Day 87/365

Oh Tomo, my good friend from Japan. It was a blast going down to have dinner with him, but I have never hated LA more than tonight. Driving around that city is the bane of my existence! Is it bad that if someone was to attack the US, I would want it to be LA so we could start the whole city over? Yes that is wrong... But you know you are thinking it too.

Day 86/365

So, my picture was SUPPOSED to be with Alisha on this one, but I couldn't get the right pose and I didn't have my tripod and yadda yadda, so I had Brian here hold it and he went nuts. I have some GREAT shots of me and my Yacht Club 'date' but since this is my project, I realized that I have to use one of the shots that I took! Next time Alisha!

Day 85/365

I needed coffee, so I decided to attempt to make it...
I waited and waited and finally when it came out, all steaming and black... I realized that my water to coffee ratio was... a little one sided.

fail.

Day 84/365

So when I got dressed this morning I looked in the mirror and realized that I looked like I should be in the 'Jerk' Video, but then realized, I don't know how to jerk, so I went in the living room and pretended.... I still can't backwards skip...

Day 83/365

There has never been a day where I wanted to hang up the cape more than today. I reluctantly am donning the cape in this one, getting ready to patrol. Keeping the Village safe.

Day 82/365

I was playing with my goatee (which is longer than it ever has been now) and I combed it upwards making it fro and stick out everywhere. It was hilarious. I then proceeded to making faces in the mirror of my bathroom for about 5 minutes while shooting. One would think I don't have time for this, but the way I make my schedule is making SURE that I have these random packets of time throughout the day, just to stay sane!

Day 81/365

This was the closest call I have EVER had! I was in bed, And it was 11:49 and I was like "HO//SNAP!!!SON!#@123" and jumped up put on what I was wearing earlier and shot into the mirror in my room. I really need to focus and make sure I don't miss...

Day 80/365

Again, I find myself forgetting to P21 until right before bed, so this is what I have been sleeping in, Hoodies. "But Staphon, its the middle of September, its butt hot in California." Well small child from Idaho, I would then have to tell you that since I have free utilities, Blair and I have kept it at a nice 73 throughout the night, giving us a cold setting and an even more cumphy slumber in our hoodies.

Day 79/365

Dug up all my Christmas gear and combined it with some summer gear and headed out to LA Xmas where I got 3rd place in the costume contest, good times, soooo hot!

Day 78/365

Had to do a project for class where we figure out our escape. I find that when I put on my headphones, I escape into my own head. Its pretty nice...

Day 77/365

Another save, 15 before midnight. I decided to get Blair in on this one, took it while talking about the day, good stuff!

Day 76/365

I started reading Alice's adventures in Wonderland, its been a great book, I could simply just eat it up, but I'm much to afraid to actually eat a book, I might grow 2 stories tall or shrink down to the size of a mouse... Maybe I have been reading too much...

Day 75/365

Alicia came down to watch Smallville, and Abby had to tell her something, so she peered through the stairs (since I liver under them and they live over) and alas, my shot for today was born. I was pretty tired from practice after this and could barely walk, I'm going to feel it big time in the morning...

Day 74/365

Today I decided not to wait for the last moment to do my P21 and got on it in the daytime. Amy was sitting in the kitchen while Blair was making a salad and I decided to take this time to bond with her a little bit, and it was a good idea cause she matches so well!

Day 73/365

Well, I definitely forgot to P21 until 11:39pm, nice save Staphon, haha, well... THis is my bed atire, I have grown accustom to wearing a hoodie to bed and turning the AC on really low (perks of being an RA and not having to pay Utilities) and I needed to stay still for the shot since I put it on a lower shutter speed. On days like this, I start to feel like I am getting a grasp of my camera, happy day. Oh, and my Great Grandma made me this quilt. I love it!

Day 72/365

I'm struggling for creativity now. I need to stop waiting till the last minute to do my P21 and I need to do some stuff in the daytime so I can stop being outdoors. Maybe tomorrow...

Day 71/365

I decided to keep this one dark, I thought I was getting better at using this camera in low light settings but apparently... I'm not. *sigh* Today was pretty good though, but I am definitely drained now. I'm laying on my living room floor now and regaining energy so that I can successfully play some Apples To Apples tonight! YEAH!

Day 70/365

I was just sitting around playing some guitar before practice and realized that I haven't had any P21 pictures of me playing guitar, at least I don't think I do... I may have to look back to confirm that...

Day 69/365

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARYSIA! (I honestly have no idea who she is, but her bf seems pretty cool, he asked me on DA to take a picture with a sign saying HB to her so that he could make a collage, how could I pass up a call for help!?)

Day 68/365

This is right after my hammock broke. I was laying on the patio with no air in my lungs and my camera in my hands. I rolled inside and flopped on the carpet in the living room. I looked at my camera to make sure the lens didn't crack in the fall, and when I tried to screw off my half fish eye adapter, I twisted to hard and heard a NASTY crack inside my actual lens. Everything still works, I just have to actually pull it OUT when i want to zoom, no more twisting... fml anyone?

Day 67/365

Alicia decided she wanted to be in my P21 for the day, so after we got out of the pool and showered, we took this. Look simple no? Well it took about 15 tries, sometimes I wonder if I am learning ANYTHING from this experience... MY camera is STILL so foreign to me...

Day 66/365

Mike helped me with this one! Its nice knowing other Photographers! I was on duty again and played a bit of ping pong, read some Alice's Adventure in Wonderland, played some Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2, and some Wii Bowling! OH duty night in the Village clubhouse...

Day 65/365

Today I was in the clubhouse ALL DAY! Seriously, from 7:45am - 2am! I took a few stroll breaks but it was mostly RA related. I love it! I'm glad I decided to return!

Day 64/365

This day marks the day that I officially am a Man! Yep, thats right, this day! Why do you ask? Well, I was at Wal-Mart and I spent $80 on TOOLS! Yeah, Power Drill and all! And inside was a nifty little invention called a stud finder, and yes, it definitely found me and blinked red which means STUD FOUND! No joke, when I press it on some people, it doesn't find them! Hahaha!

Day 63/365

Me and Holly have been talking Ninja trash all week, so I decided to show here some actual ninja tricks, it was great, I taught her the art of the Ninja shirt mask and some ninja shadow techniques which was pretty much a slow shutter with the flash!

Day 62/365

Someone once said if you aren't foaming, you aren't brushing hard enough. I thought about that whilst brushing the teefes today and thought I'd share with everyone.
