Sunday Errands or Stoplight Theater
I just came home from running a couple of early morning errands. I took pictures of stoplights because… I haven’t a fucking clue, I just did.
Wasn’t that fun? Stoplight Theater is now a thing. Just like Scenes from a Cart Corral.
Night Pics
I had to drive to Wilmington tonight to pick up a potential xmas present at a Target that may or may not be built on top of the location of a warehouse in which I spent the last year of my life before returning to college in 1997. The whole neighborhood is new, but I think my building is still there, just significantly remodeled, and the Target is actually next door.
I took my point and shoot along for the ride and took some awful, awful pics.
On the way home I tried to take a pic of the city’s xmas tree but the light turned green and I ended up with this masterpiece.
When I got home and got out of the car I saw that the moon looked awesome through the hazy clouds and I ran inside to put my best lens on my DSLR so I could take a pic. It ended up being an exposure compensation test that gave me four really awful, awful pictures.
Next I continued the exposure compensation olympics by aiming at the xmas lights on the roof.
Isn’t this the most fascinating post ever? I knew you’d love it!
Wake Up
I didn’t mean to wake her up, but I did. Sorry to wake you, Patches.
I’ve decided I am going to try and use Lightroom Mobile more often. I set up a shared folder to move files back and forth from my MacBook to my iPad and iPhone. I could use the photostream but I don’t want to have every picture I take cross between devices, only some of them. It probably means I am going to ruin every picture I take, but let’s see how it goes.
Shelves
The bathroom lives once again. Like the new color? I already forget the old color.
There used to be a walk in shower but now there are shelves. I like the shelves. I liked the walk in shower more, but we are good with this.
Dark
I hate when the sun goes down during the work day. I hate it even more when there is an hour and a half drive that follows.
Night Light-ish
We have a little xmas decoration in the bathroom. It’s like a night light. I tried to take an artsy picture of it and failed miserably. I even messed with it in Lightroom on my iPad but the fail was so massive I couldn’t do anything to save it. Oh well.
Through a Rainy Windshield
Two pics through a rain soaked car windshield.

Feeling Okay
My stomach is okay today. No issues at all. I am almost willing to declare that whatever started going wrong two days ago, and then went really seriously wrong yesterday, has passed. It’s 3:13pm and I’m an hour passed lunch. I have taken in 40 ounces of liquid and 56.86 grams of protein. Everything is on pace for a successful day.
So the question left to me is, did I do something wrong to cause my problems over the last two days, or was it a bug that I possibly caught from Harry as he was sick to his stomach all weekend. I was going to assume it was something I did wrong until Jen told me that she’s feeling sick to her stomach today. I think it might have been a bug after all. That almost makes me feel better about the whole thing, other than the fact Jen is feeling sick today, which sucks completely.
I am feeling well enough tonight to go out and run an errand for Jen, even though it bums me out on an unrelated level. She bought something from her favorite computer/electronics store recently but it needs to be returned. I am going to return it for her. The bummer part is that the store is in Cambridge, right down the street from Harvard Square, and right across the river from Boston’s Back Bay. I have been wanting to take a camera to both of those places for months now but haven’t had a chance. I could do it tonight but it will be dark and I won’t have time to stop and that makes it a two strikes and you’re out situation. Maybe I’ll be able to take some pics from stop lights. I’ll bring my DSLR and put it in auto mode, just in case. I won’t bring film though.
Speaking of pictures, the weather is going to be crappy tomorrow. No sunrise pics this time. It’s not supposed to rain until mid-morning though, so maybe I’ll take the film camera out to a couple of places around town. We’ll see. The DSLR will go to Vermont with me on Sunday but I don’t think the film camera will. We’re not planning on spending much time in Burlington so there won’t be many opportunities for picture taking.
On a final, also unrelated note, our bathroom has a floor again:
