Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

ha

I need a new hobby
tried sewing and made a cushion cover for my floor cushion but that wasnt overly exciting
and the cat didnt make it easy either
photography is fun but I am not exactly brilliant at it

so I really need to find something else
something far away from a computer

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

lol
no either do I
but all that after editing and sorting gets a bit boring
I literally only like the action of taking the photos
the rest I dont really care about which kinda makes me a very bad photographer tongue

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

I understand what you mean. Sometimes I get a bit carried away by taking lots of shots. The sorting and editing can get tedious.

I got a nice surprise this month. I received an email in my Flickr account telling me a few of my live music shots were shortlisted for an online guide of Austin (Schmap Austin Guide). This week I was notified that the shortlisted pics made the final cut. You can see them here :

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

I cant work out which are your photos Jen hmm

another big fire in London and just down the road from the Camberwell fire which happened earlier in the year
thankfully no one has died this time around but people have lost everything
wonderful stories of everyone making sure everyone else was getting out of harms way and people looking after each other

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

Although there are multiple photos for each of the venues, my name is listed under my photos (Jennifer Leduc).

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

my dad is coming down from Bonnie Scotsland today
havent seen him in ages like years
feels a bit odd as it doesnt feel that long and you dont expect when you are little you will grow up and not see your parents for years

hope the snow keeps light so his train isnt delayed

also for the first time in years I picked up charcoal and did a little drawing
hoping I get a chance tonight to do another
then have fun times lined up for tomorrow which I really cannot wait for


erm the snow is really starting to come down here now
not impressed
unless it settles properly it can bugger off

also this sad http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8415726.stm
poor bus
hope the people are ok
but look at the poor little bus

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

just had bloods taken
will say my blood is a proper gorgeous colour

honestly though the dr was shit didnt listen to me at all and came up with some CTS which doesnt fit my symptoms so off to find an osteopath instead
reckon I will have better luck there and hopefully that will be the last time I ever need to go back to that surgery
forgot how much I dislike going (and being ill most annoying thing ever in the world, ever, seriously once you have had a cold why do you need another? you know whats it like that box is ticked)
they accused me one time of taking drugs and drinking (neither of which I do boring I know tongue ) because I said I enjoyed gigs
wtf

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

Haha coz everyone at gigs is usually wasted and stoned... obviously lol. Doctors are generally mean, when i got tinitus mine gave me a huge bottle of pills and i had to have one a day till they were a gone, and i'm certain that was just so it's take a year to do it and they wouldn't have to see me in that time. =[

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

yeah halfway through we all stop and pop a pill
I got the impression it was more what he got up to on the weekend to be honest
self projection eh tongue

on a serious note
this year has been a bit of an extreme start has it not
two massive earthquakes, flooding, snow and every time I click on the news site yet another actor musician or such like has died.
talk about a year of sudden changes

Re: Random/Off Topic Blather

did my usual lets make a prat out of myself in front of a band last night
went to see The Neat as a friend promised Simon Kaiser he would so I said I would go with him
physically clammed up when Peanut and Nick said hello
like someone had put my throat in a death lock was hard enough to breathe let alone answer questions sad
really embarrassing as well as its not like I haven't spoken to them a billion times
wonder when I will grow out of this new found shy
or is it like spots its the lie you get told to make you feel better when you start getting them in your teens
meh

at least I was fine with Simon and after that could speak to both Ricky and Nick to at least pretend I am a polite intelligent individual


at least my course is going well
really really loving it and loved looking at Cezanne
I could look at his landscapes all day
