Then it starts to focus.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4626\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2007\/070910_mads_th.jpg\" ALT=\"mads\" TITLE=\"mads\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Can you read that? Yes, much better. But it&#8217;s still very annoying. It&#8217;s hard to tell whether the picture is going to be in focus or not. And having to zoom in to take a decent picture means I can&#8217;t quite be as close to the motif as before. It is no good, really. Lucky that I have been planning to buy a new camera, eh? Now there&#8217;s an excuse. I&#8217;m going to have to have a look around and see if it&#8217;s come to Denmark yet. Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom. That&#8217;s the one I want. Screw the finances, it&#8217;s not like paying the rent is important!<\/p>\n<p>You can tell that moving out has made me into a very responsible person, eh?!<\/p>\n<p>My left hand is tingling a bit. I must have a nerve squeezed somewhere. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s raining like heck outside. Beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>[time passes]<\/p>\n<p>I have now ordered myself the new camera. It was a lot cheaper than I thought. So that&#8217;s good. And 18x zoom. Like woah. I won&#8217;t need a telescope to spy on the neighbours, I can just use my camera. 2-3 days and then I&#8217;ll have a new toy to play with. This time I swear I&#8217;ll actually read the manual and get to know all the functions and how to get the optimal results from the camera. Unlike all my previous cameras where I have just been winging it.<\/p>\n<p>Ooh, new pictures and a video from Desir?e! My soon-to-be kitten, Luna Frodo. <\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4627\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2007\/070908_picture2304_th.jpg\" ALT=\"luna frodo\" TITLE=\"luna frodo\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>God she is so gorgeous. I did not know they made kittens that wonderful. Oh we&#8217;ve all seen cute little kittens, but none as cute as mine. <a HREF=\"http:\/\/s138.photobucket.com\/albums\/q280\/Vicunja\/kittens\/?action=view&#038;current=curiouskittens-1.flv\">And video<\/a>. Love, love, love. Today I went to the library and checked out Politikens Kattebog. And I snapped up a couple of other cat books as well. Couldn&#8217;t resist. Also picked up a little fiction, because the book I&#8217;m currently reading is completely awful. It&#8217;s an &#8220;unauthorised biography&#8221; of Gillian Anderson. The Anderson Files. I like biographies and this one was in English and cheaply for sale in a used-books shop. But oh boy, it&#8217;s horribly horrible. So I welcome some better reading material. And the library is handily placed right around the corner. Just outside the City Vest shopping mall. Five minutes away from everything I need.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the goats, of course.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4624\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2007\/070910_magnethebuck_th.jpg\" ALT=\"magnethebuck\" TITLE=\"magnethe buck\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But they&#8217;re worth the extra 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I made rice for dinner today. For the first time in my new appartment. And well, forever really. I have always been a little intimidated by rice. It seemed like a complicated thing to get right. But I bought these handy packages. With the rice in a little plastic bag that you just throw in the water and let boil. And somewhat to my surprise they turned out perfectly. Not mushy or creamed together or anything. They came out just like I like them. So now I guess I can add that to my list of things I can cook. Nice. I had cold chicken bits with it, lovely. My next project should be to finally unwrap that oven I bought and then actually make hot chicken. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>I am a little in love with <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8-8nkkOA_AM\">this acoustic cover of Hey Ya<\/a>. I want to buy Obadiah Parker CDs, but I don&#8217;t have paypal. Bastards! Get an international record deal you losers, how hard can it be?! I&#8217;m planning to get one when I learn how to play the guitar. Shouldn&#8217;t be a problem. And I mean all that with kind irony of course.<\/p>\n<p>Shake it like a polaroid picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, now focus on the board.
