I'm sorry if I've seemed out of touch lately. I've just been exasperated with stuff going on at work... A lot of stuff has been changing, and I really don't agree that it's for the best. Even worse, it's stuff that seems to bog down my capacity to work, and when work frustrates me, it tends to leak out into every element of my life, making me frustrated at home, in my photography...

*sigh*

That said, never fear. The inspiration I've gleaned from your requests is budding, and I promise I'll do my best to try and fill as many as I can this weekend.

But, there's one slot left! I dunno how many people actually read my journal or my dA, but if you do, you may wanna snag my last slot!

Pending requests:

1: Dynamic City Shot, requested by ~dreams-of-absolution, fulfilled with <Not done yet, sorry!>
2: Dallas Skyline, requested by ~SailorGrowlithe, fulfilled with <Not done yet, sorry!>
3: Storm Pictures, requested by ~7-Spade, fulfilled with <Not done yet, sorry!>
4: A Particularly Good Sunset or Rainbow, requested by ~Amasis, fulfilled with <Not done yet, sorry!>
5: <request>, requested by <deviant>, fulfilled with <deviation>

I've been finding it harder and harder to actually force myself to grab all my gear, bag it up, and go out shooting. Therefore, I'd like to open this up to you guys to give me a bit of a hand.

I will, therefore, be taking 5 requests from you guys, my readers. Suggest something that you would like me to take a picture of in downtown Dallas - it doesn't have to be a specific building, and it could even be something that evokes a certain idea in my brain.

I just need some impetus to get out there and do it!

Additionally, and this is completely optional, if you don't mind doing a sketch or something for me in exchange, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks, sis.

At the behest of ~dreams-of-absolution, I guess I get to do this too.

Think about your normal daily conversations, be it online or off. Now list the top ten words you say on a daily basis, starting at number ten.

10. Already?
9. Hey.
8. Woot!
7. Urgh.
6. wat
5. Go!
4. Fine...
3. Yay!
2. Mew?
1. Okay!

What are the three phases you say normally from day to day?

3. Is work over yet?
2. LEARN TO DRIVE ALREADY!
1. Being home is nice...

Now to top this off, think back to when you were a little thing, and try to remember the first sentence you ever formed. If you can't remember, try to remember your first words.

According to my mother, my first word was "hungy" - a mispronunciation of hungry.

Now tag four people.

I guess I'll tag... *pandari, *Red-Lynx, *Soap-Committee, and ~Aaliyan - whether or not they notice or participate is out of my hands

Yep, we're back from glorious Houston. I had a great time with my family - it's been far too long since I've seen them, but it's good to be back in my home sweet home. Dallas is a hell of a city and it's great being back.

There's some loose ends I need to tie up from my trip, but I'll be submitting the few pictures I managed to snag as soon as I have them properly formatted and whatnot.

I'm back, folks!

So, uh, you know that camera of mine?

Yeah, the thing kinda sorta didn't come with a battery charger.

And the battery is sorta, kinda dead.



That explains the lack of submissions from me. And with only 15 days until I go to Houston, I need to get this solved NOW!

Ack!

Edit: And upon further investigation, it seems that the camera didn't come with a battery charger because it didn't come with a rechargeable battery! Kodak, how dare you!
