Something new
I’ve discovered the site Foodspotting and made my very own account! Now I finally have a place to put all those food photos that I keep taking but not posting to Flickr.
And wow do I take a lot of food photos. Way too many, really. I am somewhat disgusted by the sheer number of food photos I have in each month’s folders (I organise all digital camera photos by date). For some reason, I haven’t been posting the food photos to my Flickr account. I was trying to be a serious photographer, but I’ve recently given up on that and decided to start posting photos of food, myself, and my cat as I was doing a while ago before I tried taking myself more seriously.
My Foodspotting account is still too new for me to even tell if I’ll keep using it or not, but so far I like posting to it and seeing what everyone else is eating lately. Just another reason for me to get a smarter phone too, since I could use it to take photos and then upload them to the site right away and stop being such a disconnected Luddite. For now I’m content with uploading photos from my digital camera. I don’t need to tell people in real time where I am and what I’m eating. At least I don’t think there is, but maybe that will change after we both upgrade our phones.
In other news, I may be taking a trip for work soon. It’s been a while since I’ve had to travel for work, but I think they’re finally getting wise to the fact that I don’t have family obligations keeping me at home. Also, I’ve been here long enough that people actually trust me to know how the company works, and that I reliably get sh*t done. Yay!
Oh, and one more thing! I’ve been knitting again! I thought I was pretty over it, but as soon as the weather turned a bit cooler, I decided I was back for more. We were shopping at one of those outlet malls one weekend when I saw this marvellous knitted scarf/loop. It was a long thickly cabled scarf that was sewn into a loop so that you could twist it around your neck twice. I thought this was a great idea for a biking scarf instead of the regular cowls I’ve been making that are nicely sized, but don’t really cover all that much of my neck/chest. A long one that I could twist around twice would be perfect and cover everything, so I decided to make one. I’m using a pattern for the Cupido Cowl that I found on this wonderful Japanese knitter’s site (all of her knitted items are so bloody gorgeous!). I can’t wait for it to be done so I can block it.
