FUN WITH CAMERA PHONE
No worries. My back up Metallic Orange External Hard Drive started glowing and angelic ‘ahhhhh a ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh’ music was cued quickly after I got the news from Best Buy’s Geek Squad in their most delicate form of delivery: ‘Yea, you’re motherboard is shot… uhhh, for $80 I can hook it up back here and see what happened’. Now there is money well spent? I want to know why my lap top (decorated with sparkly flower gems in bright orange, green, and pink) went from being my companion to now just a pretty paperweight!? Trust that $80 was better spent elsewhere. Regardless, here is a quick recap of the past five days which, don’t you worry, will be subjects of very near future posts, this is what goes on when one doesn’t have a computer…
1. I cleaned out my camera bags… and found 4GB of CF cards (for non-photographers that is like 900 high res photos I can shoot…or around200 ridiculously awesome and space consuming RAW image files) and two MAC lip glosses (for photographers that is a great brand of superior glossy color that lasts on lips through hours of shooting/dancing/living)… basically like hitting the jackpot, no matter how you look at it.
2. I wrote down approximately 114 blog topics and upon review found ‘voting‘ and ‘Love is a Mixed Tape‘ on there twice. In case you don’t know what either is, I suggest ya do some googling… and/or just click on the hyperlink… or better yet, just tune in to erikaleighfun.com daily and see if that is the topic of the day.
3. Attended the UGA vs. Georgia Southern Football game and nearly passed out only four times due to heat exhaustion. 50 yard line seats are great when kick off isn’t at noon and their is a ‘ceiling’ over your head… but I’m not complaining. Go Dawgs! (see picture above.)
4. Logged 46 mpg in my rockstar Hybrid (though it would never win in a drag race down Peachtree St, it wins the better race for the environment… ish) for two five-hour drives to and from Charleston for the WEDDING OF CASS AND JEREMY! The now MR. and MRS. Jones! The weather was hot, the bugs were out but these two are just the epitome of fun, which is what I love in subjects! The setting and lighting were perfect. I nearly lost a lens (and the full box of Dots I consumed on the trip east) during the reception on the boat, but it was well worth the shots I got! These two are more than pretty subjects/good clients… they’ve become friends, which is what I hope for all my future ‘clients’! Will post a few teaser pics soon!
5. BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER… how fun, not necessarily on the wallet, but I feel back to normal. I’ll be squinting less as the screen is massive (yes, that is a technical term) and I can touch the screen to navigate instead of just using a mouse. An obvious necessity…
Those five are just a snippet into my weekend! OH and I posted the ‘Obama’ blog that was saved in my blog drafts as it didn’t quite make it to published status before ‘Erika’s Motherboard Meltdown ’08′! I hope everyone had a safe Labor Day! Let me know what yall were up to… even better send some pics…
Keep in touch.
