PRUDENCE NEVER PAYS

I find I'm really superb at chemistry. I suppose it's all the rules and formulas, it's all just so easy. I don't mind it much either!

Halloween is real soon and I'm dressing up as a mime. I'm going to try real hard to not speak throughout school, but not talking while out gallivanting isn't quite as plausible. At least I'll be able to say I tried!

Pentax scheduled to arrive in 2 days. Yesssssssssss.
I also found out that I'm going to the Mayan Riviera for Christmas to celebrate Mom's recovery!

Until I am able to take some photos, I'll leave you with the visual stimulation of my recent favorites on Flickr:

A MURDERER WOULD NEVER PARADE HIS CRIME IN FRONT OF AN OPEN WINDOW

I find waking up hungover to the sounds of Brahms, Maher, Debussy, Chopin, Phillip Glass, Chihei Hatakeyama , Dustin O'Halloran, Satie, and Library Tapes is way better than Akron/Family, Animal Collective, Beach House, Great Lake Swimmers, Grizzly Bear, Karl Blau, The Microphones, The Mountain Goats, Phosporescent, She & Him, and The Zombies.

Fact of the matter: I changed the playlist I fall asleep and arise to. It was a good decision on my part.

Other than that riveting news, I'm staying in tonight, alone, treating myself to Psycho and Rear Window.
(And during the breaks where I refill my mug of green tea, I sing La Marseillaise.)

I LOST MY BAG IN NEWPORT PAGNELL

WHY IS THE LAST MILE THE HARDEST MILE?

My Pentax is scheduled to arrive on Halloween, according to Canada Post.

I got the disposables developed, hardly any turned out great. I'll scan them tonight and upload some on here and the best on Flickr. Stay tuned!

Long weekend begins tomorrow! Hopefully I'll take some photos with the K1000 on the following Saturday.

NEW PURCHASE

I just bought a Pentax K1000 with a SMC Pentax-A 50mm 1:2 lens off of eBay. I'm totally psyched. My dad learned with this camera when he was a student and I now know what camera he used to take all the great photos he took in school! It's fully manual and I cannot wait to take some photos when it arrives.

In February, my classes at Arts Umbrella start. I'm awfully excited for the course I'm taking, it's just a shame my own school doesn't offer an elective like it. Oh well! Now I don't have to worry. Mmm... darkroom chemicals... I can smell the fumes now! The course is called Photography: Projects and Portfolio. The course focuses on b&w, something I have not ventured into as of yet. (But can you blame me? I only bought my first film compact in August!) Anyways, I'm sure it'll be a total blast that I'll learn a lot from.

My four disposables are done and my Konica is almost there. I fear the price of developing and printing them all.

School tomorrow. Woo.
I better go... get rest... or something.

I GOT MTV2!!!

Now I can spend countless hours watching adult men act ridiculously. Yay!!!

I'm still grounded. This morning I've just been receiving and replying to texts, refusing invites. I hate that. But I love watching MTV2 and eating Girl Guide cookies alone in my house.

Right now I'm just living towards the weekend where I can be a reckless teenager again. I usually hate it, but now that I've experienced a long break from it... It's time to be stupid.

Some old photos:

JUST A LIL' UPDATE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T READ THIS

1. My fears are becoming very unnervingly tangible. I found a giant bundle of snaill eggs in my terrarium. My seemingly succesful terrarium will be overrun with snails. Failure.

2. My boss and I stole apple pie from the teacher's lounge fridge today! Delicious.

3. I have to wear two sets of dental elastics at night now. I couldn't fall asleep last night because my mouth was all tangled in latex rings. Terrible.
