Shadow Duet

Boo!

Where Am I?

I love these weird angles... hehe.

Still Life

Point of interest: clean kitchen table.

Moon Duet

Moon on a stick.

Moon fruit.

I couldn't decide between these two pictures for today. :) Lovely (but chilly) day for a walk in the park.

It Works!

Huzza! The rain washed away the snow, and uncovered my lost camera (right where I'd fallen while being chased with a snowball). And it still works! Canon is amazing!

Christmas Baking in PJs

Chocolate crinkle cookies! Recipe from le petit pierogi via Tastespotting.com.

Campus Tree

This was taken after our finals last week, when I still had my camera.

Happy Holiday Wishes

Thank you, SHJ!

Christmas Came Early

My advance copy of Sarah Blake's The Postmistress that I won on Goodreads! It's due out Feb 2010. I feel like a real-life book reviewer.

Technology (All Kinds)

Somebody slipped on the icy pavement today. Twice. Within 2 minutes. :p

I got excited thinking my camera phone would suffice before I get the new camera. Then I discovered I couldn't Bluetooth my pictures to my computer for some reason. So I had to take a webcam picture of my camera phone picture...

Lost!

I've not been this happy in months, building a beautiful snowman, two amazing snow fortresses and having an intense snowball fight with my housemates.

I also lost my camera amidst having too much fun. The universe is nudging me towards getting a new one, like I've been thinking about doing for a while.

In the meantime, I can't update here with daily pictures... :( I'll try to get back on it as soon as possible, and we can look forward to better pictures (for, of course, I'd be getting a better camera than my old trustworthy one!)

Yes, I Ordered It

The snowfall was from this afternoon, and I thought, "They issued a snowstorm warning for this?" But it got a lot heavier later! There must be at least 3 inches on the ground already. Snowman/snowball fight possible tomorrow? ;)

Goodbye, Fall Semester!

How To Cheat at Cooking

Exam week is not the best time to be clattering around the kitchen, and yet I can't be having pizza or Chinese delivery throughout the week. This recipe was bred by necessity and the fortuitous presence of random ingredients in my fridge/pantry. It must have taken me 30 minutes max.

Warm Spicy Tuna Pasta

2 cans of tuna, any brand

1/2 yellow onion (chopped, diced, however you want it)

1 green pepper (diced, strips, any way you like)

1 tbsp (more or less) sambal oelek

Ranch dressing (just enough)

Black pepper (liberally)

1/2 box pasta, any kind

Cook pasta as per instructions on box.

Combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Add to drained pasta.

Eat.

Continue with studying.

Before Geminid

I was fiddling with my camera settings, taking some night shots and trying to find one that will let me capture the Geminid meteor shower. Unfortunately, my itty-bitty camera was not up to the task of photographing the heavens - that picture remains in my mind.

Gloomy

I'm glad I don't have to be outdoors today - but not glad enough to want to study!

Studying

I've to be careful not to scribble over on to the white walls!

The Family Snow

Something cheery to look at after hours of studying...

Wet Winter

Unlike this smart lady, I had not replaced the umbrella I lost a month ago, and consequently got drenched on my way to class. :(

Black and white, inspired by gizmodo's Gray Winter challenge.

Apple Pie

I'm still trying to finish the Thanksgiving apple pie I bought from The Great University Bake Sale, benefiting the Middlesex County Food Organization and Outreach Distribution Services.

Taking Flight

I was inspired to start this photo journal of sorts, by a mentalfloss.com post about a man who took a polaroid a day till the day he died. I wish I had a Polaroid camera like Jamie Livingston did too, because the photos are just imbued with a certain emotion, but since I don't, I'm sure my little point-and-shoot will work just as well.

My blog address dari hari ke hari is Malay for the phrase "from day to day" and I hope I'll be able to find a picture to post everyday. I'll start it off with one that's not from today, but a little over a week ago, which I think is apt - a Mikroman in his autogiro waiting to take off. 'Twas a gift from a visiting friend.
