- My fish is still broken :-(

- Our water heater broke. I had a shower in cold water. It was bloody freezing!

- [info]misssimm & I played lots of Mario Kart this evening. I ♥ Mario Kart!

- Our Sky dish for the building is also not working. This happened sometime last week and it's still not been fixed.

- There's probably been other stuff happening, but I can't think of anything else.

If you were buying a photo print for your wall, what size would you think you'd want?

Poll #1485950
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 14

What size prints would you consider buying?

View Answers

Smaller than A4 (eg. 6x4, 5x8)
0 (0.0%)

A4 and smaller
1 (7.1%)

A3 and smaller
9 (64.3%)

Bigger than A3
4 (28.6%)



I realise this seems a bit random, but I'm looking at getting a photo printer and am unsure whether I should go for an A4 size one or an A3 size one, as I think I'd try selling prints if I had the printing ability.

Edit: In case you don't know these paper sizes, they are:
A4 - 21 x 29.7cm or 8.25 x 11.75 inches
A3 - 29.7 x 42cm or 11.754 x 16.5 inches

How amazing are these photos?

Wish I could be so inspired and original like this guy. There are some really great shots in the selection there.

Again, oops? Poor thing!

(You can tell he's not very happy, but hopefully I'll get him fixed up within a few days.)

It's official.

I broke my fish. Again.

He's stuck on his side in, an upside down U shape.

Oops?

2-3 days with no food, and then only peas for a few days and hopefully he'll be fixed like the last time. Silly fish!

So I did. )

- I've joined the legions of short-sighted people and now own two pairs of glasses (buy one, get one free).

- Had a busy week of going out with work peeps. Has been fun. At the pub quiz on Wednesday my team came second. Go us! Last night there was a meal and drinks for someone's bday - t'was nice to get to know people better.

- In town today I was happy to note that about half the people in the shopping centre were wearing poppies. I got mine today, as the cadets were around town selling them.

- I now own knee-high black boots. They're very me! ♥

- I've actually made a start on Christmas present buying. While I have no idea on anything for my family yet, I'm getting there with the things for my friends.

[info]thudjack really is an amazing personal shopper!

I dragged her into town today to help me choose a pair of glasses (got my eyes tested yesterday and surprise surprise (not) I got told I need glasses) - which we finally managed to find some that suited me and so I'll be collecting them next Saturday.

After this, we then went clothes shopping coz I suck at it and [info]thudjack does not!

These were the results )

Yeah, I totally did what I never usually would do (ie. edit the actual content of a photo) and removed the car from my bench photo.

I so prefer it without the big white blob that was the car!

Just went to turn the water heater on so that I can wash my hair... decided it was a good idea to just lean out my door and open the airing cupboard door.

And then proceeded to shut my fingers in my bedroom door's hinge!

Ow OW ow!

And ow a bit more!

What a wally.

I really adore this one. (The car is the only thing that really bugs me, but none of my other shots were any good.) Yeah, I totally cheated and editted it.

I've missed my photography lately coz I've been rubbish and haven't really been doing any. So today I wondered around The Common to see if there was anything photo-worthy.

I only have one photo up online so far, but took a few photos that I will be posting. So expect more to follow this week!

Glee  
I've been watching Glee this week and I wish I hadn't. I should have waited til all the episodes of the season had aired.

Because I'm now up-to-date and want to watch moooooore!

I had the Don't Stop Believing song constantly playing in my head for at least half of today.

And I was just dancing around my room to the It's My Life/Confessions mash-up (think kitchen-video style!) so much so that I actually started to breathe heavily from my over-the-top dancing (which doesn't usually result from my dancing-around-my-room dancing!)

*sways in her chair to the current song*

Do cheerleaders in high school actually wear their cheerleading uniforms all day like they always do in TV shows?

This question is brought to you by watching Glee and reminding me of a question I've always wondered about.
