Taking photos is mucho fun, but point-and-shoot cameras aren't ideal for taking crisp, vibrant shots.  Thank goodness for photo processing!  I recently discovered that the bare-bones photo "fixing" available in Windows photo gallery can actually do some pretty awesome things.

It was breakfast-break time in Inquiry class many, many weeks ago and we were milling around Cafe One, laughing at the block o' soup and nom-nom-nomming on sugar.  Suddenly, Alessia shrieked like a banshee - "BLUE RASPBERRY MILK!" - and promptly fainted.  Commotion ensued as everyone gathered around the glorified fridge, oohing and ahhing at the ( Read more... )

I never thought it would come to this, but...

Tonight (this morning?) I was good and I went to bed at about 1:00.  Then I lay in bed for 4.5 hours and now it's 5:27am and I can't get to sleep.  So I say to myself, "You have a hella lot of work to do and if you continue to try to go to sleep, not only are you going to be wasting precious time but if you do succeed you will also not be able to ( Read more... )
