Dorrie's Doll Diaries
Sunday, 18 November 2007
Looking for where today went...
Now Playing: "Star Wars Lego : The Complete Saga" for the Wii. Dearest Son saved over Beloved Hubby's game, so...

Current Mood : Relaxed

Current Pattern Note : I've had this one a while - was available for years - but never did anything with it. It seems so 'blah'. Maybe someday...

 

I have no idea where today got off to. I didn't do much with it but finally get View 2 up on the main site. For some reason, that photo took *forever*, about 16 tries. It looks like I just shoved Chel up against a fabric-covered piece of foamcore, and that's about what I did, but the eye-decal flash was something fierce ! Then I remembered to use the ‘macro' feature on the camera - the little ‘tulip' flower icon. I have no idea why that works, but it does. There's still some eye-reflection, but the close-up selection limits it somehow. Guess I really should go back and read the manual !

 

You'd have thought I'd have hit yard sales yesterday, the '07 season's soon ending, and it's not like Molly's wheel would have flown off...but I just couldn't seem to get it in gear. Even with Beloved Hubby's encouragement to go have some fun, I just wanted to be home.

 

Viewed Black Friday ad sites, and it's a good thing they're not very good sales, ‘cause I certainly ain't leavin' the house unless I absolutely *have* to. Every time I go out, even for a bag of chips from the quickie mart, on the Friday after US Thanksgiving, I nearly get creamed by somebody tryin' to read ads and brag on buys via cell phone, while coordinating with the folks in the backseat and having a quick snack, well, with all that going on, who has time to watch where they're driving ? Not even free dolls could lure me from my nest ! Nope, gonna buy a ton of junk food during the Monday grocery run and sit on my happy assets. Maybe sew something, and send good wishes and sympathy to the retail folks who are probably really bustin' humps to serve all the nutballs who've staked out line spaces since they wolfed down a turkey dinner at Gramma's, and are currently plotting their next retail conquest. Yikes.

 

In the meanwhile, I've a whole house to clean and Han clothes to plot, but I'm still reading Fark.com and trollin' for YouTube videos. I must still be sick or somethin'...

Glad that you are starting to feel better.  Just wanted to comment about the Macro zoom.  It works so well for close up pictures.  You can go in close on that zoom and get great pictures.  I was taking pictures of my jewelry I am trying to sell and the pictures came out blurry.  I remembered at the last minute that you should use Macro for up close pictures, and the pictures turned out great.  I wish I had more technical savvy for you on why it works better, but I know that's the setting for closer up pictures.  Its trying to remember that that's the irritant.  LOL!
