001 - New year; New journal


Project 365

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to complete a Project 365.
Hopefully I'll become a better photographer in the process. That's kind of the point for me.

Follow the link below to understand what Project 365 is about, why people do it and advice on completing one.

Project 365: How to Take a Photo a Day and See Your Life in a Whole New Way Photojojo:
"Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!)

1)Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.
2)Taking a photo a day will make you a better photographer. Using your camera every day will help you learn its limits. You will get better at composing your shots, you’ll start to care about lighting, and you’ll become more creative with your photography when you’re forced to come up with something new every single day."

Snuggies are Silly!

A month ago I wanted a Snuggie. Genuinely.
Then my friend told me that it was just a backwards 'robe'/dressing gown, one of which I already own, so I wanted it less.

Today I watched this:

Hilar (!)
And now I really don't want one.

Kitchen Nightmare

Behold today's egg-poaching failure:

POACHED EGG FAIL!

:(
Who screws up poaching an egg?
There is surely little to no skill involved in poaching an egg.
1)Boiling water.
2)Stir water into a whirlpool.
3)Crack egg into whirlpool.
4)Leave egg to cook.

That's IT.

There are several mistakes that may have led to this culinary disaster: when I tried to stir up the whirlpool using a knife... and when I poked at the egg with a spatula before it was ready.

I shall live to poach another day and.. I will become a better cook in the New Year.
