DST, flickr and the zoo

Current Mood:

Thank goodness I’m off tomorrow from work. This whole DST is making me so tired this past week. Im still not used to going back to my routine at sleeping 11 pm but rather sleeping at 12 am. So I end up so tired the next day that I have to drink something that’ll wake me up (coffee ugh). I dont drink coffee. It makes my teeth yellow so I should force myself to sleep as early as I can starting next week so I dont have to drink that stuff anymore.

Finally I signed up to Flickr and uploaded my photos. I had to remove my gallery in here as they were taking up alot of space plus the spam was going overbearing. You can view my photos there. I’m not a professional photographer but I do like taking pics of objects & places. But I hate taking photos of myself. Flickr has this really cool thing where the thumbnails that is generated from your photograph is so clear and sharp but when you see the actual photo, it’s not so clear… I honestly do not have the time to ‘photoshop’ every single photo that I’ve taken so you’ll see that while the thumbnail is so sharp and clear, the actual image is not so sharp and clear.

So the trip to the zoo this Saturday is cancelled. I’m disappointed as I have never been to the Toronto Zoo. A bit pricey for just 1 day but it’s not like I go to the zoo ever.

Also just a little fyi, if I ever had to pick one food to eat in a year, it would be sushi. Any type of sushi minus the wasabi. :)

    I love the photos of the flowers but I can see what you mean about the thumbnails.

    Yuck I hate cofee too and plus I’m very protective of my teeth so I wouldn’t drink cofee even if i wanted to.

    I like going to zoos but I feel guilty for those animals in captivity..it just doesn’t feel right.Hope you’ll get to go sometime to the Toronto zoo.

    Welcome to Flickr! Sushi is great..I agree with you. If I had to eat one food forever it would be Sushi

    aww, sorry about your trip to the zoo! hopefully you’ll get to go in the future.

    On my last exam I drank 2 cups of coffee a day. One in the morn to wake me up and one in the evening to keep myself awake while reviewing. I didn’t have a choice but to drink coffee. It makes me feel weird- nervous and dehydrated.

    In my opinion, Flickr is nice, but I don’t like it that much. I have a lot of photos, but only the latest 200 photos would show up. You can only create up to 3 photo sets (albums). That’s for a free account. It’s not enough for me. I use Yahoo Photos instead cuz I can create unlimited numbers of albums and all the uploaded photos show up in the photostream.

    I’m trying to get used to the days being more brighter now that spring is coming. It makes me more tired too because I can’t sleep.

    Too bad the trip got cancelled! I love going to the zoo. Hope you get to go some other time instead :)

    Aw sushi, really? I’m not a big fish person so that’s a choice I can’t understand, haha :)

    I hope you had a nice day off! DST really messed with my sleeping all week, too. I couldnt fall alseep when I wanted to and then I couldn’t get up in the morning. Ugh.
    I’m sorry about your zoo trip :( . I love the zoo, I haven’t been in a long time though. Maybe I’m inspired to go now, lol.

  7. KayC says on March 19th, 2007 at 9:45 am :

    Ah yes, I have to say that this Spring Forward time is getting to me. I get sleepier even earlier now. :excited:
    But I love coffee, but maybe you should try drinking some Red Bull. I hear it gives you wiiings. :rude: No I’m just kidding but I know how it feels to not be able to get up early and then have to drink some caffeine to make yourself awake enough to stay up.

    As for flickr, I still haven’t gotten into that phase but I’m sure I will soon when I get my camera fixed, and I have to do that within a couple months. So then is when I will be checking everyone’s flickr. Though they do make the pictures look really crisp and clean.

    I’m sorry your trip to the zoo has gotten canceled that would have been a blast, and for sushi :sowhat: yuck!

  8. Kristie says on March 19th, 2007 at 12:01 pm :

    Aw, that sucks your trip was cancelled! Maybe you will get the chance to go again soon.

    I think I’m the only person on the internet that doesn’t have a flickr account. Haha.

  9. Austin says on March 20th, 2007 at 5:59 pm :

    Haha, what a great reason to sleep earlier =D. If only it worked for me “/…. but hey, Mountain Dew works too :jump:

    That’s cool. I should try to sign up with that one day, but my camera phone is exactly what I would like to call… “great”… at all….

    SUSHI?? RAW FISH? I haven’t had it before, but heard it’s good. It just doesn’t ‘look’ so appetizing :D.

  10. Soup says on March 21st, 2007 at 11:07 am :

    Huh, I have been thinking about getting a flickr account. But I’m not sure.

