My new camera arrived this morning even though it wasn't supposed to arrive until the 11th. I love it. It's so much better than my last one which is supposed to have the same number of megapixels.
Old Camera: Fujifilm FinePix A900. Really dreadful. Takes ages to take photos with or without flash. With flash the image is all streeky (see Franz Ferdinand photos). It only really works in good daylight (holiday photos) and even then the settings need messing with. Image stabaliser doesn't work. If you've seen my Gareth David Lloyd photos you'll know what I mean.
Anyone want to buy it off me?! SOLD
New Camera: Canon PowerShot SX110 IS. So far it seems amazing. Obvoiusly I've not taken it to a gig yet, or really ventured outside in the snow but I have taken photos from my window of moving objects (collared doves) and stationary features in the garden. Tried both Manual and Automatic settings with a range of full (10x) to no zoom. Everyone came out well. Dispite shaking hands and being taken through glass it has already outclassed the Fujifilm by miles.
Looking forward to my trip to London on Friday/Saturday. Going to touristy things between theatre productions to test out the camera further. The 8gb memory card I bought should last me for a long trip too which is good.

Right I need to get ready to go out the door in 10mins but first I have to say: I ICE SKATED TODAY! Pretty damn amazed that I did. I can go, rather fast but not stop/slow down. Turning was sometimes an issue but I didn't fall over! Not once!
Need to figure out what to wear for the rest of Jennie's do. Bit cold for a dress.

Basically, you can just ask me anything you like. You can use the things listed above as prompts if you wish, or you can just ask whatever springs to mind, and you can ask as many questions as you wish.
I only changed one of the prompts (number 4 if you're interested) because I thought the prompt 'Drugs' was rather restrictive, but maybe that's just me. You can still use that one if you want though.
*wonders whether anyone will reply*

A few people have done this, so I thought I'd give it a go.
Well I wouldn't say I'm obsessive-compulsive as I'm reading a few books at once. One is a weird crime story that's gone round the dinner ladies - my Gran's friends, and yes I appear to be in their reading circle! Another is Necronomicon by H.P. Lovecraft. Pure brilliance but not a book I want to take on the bus to read as it's rather big and leather bound. Started reading RTD's book, it's in emails so easy enough to break from and also too big for on the bus. My other current book is Wicked. Around a third of the way through and I'm loving it. Felt like I got home in 5 mins rather than an hour.
Snob? Maybe slightly. Got into the classics recently and H.P. Lovecraft is THE author to read if you're into sci-fi or 'weird fiction'. Trashy romances just don't do it for me. Not even on a beach. Give me a good murder anyday!
Fad, again maybe. Read the potter books, will probably read Twilight soon if just to see what all the hype is about. Doctor Who books often get taken out of the library but I actually bought one today. Torchwood are always bought day of release and each book seems to be an improvement on the last.
Zavvii's clearance sale is pretty crap and stuff still costs more than HMV and Play. Got a couple of books for £3.50 each so that wasn't bad. They've now joined my 3 piles of 'to read' books that keep growing.

Future Plans; well it's not like I can plan the past unfortunately :(
Soo I've been thinking, yeah I know that's dangerous etc etc but I really have. I now want to pass this degree, yes I actually care now! and possibly do a teaching certificate.
hmm Can you see me as a teacher?
John could imagine me as an English teacher, but that was probably only because he had a thing for teachers.
Maths? Probably - I prefer science but how the hell do you do a sex ed class to thirty odd teenagers?!
*Remembers Kerry making Mrs Morgan blush!*
Lots of question marks and exclamation points there *points upwards* indicate more thinking required.

Just a quick post to wish everyone I know, and everyone who's just passing a very happy new year. May 2009 be better than 2008, and all the other clichéd sayings.
I'm staying in and watch Jools Holland's Hootenanny as I'm still ill. Been a week now. The best possible week to be ill if you ask me. I even missed christmas dinner and have slept through most of the holidays.
Love and Luck

| Which Torchwood Character Are You? Your Result: Ianto Jones You most resemble the team's composed, sarcastic general support. Passionate but excellent at hiding it under a reserved exterior, you care deeply about people and have a hard time letting go. The downside of keeping such a tight leash on your external emotions is that sometimes you lose control and have to let it all out. Competent and hard-working, you like to be on top of things. | |

BUFFY and Angel, and Firefly.
Others that I miss include Teachers (UK), and Queer As Folk (US).
I'm also a little worried Torchwood is going to join the list of defunct shows. Dunno why but this move to BBC1 for a 5 episode series has my stomach somewhat knotted, which the break after series 1 & 2 didn't. Please make it to series 4. PLEASE

'M beginning to stress over my NaNoWriMo going so darn slowly. Only got 2363 words. Should have done that in a day and in twenty mins it's day eight. How productive would writting it out of order be as I have a selection of scenes in my head it's just the linkage between them that's going oh so slow.
Gotta start my 6000 word project asap too as it's due in just over two weeks.
My Plans for Nov/Dec
NaNoWriMo - 5000 words
Essay on Railways which I have a feeling should be around 50 pages.
Structural And Stress Analysis problems
Attend a bassillion lectures
Daily two hour bus ride
Sleep? - Maybe not.
