Anna gave some suggestions about what we should do instead. I like the romantic lightbulbs at Home Depot.
I was at the bar with Krystal, Jimmy and Mel. It wasn't there when I got out of the car earlier. I parked FAR away too. I came out to my car with Jimmy so we could go buy ourselves some Carb Free Rock Stars to sneak into or Goose Vodka on the Rocks, I saw this monstrosity.
I was walking and talking to Brad on my cel about our supposed plans for the night that never went to fruition and I started SCREAMING at him on the phone about what son of bitch did this to my car? Really BITCH?!? What mother fucker had the fucking nerve to hit my car?
I'm gonna have to share with Tony that somebody hit my baby, he's the only one that knows the pain and frustration this is.
Just the other day I was out with my Matt and he always gets out of my car when I park it at home so I can park and inch away from the wall, everybody knows I park FAR away from civilization so this shit doesn't happen.
I'd like to find the mother fucker that did this just so I can slap his forehead with a hammer. Maybe he'll have a stupid smile on his face like Brad Pitt did in Burn After Reading.
Self-checkout: I'm a trained Wal-Mart cashier, so I can scan my items pretty quickly. It drives me insane when people treat their items like each one is a Faberge egg. IT'S A CAN OF BEANS, just scan it, bag it, and move on to the next!
Airport security: We all hate it, but if you've flown, you should know the drill. Take off your shoes while you're standing in line, not when you get to the metal detector. And don't give me the stink-eye if I cut around you. You're too busy fumbling with your belt to worry about what I'm doing.
Telling jokes: If I say something funny (as I am wont to do), don't say "this reminds me of..." and then go on to repeat the exact punchline I gave you. If a joke requires a funny accent that you can't do, or a setup you don't remember, then just let it go. It's better to just say "you should watch this movie, I think you'd like it."

Every product designer will attest that the devil is in the details, and this screwup is evidence of that. I recently bought a Sony DSC-T7. Aside from a few image quality problems, which I think I would be able to resolve with actually learning how to shoot with it, I have to say that from an industrial design standpoint, this camera gets high marks. My main criteria for buying a camera this time was the pocket-friendly form factor and the quick "out of the holster" response. To give you an example of what it feels like to hold, do the following. Get a 52-card deck of playing cards. Remove 24 of the cards. Put it up to your face, and you will get the picture. In terms of those criteria, this camera exceeded my expectations. Then, I had to plug it in. The friggin battery charger is bigger than the camera! When you plug it into the power strip, it takes up 3 spaces!!! Perhaps there were technical contraints that prevented you from just being able to plug a power supply into the camera to charge the battery, but surely, they could have done something better than this! Perhaps spending the time designing a power supply would have been a worthwhile endeavor.
Still in the library, Me and a friend were practicing rants for a oral project we had to do. Mines was something about social networks

So my latest hangup is over the iPhone apps that allow users to take fake polaroid, holga, etc shots, with sometimes astonishingly lovely results. I love shooting film, and I feel a little cheated and jealous.
However, this great article in the NY Times Lens blog comments that the iPhone is like a contemporary polaroid in a lot of ways: portable, inconspicuous, and convenient. It makes a lot of sense.
p.s. I took this with my D90 and spent about 20 min editing it for this effect, which isn't even as effective as the iPhone point and shoot. Sigh.
Ensimmäinen matkapäivämme poikkesi sään puolesta muista. Lentokoneen laskeuduttua Varnaan sää oli kuin Suomen kesästä repäisty – satoi kaatamalla. Kultahietikolle päästyämme sää oli kuitenkin onneksi sen verran parantunut, että uskalsin lähteä ulkoiluttamaan kameraa rannalle.
