Almost art

i took this photo whilst walking down sea road yesterday, it was rainy and there were lots of nice lights everywhere.
i did a kind of unintentional pan with the car but im not complaining.
ive started to enjoy taking photos in low light without a tripod, at shutter speeds that you should probably use in conjunction with a tripod - it gives a kind of weird blurry painterly effect that i like.

new years eve soon
i wont be here, this time, next year.

Christmas 2010

so this is christmas and that is my little brother pulling the wrapping paper from one of his many presents he received this morning.
its been a really nice day, we stayed inside for pretty much all of it, had lunch, heard my grandads hilarious ficticious war stories, did presents and i went the whole day without slicing my self open with anything ( last year i unintentionally managed to insert a craft knife underneath my thumb nail and subsequently faint ).

all in all its been good, i got some cool books, more cool books and an abundance of grey clothing.

merry christmas erryone!

we got home ok.

yesterday i went to a christening and then to a fancy dress christmas party.
both were good, one was a slightly more drunken occasion than the other.
i took this photo of joe as we were walking up the road to our house in the early hours of this morning, its horrible and grainy and stuff but theres something i like about it, the blurryness makes it look almost like a painting.

also im having to transfer, edit and upload images using my mums outdated, no spec toshiba laptop where the only image editing programs are HP image zone and MS paint...
a painfull process to say the least

i'll do my best to keep posting whilst im away from base.

i woke up today and it was snowing again, a lot.

i along with the rest of my housemates are supposed to be going home today but im not sure what the trains are going to do, i hope they work.

just took this picture of phil playing with a fingerboard on my window ledge as is snows outside.

ive also been toying with the idea of taking and uploading a new photo everyday next year, i think it could be interesting...

if enough people convince me that its a good idea this new years eve, then i will.

taken on the bus today on the way into central with phil to buy christmas presents.

i found what i needed for other people and also came across the new hardback version of mark haddons - ' the curious incident of the dog in the night time', i love that book.

should be heading home on saturday, as long as i dont get snowed in or anything like that.
