Blog daily.
for 90 days...

I’ve done this before, participated in memes that lasted for 30 days and the like. This time i want to post something to my LJ or one of my blogs at least once a day for 90 days. I seriously need to start writing again and i think that this is the best way to set about doing that. I probably won’t begin in earnest until after the New Year, but this is definitely something i want to accomplish soon.



Get a digital SLR camera
DC vacation

I took a photojournalism class using this camera, and have really enjoyed playing around with it from time to time, but it wasn’t until my vacation to Washington DC this summer that i really came to appreciate my camera. It finally feels like i can use it to just point and shoot without ever needing a flash or easily switch to manual for some more artistic shots. This was a big investment, and i’m proud of my camera. I saw someone else with the same or a similar camera at one of the museums and realized that i felt like i was part of a special club. I don’t have one of those dinky digital cameras that takes grainy photos with a flash that’s always either too bright or too dim! I take beautiful photos as long as i take a little extra time, and i save money on film that i never can seem to get developed, like with my old drop-in film camera. So yeah, buying this camera was totally worth it, and i look forward to using it in the future.



stop dyeing my hair (read all 2 entries…)
well, i went four months...

I dyed my hair this week for the first time in about four months! I was surprised that my natural color hadn’t grown any farther than it had, and at times it looked blonder than i was expecting. Despite this goal, i discovered that i still really wanted to dye my hair often, and resisted for a long time, but finally just decided that there’s so much stuff that i cannot control about myself that maybe it’s okay to control this as long as i don’t overdo it. My hair is holding the dye fine now, it just turned out to be a bit lighter than i was expecting. I don’t know if i should mark this as “done” or not, because i went a far piece without using dye, but maybe i should have gone farther. It was just getting to be so much ash, it didn’t feel like me at all, and i was looking at some old photos where i looked great with my hair red, so i’m going back for the time being.
