It's been about that long since I posted on here, and I'm feeling a bit rusty. Nothing a quick stretch and a few cracks of my knuckles can't cure, I assure you. *Craaaack.*
There, that's better.
Life's been busy. I've been working like a fiend, and in my "free time," I've taken on a bunch of side projects, including a book-editing venture and some writing projects. I've also recently switched positions at my job, and now I work relatively normal hours. I come in at 9 and leave at dinnertime. It's the first time in my professional life that I haven't had a vampire's schedule, and I'm still blinking a bit every time I step into the sunlight. I actually went to bed at 10:30 p.m. yesterday, which I don't think I've done since junior high.
I got a new camera recently that I love like it's my child, and I've been playing with it as much as I can. I missed my film SLR more than I realized, and it's a blast to be able to take beautiful photos again, especially since I don't have to pay to have these developed. I also realize that I'm about 10 years late in my excitement over digital, but I never realized that digital images could look as artistic as film. I have hundreds of photos on my laptop that need to be edited and uploaded, and I'm sure I'll be posting many of them here. (Above is one of them, which I pulled into Poladroid, a really fun program that turns digital photos into Polaroids. You even can shake them while they're "developing." I can't stop playing with it.)
Coming up soon -- a slew of Digital Wall of Shame errors that have been sitting in a pile in my apartment waiting to be scanned. And I'm always looking for more, so send your embarrassing grammar goofs my way!
