I’ve been feeling off recently. I’m not sure why. Its probably a lot of things – so I’m going to spew my mind here for a bit – you’ve been warned 
Bounce result from 270-EX
I bought a new flash for my camera. We originally bought the Canon 270-EX, but I found it too limiting because it would only work on the automatic setting. I really liked the results that I did get from it though, particularly the bounce. I went rooting online – specifically eBay – and found a flash brand, YongNuo, that produces a much more feature rich flash for a much lower cost. Almost 1/3 the cost. I did some research on Flickr and found quite a few people use them, and said that they are a great alternative. I figure, for 1/3 the cost I’m willing to take the chance of failure that seems to be pretty low for the casual photographer. I ordered it last Friday and they said it can take between 5-14 business days to get to me. Let’s hope that I can figure it out!
Cotton Pouchee
For my birthday I bought myself a purse organizer, and I’m waiting anxiously for it to be delivered. I started out by looking at purses that were great for organizing, but I found the search VERY frustrating. For one thing, the pictures were horrific. I mean, if you’re selling a product for organization, can you please show some pictures of the inside with some common items ? Or at the very least, describe how many pockets the bag has and where they’re located. The only places I could find pocket bags were on travel sites and they were nice, but it was a shot in the dark and they were expensive. I’m willing to pay good money for a bag I’ll use day in and day out for months if not years at a time, but not without knowing what I’m getting to begin with. But then I ran across the fact that they make purse organizers, which can be pulled out and put into any purse, and I realized THAT was what I was looking for. I tried a brand called Pouchee, and I just hope I choose the right one. The other one I was debating about was the Kangaroo Keeper, but it didn’t seem as good of quality (plus, because it was “as seen on TV” the only purchase option was to buy one set, get one set free, but you had to pay s&h for both sets. The total cost would have been close to $40 and I don’t need TWO sets – I don’t even need one set. I just needed one) even if it did have some advantages over the Pouchee.
We were pretty broke during my birthday this year, so it was really low key but nice and relaxing. My sister made me a cake! Then we watched this super depressing LONG movie on Netflix called “Passengers” – which we though was going to be a crime mystery but really ended up being sad and depressing. Paul and Evy got me the sweetest cards, and like I said – it was very nice. On Sunday I got my nails done and I also saw “Knight & Day” with my sister. It was good, but not great. I really enjoyed Cruise’s comedic timing but I felt that some of the jokes were predictable and that the progression of the story line was rushed and stagnant at the same time. We saw it at a discounted price, and was glad.

I don’t know if I misunderstood Picasa the last time I downloaded it and tried to use it on my PC – or if they’ve made some significant changes to the UI – but can I just say… I think I’m in love?
Frustrating especially when I'm looking at pictures in the peel-apart film group I joined. I'd love to know which camera they were using to get such an amazing shot – but the tags are cryptic 9 times out of 10.
