New Things & The Return Of The Black Smudge

I've decided that since I have a camera, I should very well begin documenting my life more -- which also includes posting pictures/movies, whatever is good and funny within my life.

Also, at the bottom of the page, I added a counter. Justin told me I should do it, so I dipped my feet ever so slightly into the world of html editing -- which in this case meant copy-paste the tag into my template. That's pretty much the equivalent of having one of my molecules fall off and touch the ocean of html wonderfulness.

But yeah, photos. Aren't they just great? I really need to start taking more of my own, because although I steal many off of facebook, the resolution goes down..... and tha sucks when I want to get them developed.

My camera has been kind of broken; there's this horrible black smudge that keeps coming up in all of my photos. I've cleaned the lens... I think it's some sort of imaging problem. It went away for a little whiles, but then it returned in full force, having shifted itseld more towards the center. It's made avoiding the problem a little more difficult because before when it was off to the left, I could structure my pictures in such a way that I could just place a tree there, making the horrible smudginess less noticable. It's much more difficult with it in the center, because I have very few friends with black smudges for faces.



I like that picture because it looks like Jay and Justin are holding hands. It was taken in Zuma... which we agree is better than El Porto, because the sand is so frakin hot there. And the waves are bigger at Zuma. Although, I must give points to El Porto for not having water hovering at 40ºF.

I'll post more pictures later of our beach trip yesterday. We built an indestructible sand castle. Well, indestructible until the water came and destroyed it. It was beautiful.
