Those Darn Cats

I was going to write a blog post about being home and the cats that my parents have, and this post was going to come complete with pictures, but these little buggers seriously do not stay still long enough to take a good picture of them. That, and the camera I currently use is terrible for, you know, good pictures.

I'm grateful I have a digital camera. It's nice to know that I can have my pictures quickly and in an automatic electronic format; however, the camera is not that great for many things, especially if I want to start capturing beautiful landscapes in the land that will soon be my home. I mean, just look at this picture:

Breathtaking. And what I would love more than anything is to be able to take some of those breathtaking photos for all of you who want to see what the real deal is with this place I'll be moving and setting up shop for an undetermined amount of time.

Which brings me to digital cameras. I have a feeling that this might be a tough decision for me. To be honest, all I know about photography is "Oh, this looks pretty," and "I really like the light here!" As far as specs and the, you know, technical stuff goes, I'm pretty much clueless. I'll need help from someone somewhere, but by the time I'll have a dough to purchase a "real" camera, I don't know when I'd actually have the time to shop around and talk to experts and "take my time." I'll need to know what I want so that when I'm in a city that has it, i can just go on in and get it.

In other news, I spent the entire day reading, something I haven't done in a long time. I miss it, and, yes, I'll admit it, I do feel slightly guilty for doing it. I mean, shouldn't I have done something productive with my day? Shouldn't I have maybe taken a shower and changed out of my pajamas? There. And now I have just shamed myself in front of the two of you who will read this. Well, don't tell anyone, ok?

Tomorrow I have plans for DOING THINGS. And don't ask me what those THINGS are because I don't know. All I know is that the THINGS will be productive THINGS and that they will benefit either me or my family in some way. These will be THINGS that will add to my school year planning and THINGS that will ensure I have not wasted my day.

Now, if you don't mind, I need to start figuring out what the heck I'm going to do tomorrow.
