Sarah and I started a Photography forum and would LOVE to see you there!

I think i’m going to make an inspiration scrapbook and fill it with photography, art, quotes, and so on, all of which that influence my photography. I’ll probably put useful information in there too like what modes and settings to use. I love using my camera and yet i dont seem to play and practice with it enough.

Feel free to share anything that’s inspired you lately =)

As for other news, I dyed my hair chocolate brown the other day. Reese Witherspoon in Walk The Line has gorgeous hair in the film, and I fell in love with the colour. I finally dyed my own a similar colour =)

The past few weeks have been… Well… I don’t know. They’ve seemingly flown by. I’m working almost every day, and when I’m not working, I’m generally at James’s house. I’ve been doing a lot of knitting and website coding. I’ve not done so much photography over the last week, nor have I played much WoW, mainly because I just need a rest. I’ll probably get back into it soon.

I finished my first knitting project yesterday! It’s a multi-blue scarf about 5ft. long. I still have to weave the end pieces through and add some tassles, but it’s going to have to wait until I purchase an embroidery needle. It’s a present for my friend Manda. I’ve just started a new project: I’m knitting myself a Harry Potter Gryffindor scarf. Yes, I’m a dork. Shh. ;)

Speaking of Manda, in 2009, she may be moving all the way to New Zealand from the USA for university. I’m SO excited. It makes me so happy because now Manda has something to work towards. Previously she wasn’t very motivated, because her only option was an online course. Conveniently, University fees are cheaper over here, so she’s pretty keen on coming. I’m pretty keen on her coming too!

James had to go to the hospital today. :( He’s had some pain in his abdomen for the past six months, and after various treatments nothing seemed to be working. He went in for a colonoscopy, and the news was that there was no abnormalities, which is great news. The next step is to go back to the gastrologist to see what else he can try. Poor muffin :(

I watched the first half of the first season of Heroes the other day. I’m pretty freaking hooked! It’s actually a really interesting show. I’m also catching up on Lost, having watched the start of season 3. It’s a bit of a pain, most of the shows I enjoy watching are on the nights that work. I manage to catch the weekly episodes of Desperate Housewives, but as for Grey’s Anatomy (and Lost, which isnt too much of an issue, but if I didn’t work Wednesday nights for the last year, I probably wouldn’t be behind.. :o) I miss it every week. I’m sure I’ll catch it up eventually!

Anyway, time for a shower. I have work in an hour and a bit. :)

Churr, I suck at blogging. Truth is, I just haven’t had the time! Aside from working almost full time, the only time I have for myself is spent playing World of Warcraft, knitting, taking photos and creating a new group blog with a few friends. Overall, i’m pretty damn busy.

So, I have a day off today, and chances are all I’ll be doing is cleaning. Not exactly the way I want to be spending my day off, but my apartment is a bit of a pigsty at the moment. It just doesn’t seem to stay clean for very long at all. It gets so dusty due to the construction over the road and the docks nearby. So not cool! Closing the windows doesn’t really help much either.

I’m really enjoying playing WoW at the moment. I’m level 48 and have been doing a lot of battlegrounds the last week or so. I’m getting pretty good at it if I say so myself! I also created a guild which has quite a few members already! My next step is to get to level 60 (I’ve never had a toon above 45 so i’m well on my way :)) and get my PVP mount :D

I also mentioned that I’ve started knitting! I’m really loving this too. It took me a while to get used to it but now that i’ve got the basic stitch down i’m cruising along. At the moment, i’m making a multi-coloured blue/teal scarf. Woo!

I’ll do a proper blog in a day or too, but for now I’ll leave you with some photos from the Auckland Botanic Gardens that I took last week!
