It’s not the camera…

I’ve had my picture taken twice this week. I had my passport photos redone because my hair looked so flat the first time. Ugh. Ugly, ugly picture. But it was better than my current passport photo. Oh I’m so glad I’m finally going to renew it!

Anyway, the photographer was really nice. I’m just wondering why the photo turned out that way when my mom took pictures before we left and those turned out okay. It can’t be the camera because the photographer was using a Nikon too with the standard settings. I remembered what my professor said, “It’s not the camera, it’s the photographer.” LOL.

Anyway, the second set turned out okay. I hate having my picture taken so I’m not going to get it redone.

I came back to the studio because the photos weren’t cut right. The photographer who took them (and my mom’s) wasn’t there so I talked to the other one. I argued that the measurements weren’t exact and he kept insisting that that can’t be true. I wish I’d brought a ruler, I’d have hit him with it! I hate how they’re so dependent on computers/technology. They’re not foolproof! A ruler won’t lie to you. I wasn’t up to a prolonged argument that time so I just went home and asked my dad to cut off the excess. It was a little crooked but it should be good enough.

Ack.

At least that’s done! One less thing to worry about.

Busy Weekend

It was my grandfather’s 3rd death anniversary yesterday, the 28th. Sometimes I still can’t believe that he’s gone. I miss him. My cousin Jason and his family spent a few days here and I was looking at his youngest daughter… I feel so sad that she never got to know him. My godson Darren was lucky enough to meet him before he was so sick that he couldn’t do more than just lie in bed and watch television.

We had a house blessing too. Three of my uncles and five of my cousins came. It was fun..but the kids wore me out. There were only three of them but the 2 boys (Jason’s younger brother and his son) kept running around and Chestnut kept screaming in my ear.

Jason and his family went home today so I have the house to myself again. My dad has meetings and my mom drove him so she won’t be back for a while. I guess I’ll just do some laundry then draw some more. I was planning to send in an artwork for The Covers Project but I was too busy this weekend. I’ll still work on what I planned but since I can’t meet the deadline, it will just go up on my wall or get packed away somewhere. LOL.

Rose Letter – Version 1.0

So… I have a new theme. It’s not as great as the last one I had up but hey, it took me just a few minutes to make it! It started off with multiple sidebars but coding was a pain. :angry: I’m sure we all feel the same way about Internet Explorer. Oh well… This will have to do! It seems to be working fine in Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and IE but if you encounter any errors, please contact me so I can fix it.

Rose Letter — not very original, I know. And the first WordPress theme I ever made (years ago) was called “Letters” – pfft. It was so…green. LOL. I’m happy with this one because it’s widget-enabled. ;)

Yes, I got the name from that image I used for the header. It was part of my Time (concept) portfolio for FOTOGRA. I can’t remember the title I’d written down for it.

Let me know what you think! ;) I still need to add some stuff to the stylesheet but I’ll do that later — probably sometime next week. I have to get some sleep. I promised my mom I’d go to church with her at 6 AM! Then we’re probably going to be busy for the rest of the day. Good night! :thoughtful:

EDIT, 12:52 PM: I’m redoing some of the images and the coding so things might be a little wonky.

EDIT, 03:31 PM: Done! I changed the background to a light color. I think it looks better now.

EDIT, 06:12 PM: Expect Version 2.0 before October. I really, really want to spruce this up. I feel like something’s missing.

EDIT, 19 SEP 2008, 01:24 AM: I couldn’t sleep so I worked on the theme again… This is Version 2.0! haha. :p Thank you to everyone who commented on the first version! ^_^

EDIT, 19 SEP 2008, 02:07 PM: I changed everything around again. Back to dark colors. pfft. It suits my mood anyway. I’ll probably change it again in a few days.

.. . . .

Hey! It’s Thursday!!! Supernatural!!! :bouncy: :hyper: :silly: :giggly:
