I got a new lens/film combo for Hipstamatic for iPhone today. Kitty helped me check it out. Thanks, kitty!

Photojojo
I got the set of photojojo external camera phone lenses. This is the 2x zoom combined with Hipstamatic, a cute kitty, and the beautiful love of my life.
Stop Light Reflections
There is one stop light on my drive home that takes forever. Sometimes I get bored. Sometimes Hipstamatic and the shake to randomize function distract me.
Grocery Shopping (Nerd Alert)
(this is a nerd alert. the nerd factor on this post is through the nerd roof. consider yourself warned)
I went grocery shopping today and I was on fire!
Jen drew up a list for me before I left home, and there I was in Market Baskett… finding stuff without any trouble. Every single thing on the list, BAM! Found it and threw it into the cart.
I was like a grocery shopping artist. There was no stopping me. Even things I’ve never bought before, like spinach. POW! Right in the cart.
I was so pleased that I went all Hipstamatic shake-to-randomize.
My 2012 in Pictures – Part Deux
Yeah, I did a my-year-in-pictures thing the other day. It was fun. What the hell, thought I, why not do it again? This time I’ll run fast and loose with the whole one-pic-from-each-month thing. I’m crazy like that.
We have to get our pics of the Sands Bridge in Methuen before she collapses. Or maybe I should say before she finishes collapsing. It’s already started. Also, I don’t think I found a relative in the Grove Street Cemetery, but who knows?
In February I finally finished an RPM Challenge on time. It only took me five tries. We also got a new bed. Jen’s penguin approved.
In March, the kids and I became wilderness explorers. Hipstamatic came along for the ride. Actually, we just wandered around in the woods behind our house for a little while. It was fun.
April in San Diego. I want to go back RIGHT NOW!
May gave us baseball, Bar Harbor, and my first up close New England Lighthouse.
The picture pickin’s are slim in June, but we did get a new Rush album (and it is awesome) and we got another fantastic piano recital from the kids.
July offers more choices after a spontaneous trip to Boston, and a week long stay in Maine that included some time in the mountains of New Hampshire.
In August we went to the Top of the Hub for the first time in my life. The views of my city were spectacular. We also spent some twilight time on Hampton Beach.
September had mountain waterfalls, leaf peeping, my first ever attempt at photo-walking in Tewksbury, and more Rush.
October continues to belong to Washington, DC.
The camera didn’t come out much in November, but I did torture the cat, and my wife, with my camera phone, and we did celebrate Turkey Day.
December had more mountains, more mountain streams, and Christmas.
And there we have a second view of my 2012 in pictures. Forgive the gratuitousness.
Happy New Year (again).
Sickness Continues for Both of Us
Yesterday I felt like dung. Today I feel like dung again. Sniffles, sneezing, lots of coughing, stuffy head, post nasal drip, all sorts of garbage like that.
Still, it doesn’t measure up to what we feared about my wife yesterday.
Jen has had a rough time with antibiotics lately. After stopping her course of antibody number two, she had a nasty headache on Wednesday. Yesterday evening it came back, along with some weird sensations on her face. The emergency room was recommended by her doctor’s office. It turned out to be just another mild illness piled on top of the other nastiness she’s been fighting off for three weeks or so. She’s okay, just not feeling terribly well.
They took her out of the room to do some tests and I fought my nerves by playing with hipstamatic… as usual.
I even took a creepy hipsta-selfie.
Today we get to see how the new antibiotic goes. Her work schedule is very full today, so I haven’t heard anything from her. I sent her a “how ya feelin'” email, but no word yet. I take that as a good thing. If she were feeling sick she’d tell me.
I love her.
I adore her.
I want her to be feeling better.
ER
This is what the emergency room looks like:

Really, Mother Nature? Really? You’re dumping this crap on us today?
My cold is back. I suppose this is black plague day 13535236 or so. This sick just won’t go away. I am working from home today. If I had to make the long drive in to the office I probably would have called in sick. I am so tired of this. Jen, my beautiful, beloved wife, was feeling awful again yesterday too. She’s better today, but can we get a break please? I would be grateful for a little stretch of time where I didn’t have a box of tissues glued to me. This blows! (pause as the narrator blows his nose… again)
Dueling iPads
My beloved is locked in a dueling iPads game of Monopoly against her daughter. They are both listening to music at the same time so when they talk about the game they are both yelling.
I couldn’t love my family more.
Mirror
How is it that I’ve had this Hipstamatic mirror image thing all this time and yet failed to take 364214578421 pics with it?