    I love the zoo! I haven’t been to one since I was like ten, though, but one of my classes is going to the zoo next month. Yay! I’m gonna take tons of pics and vids.:grin:

  11. katie says on March 21st, 2007 at 8:58 pm :

    I have never had sushi, and to be honest, i dont really have the balls to try it either, lol. I get weirded out when I think about eating sausage (all those different colors and textures, ugghhhhh… i mention this because this happened just two days ago:(), i dont think I could stomach sushi. But i see it everywhere on campus. I wish I could eat it; itd be so much healthier than the jr cheeseburger deluxes I eat instead:ashamed:.

  12. Shari says on March 22nd, 2007 at 5:28 am :

    I guess I’m pretty lucky I don’t have to go through the DST fiasco. I’m really sorry that it’s tiring you. Talk about “saving” energy. ^_^

    At first I didn’t want Flickr because it’s so mainstream, lol. But I gave in and got one, and it’s pretty cool, yeah. I like the thumbnails too, so I don’t have to bother making one. Blah.

    Sorry the trip to the zoo was canceled. But hey, there’s always next time, right? :D

  13. Checkers says on March 22nd, 2007 at 2:50 pm :

    You’re pictures are great.

    If I had to pick a food to eat for one year it would have to be plain pasta. I’m addicted to it.

  14. Sarah says on March 23rd, 2007 at 3:21 pm :

    Yeah, I don’t eat sushi with wasabi either. It is not quite the type of spicyness I like to have in my food, lol. I should also try not to drink so much caffeine! I can’t go through an entire day sometimes without having a cappucino or a cup of tea. I definetely do not want to have yellow stained teeth, so why not give it up? Easier said than done, lol.

  15. Kelly says on March 24th, 2007 at 6:26 pm :

    Urgh.. don’t remind me. Clocks are going forward an hour here (in the UK) tonight in around 30 minutes. I’m so tired, and I’m working a 12 hour shift tomorrow after an hour less sleep. Yey.

    Sushi is amazing, by the way, and I also HATE wasabi. Damn my fussy palette!

    Go Computer Scientists, by the way :smile: And femgeeks too! (Not that I’m implying you’re a geek or anything :innocent: )

  16. Skye says on March 24th, 2007 at 11:37 pm :

    Too bad you’re not going to the zoo – I love the zoo. All of the different animals and all – the zoo is definitely the place to take a ton of photos :)

  17. Deanna says on March 25th, 2007 at 9:18 am :

    Haha, oh believe me. I visit facebook.com a million times a day. Even that gets boring after a while. But thanks for the suggestion!

    Wow, you have some really beautiful flowers in your garden! I think I need to go for a walk in the woods sometime soon and start taking some pictures. Maybe next weekend :D

    Aww, that sucks that you didn’t go to the zoo!!! I went to that zoo once on my grade 9 trip and it was awesome. There was this room that was full of butterflies and one landed right on my friends head. I still have that picture. I love it! But the day we went was way too hot so I didn’t even get to see all of the animals :(

  18. Tiffany says on March 26th, 2007 at 9:40 am :

    No wasabi?! Gahhh! That’s sometimes the best part! Not too much though cuz otherwise it’s too spicy. :yikes:

    That stinks about the zoo. Maybe you can find coupons that will get you in for half price or something. That’s how they do it down here sometimes.

  19. Amanda says on March 28th, 2007 at 5:40 am :

    I love Flickr! I also enjoy taking pictures. I looked though yours and they are really good. The pcitures of the roses are beautiful!

  20. Kristopher says on March 28th, 2007 at 11:55 am :

    Haha I like the shots of the flowers, getting good shots of a flower is such a hard thing to do…nice job on them =)

  21. Sean says on March 30th, 2007 at 9:53 am :

    I’d pick New York pizza anyday. I don’t really like sushi, or any type of fish.
    Maybe your trip can be rechedulled instead of cancelled? Or maybe you can go with someone else.

  22. Holly says on March 30th, 2007 at 2:11 pm :

    I have never had sushi in my life. Actually, to be honest, I’m kind of afraid to even try it. It’s just one of those forbidden foods for myself.

  23. Jaleesa says on March 30th, 2007 at 8:06 pm :

    That sucks about not going to the zoo. I’d be bummed too. :(

  24. Kimberly says on March 30th, 2007 at 8:17 pm :

    Sorry about your trip to the zoo being cancelled. Hope you can go some other time!
    I like sushi without the wasabi as well. =)
