I'm Gonna Tell Everyone To Lighten Up
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Soak Up The Sun - Sheryl Crow
Attempt 1: Toss at bottom of tree
Attempt 2: Toss on grass
Attempt 3: Toss on pebbles
Attempt 4: Put under running water
*At this point I was going quite nutty and feeling pretty destructive
Attempt 5: Toss on grass again without wiping water off
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

I'm going a little nuts. Hahaha. Apprehension, anticipation, examination, assignmentation (lol wtf), anxiety, nervousness, tension, stress, and much much more. Ahhhhh!
So I decided to lighten up. With some flash photography. Hahahaha. And it's not what you think.

Yeah, so I think I'll continue with the series, actually. Next up would probably be one of the lenses. Or something. I did get the body and lens (40d + BG-E2N + 24-70 L) quite wet just now when taking the water picture. Hahaha. Crazyyyyy

Retrofit The Pudding Hatch, With the Boink Swatter
Marinate the nether rod,
In the squish mitten.
Power drill the yippee bog,
With the dude piston.
Put the you know what in the you know where,
Put the you know what in the you know where pronto.

Ah, hmmm.. Ever get that, em.. feeling (?) where you're there but not really there? Your eyes are looking but not seeing, your ears are hearing but not listening? Like, you're there but you're not paying attention to anything, letting your mind wander about in it's own way?
Yeah, well, I didn't get that. Just thought I'd toss that in. Hahaha
Anyways, today, I slept and woke up pretty late-ish. Oh, and I managed to scratch the car on the gate, of all things to do on new years. What the heck eh? Yeah, I wrongly estimated the gate's opening time (Not really, it actually stopped halfway through opening), so I accidentally snagged the left wing-mirror on the padlock hole on the gate. Gah! Now there's a scratch on it. Way to go, Eman!
So yeah, that out of the way, my dad and mum were cleaning the room we use for ironing and clothes, and my dad dug up his old slave flash. Oh the joys of having a father who enjoyed photography. Many things he has passed down to me, and the latest one is pretty awesome. It didn't work at first, but after some constant banging and throwing and trying (and plenty of slight curses) I managed to get it to work. It's not the best, but it's still pretty awesome!
The slave flash. Em, colour cast was because I bounced my flash off my shirt, which was red. Pretty cool effect.
And I was actually out of inspiration to check out what I could photograph, so I just decided to use what was readily available at hand, and that happened to be Grubbs, who was sleeping on my quilt.
Edit: Added new pics.
Did a spot of.. em.. Cam-whoring to play around with the slave. Hmmmm..
What's over there?
Oh.. Unghhh..
Not as aesthetically pleasing as the others above, but hey I get some fun now and then. Hahaha
Owhhh yesss! Looks like I'm starting off 2008 pretty well.
Hopefully other things go well too.
:)
