhone is very snazzy and makes it much easier to update, and with TwitterFeed it’ll send updates to Twitter.

• My parents have said they’ll pay for our wedding!! We’re still going to have a small do first, partially because planning a full wedding in three to four months would be horribly stressful, and kungfupolarbear‘s mum wants to be able to come too and she wouldn’t be able to get time off work that soon. But omfg. SQUEE. That was so totally unexpected. Dad said they wanted us to have something that wasn’t small and cheap and rushed. 🙂

I do so love my iPhone

There’s a very nasty thunderstorm rumbling around outside at the moment so I’ve shut everything down and unplugged it just to be on the safe side, but I can still get my interwebs fix on the iPhone!

…although it’s probably a little sad that I feel the need to do this in the first place. 😛

Speaking of the iPhone, there’s this very fun little app I’ve been fiddling with called Camera Bag that applies filters to your photos to make them look like they’ve been taken with various old-school cameras.

Polaroid!
