I've been largely avoiding playing video games these days because my television's screen has been slanting down and to the left. It makes it hard to see parts of menus, or dialogue. Forget watching anything with subtitles because you'll miss ninety percent of the dialogue. It was a decent enough television (or perhaps I only think this because I saved my money and bought it myself)...
When my grandmother died (not quite a year ago), my father ended up with her television. It's larger than the one we'd had downstairs forever, with better sound quality, so we retired the old one. Dad decided last weekend that I could have the old television if he couldn't fix mine. Saturday saw the thing's guts all over the floor but no solution to the slanting. New TV for me.
Photo class is going miserably. My first role of film was eaten by the camera; I shot the roll then wound it up, but when I opened the back, none of the film had wound and, instead, the negatives had been split up the center. It was weird, but the teacher told me to just bring in two rolls for this week. Yesterday, I went it with my two rolls (both of which had wound properly) and ran them through the developing process (along with everyone else in the class, though most of them only had one role), but when we were finished and we pulled our film off the reels, mine were both completely blank. They hadn't even been exposed!
Right after class, I went up the mall to the camera repair shop. The people there couldn't see anything that would be wrong - the film was winding and advancing, the shutter was working, all that. They kept it overnight to dissect the thing and see if they could find any problem, but they called this afternoon and, nope. Nothing. Camera should, by all rights, be working. So no one knows what's going on. Maybe I'm just destined to flunk and/or drop out of photography. Feh.
The ads are staying. I'm going to make a few icons sometime soon. There will be terrible, terrible puns that I am already ashamed of. Cyclonus should just shoot me now and get it over with.
