I didn't inhale!!! lol!

Well, second attempt at today's blog as an inadvertant touch of the X in a box on my keyboard and I closed this while still writing.... Hopefully I won't do as I did yesterday and post the same long blog three times in a row... Now I am quite grateful nobody has seen this as how dumb that must look... ;P

Anyways.. I was explaining redoing my photoshoot that was a disaster on Wednesday to make sure my photo got uploaded for tonight's H2H tourney.

I had of course borrowed a cigarette from my neighbour, Edith ( I know the name sounds old.. like Edith Bunker or something but she is about 38.. very fun.. and a bit nutty and is an esthetician) . After setting up and verifying composition and lighting several times... I lit up ... and the old familiar taste of smooth and spicy tobacco hit my lips..it was like 12 years (that's when I quit) had never happened. That sort of scared me and I decided to do a Clinton and didn't inhale.

Finally.. I could have just not done the part with the cigarette.. I'm having alot of trouble with the focus on this new camera and didn't like any of the photos I took.. because the fishing hooks were always out of focus and the cigarette was too much in focus and I just couldn't get a decent curl of smoke out of the thing... so finally I went with the glass of booze with only the hook..
I had a fun idea that I wanted to do.. get an older woman I know .. Claudette to dress up as a nun and in a corner behind a church or something.. sneaking a smoke.. I figured .. bad habit.. the play on words of the nun's habit.. but the only nun outfit I could get was in Ville-Marie..and I would have to wait at least a week to get it.. (actually a skating outfit) and that would have been too late.. but I think that would really have been an original idea. Anyways.. H2H.. starts tonight midnight.. don't mind not winning.. would really like to get at least a 6 though.. anything under I will be disappointed.

Last H2H's in the tournament was with pixelpefekt and I won... after the vote was over I always like to go and check how people voted because there are only 2 scores and that is usually pretty easy to figure out.. anways.. I had gotten a 200 x a 4 .. so I went to check and only 3 people had given 4's in the whole contest to both contestants and only one of them could count as the 200. It was from juror.. Qjet... I was really disappointed.. because that meant he didn't even think that my entry was even worth average. If he would have given me a 5.. I think it wouldn't have bothered me as much ..but a 4.. that was like a bit of a slap in the face.. since other jurors that are good photographers gave much better marks and even gave wonderful comments. I'm not sure what to think of it.. I was almost tempted to write him and ask but then that sounds just a crappy whine.. and I really am not into that.

anways onward...

Tonight after supper I got my first foil cut.. just like a paper cut but with the aluminum foil that you use to wrap up the leftovers that probably nobody will want to eat and in a week we will be throwing out... we just like to package it well beforehand.. ;)

Also..
I'm in the middle of reading a book called "Mercy" by Alissa York..
pretty good read.. Canadian author with very short bangs that gives her a girlish quality.
So far the book is interesting and I have been reading short spurts here and there...
Let you know how I rate it later on.
