The cats have mostly steered clear of me since I started feeling sick. They did come and visit this morning for a few minutes. I think it probably had more to do with their water bowl being low than with trying to nurse me back to health. Oh well.
In this rare moment when I am not asleep, I snagged some more pics of Robin because I am sick and bored and want this bullshit to be over.
Robin the Hipsta-kitty and I are watching Ashoka. She seemed to be loving it but just got up and walked away so maybe not.
Celebrating my Monday day off from work by trying to get the cats to pose for pictures. Robin is always up for it, Lily… not so much, though she did sit on my lap for 0.68 seconds today.
Lily was going to be in these pictures too but she ran off.
Hipsta-Kitty, Hipstamatic Shake to Shuffle.
A pair of Hipsta-Kitties on a lazy Sunday evening. Jen and I are eating dinner in the living room, just hanging out. It’s really nice.
Robin (Hipsta-Kitty) is trying to watch Doctor Who with me. I’m on the last serial in season nine. The next thing on the series list is the 10th anniversary celebration where they brought back the first two actors who played The Doctor. Fitting as we’re getting the 60th anniversary episode in a couple of months, and the last episode I watched from the current series had a bunch of past Doctor actors come back as well. It’s like a small world or something.
I’m barely even awake and Robin is already posing for me. What a good kitty.
Okay… so if I am not going to have a point and shoot camera that at least rivals my iPhone 14 Pro Max, then I should really start using my iPhone 14 Pro Max’s camera more often, right? That’s just logical, even if you are a friggin’ snob like me, right?
It’s been over a year since I’ve thought about camera work flow using my phone. What are some of the things I used to do? Edit on Camera+? Okay. Edit in CameraBag? Do I still have that app? I haven’t used that one in many generations. Okay.
Hipstamatic. If I start using Hipstamatic again, will I be the only red head on Earth using it? Yeah, maybe. I still have the app on my phone, but only because it was there when I initially restored the new phone from a backup almost a year ago. Do I have any of my in-app purchased film/lens packs? No. None. Fortunately I was able to restore all of those purchases… and there were a lot of them.
To test drive that the two main settings I used to use in Hipstamatic are still functioning (shake to shuffle and save the original photo with the filtered photo) I decided to bring back and old “favorite”*, Hipsta-Kitty!
Granted, The Hipsta-Kitty was our Miss Patches and she has passed away, so this is more like Hipsta-Kitty Mark II, but it still works. Here is Robin, who slept through most of this.
So yes, shake to shuffle and save the original both still work, and all of my favorite combos are still there, and all of my previous purchases have been restored. Should I end up going with my iPhone 14 Pro Max as my go-to point and shoot, Hipstamatic will once again be there for me… even if I am the only living creature in the known (or unknown) universe (or multiverse) still using it.
Groovy.
ADDENDUM: I hit publish, forgetting I was going to add a footnote. So I will add the footnote to the addendum. Right on.
*When I say “favorite”, was hipsta-kitty ever really anyone’s favorite or was it just me verbally yanking the universe’s chain? Probably the yanking.
I have punched out for the day. Kick ass, dude! Only one work day left until my favorite four day weekend of the year. Patches is excited for me. She’s so excited I had to break out the old Hipstamatic Shake to Shuffle!
Hipstakitty is back! Or is it better as Hipsta-kitty. I can’t decide.
