I’ve just been consumed with non-blogging activities lately…<\/p>\n
Such as trying to figure out if it’s a) me, b) my camera in particular, or c) all canon digital rebels that take such horridly underexposed flash pictures<\/a>. All I did to that one was re-size it for the web, although I can manage to edit it to something decent-looking<\/a>. Just for clarification, that picture was taking during the day, in a room with plenty of windows, and with a big honkin’ flash (technical term) on top of the camera…and it’s not the only one I’ve taken that looks like that. I’d like to think I know what I’m doing with an SLR (I’ve had a film SLR for almost 10 years), and what I’m doing with a digital camera (I’ve had one of those for 3 years). And working for the big yellow box had perks like photography courses and darkrooms, of which I took full advantage…so, I’d like to think it’s not user error… Of course this would become a crisis just a couple of days before the end of the return period… I don’t know what exactly I’m going to do yet.<\/p>\n Then, there’s the fact that I spent a good portion of the week in waiting rooms at the hospital, leaving absolutely no time to clean up my house, so the disaster area turned into…well…at this point, if I torched the place it might be easier to deal with. :) So, that’s what I’m spending the weekend working on. (No, not torching the place – cleaning it.) Really. No knitting for this blogger until the craft room has a floor again. And the living room looks like a living room again. And the tree is out, the decorations are down, and the bathrooms sparkle. (How many hours are in a weekend, anyway?) Of course, I have great motivation to stay indoors, since it never even reached 6°F today.<\/p>\n Anyway. So, if I don’t blog too much over the next couple of days, that’s why. I’ll be cleaning. Or knitting…no, no, no….cleaning…mostly…with a little knitting, maybe?
