Yay!
I was just getting ready to blog and say that we were STILL waiting for the snow to start falling! I turned around to check one last time, and, alas, it’s snowing! And it’s like….REALLY snowing! It’s awesome…it started about ten minutes ago and it’s already starting to cover the deck. I would post pics, but unfortunately you can’t really see much of the snow right now on camera. I’ll put some on Flickr a little later.
Speaking of Flickr, I’ve decided to become more active there. My photostream hasn’t really been updated with new pictures in a couple of months, so I’ve decided to get back into photography. I found my camera today, and I realized that it really sucks. Very badly. All it can really do is take pictures, due to the fact that I dropped it last summer (2005?) and the little knobby thing broke. Originally, I just wasn’t able to zoom in, but then somehow the down knobby thing broke, so I couldn’t zoom in OR out OR access menus or anything. It was quite a horrible tragedy, if I do say so myself. But I’ll survive.
Anyway, I decided to do so because I realized that photography is a great medium with endless possibilities. I used to take so many pictures! I had so much fun with it, and then after I busted my camera, it just kind of…faded out. Last year, during our annual trip to Indiana, I took 195 pictures (the first knobbly thing broke at the end of that trip). This year, I took three. All of which I voluntarily deleted because they sucked. Now, grated, I did take a few with my mom’s camera, but still. I’ve enjoyed having a camera phone, which allows me to take pictures on-the-go easily (most of my recent FaceBook pictures are from my phone), but the quality isn’t wonderful.
So, look for updates to my Flickr page soon! ![]()
Just for fun, here’s a pic that I snapped during our one and only blizzard last year (click on the thumbnail for the larger version). I actually don’t remember too many of the details…I know that it started snowing pretty late at night. It was really dark out, and I was doing some random crap at the computer. Every time it’s supposed to snow, I glue my eyes to The Weather Channel website and refresh the radar map every ten seconds, waiting and hoping to see that huge cloud of white over the dot that says Columbia…hey, I can be excited, can’t I? But, this particular night, I was excited because it was a Wednesday, I think, and if it snowed enough, then it meant that there would be no school on Thursday, and we hadn’t had a snow day all year (It was already February!). It snowed and snowed all night after I went to bed, and when I woke up, there was no school!
Edit: It’s up on Flickr! I know, it’s not a lot of snow (yet), but it was enough to get Blasko to cancel rehearsal!
