OMFG…I got my camera today! Much earlier then expected ^^. I was quite afraid of being disappointed with my $600 purchase…but I’m more then happy! I spent most of the day taking pictures of random crap around Joe’s house ( it being laundry day). I’m pretty sure I’ll be hugging a lot of the automatic features for now and later on I’ll go messing with the custom stuff ^^. Sooo being that I’ve never stated it, I got a Nikon D40. I must have read over the review on dpreview.com like a million times before I decided to get it. My favorite feature….SHUTTER SPEED OPTIONS AND MANUAL FOCUS! w00t no more crappy point and shoot <3. So once I got home I of course tested out it's true capabilities on Harumi XD. He was my little model/camera whore this evening. Sample Pictures:

 
 

Believe it or not those were shot in extremely low light and me being a spaz with a shakey hand…Yay ^^! Pictures that don’t suck! I seriously want to photograph everything now o_o. At least this gives me modivation to finish up that last Yukata for Natsuo so Liz and I can have our little traditional photoshoot with the boys. *clicky clicky*

*sigh* so um, besides that…I’ve been doing nothing XD. Kind of trying to get stuff in order. Less then two weeks now o_O. I did yet another major room renovation today so hopefully it’ll stay that way till I leave XD. Also started checking off stuff to pack….what an adventure that’ll be.

Tomorrow Liz and I have the appointment with our International Advisor to finalize everything with the flight plans…and I still have to go yell at the school some more for messing up my billing T-T.
Thursday Joe and I are supposedly going on a dinner cruise that he’s owed me since Valentines day…but the cruise ship effed up our plans and have been giving us trouble ever since. At this point I think I’d rather him just get a refund and we’ll go blow $200 in Manhattan for a day. I guess we’ll see how that goes.
