during the weekend, i drank too many lattes (it was awesome).

and crocheted for about 8 hours on my monday off. it was really relaxing, but at the same time, i never realized that sitting in my bed, crocheting, could show me how out of shape i am. my back hurt, my wrists hurt, and i was actually sweating! strangest experience. THEN i had one of those nights where, you know, you've been doing this one thing all day long, so all you can think about is doing that one thing? i was mentally crocheting all night long and it took me hours to fall asleep. maybe i'm turning into my grandma, because all i want to do right now is loop yarn around a hooked needle (my grandma makes the most amazing knitten creations! i shall post pictures of them soon).
here is one of the beanies i made yesterday:

yeah, "4" is an odd number for a list, but i couldn't quite think of 5.  i'm sure as soon as i shut my laptop for the night, i will be like "oh yeah!  i can't believe i forgot to put ___________".  

guess we'll see :)

happy valentines! @--->----

**oh yeah!  zack and miri make a porno!  i love that movie.  crude, but oh so sweet at the same time.  kevin smith makes my heart melt.  he directs a darn good movie!  great dialogue, great romantic conflicts, very thought provoking.  just great.

there you go.  5 movies.

as many of you know . . .

i got a new camera :)  it's a canon 5d mark ii.  i only got it yesterday, so i haven't had a whole lot of time to take good pictures, but i've been practicing on it like crazy, mostly testing lighting, iso's, shutter speeds, etc.; learning the ins and outs.  i think i may be in love.

the pictures i posted were just some practice shots.  basically i went outside and took pictures of whatever i could, not putting too much thought into each one, just trying to get images i could upload onto my computer to check out the clarity, color, etc.  

i decided to mess with them a bit, give them that old, expired-film look, just for fun.

hopefully i will get a chance to get out and take more than just practice shots tomorrow. weather permitting :)
